Proven NetApp to GCS Migration – Fixed Scope, Senior Engineers
Yes, migrating NetApp ONTAP to Google Cloud Storage is a well-understood project. We handle the data mapping, POSIX path preservation, and bridge support—so you keep your legacy environment protected while you modernize.
The lowest-cost way off NetApp ONTAP: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support NetApp ONTAP → Google Cloud Storage after migration
- ✓Fixed-scope project avoids budget surprises
- ✓Senior platform engineers manage data mapping end-to-end
- ✓Preserve NFS mount paths and POSIX ACLs
- ✓Bridge support protects legacy NetApp hardware during app updates
- ✓Post-migration GCS lifecycle audits & cost analytics
- ✓24/7 US-based support throughout migration
Applications hardcoded to NFS paths
Your apps expect standard NFS mount points. Rewriting them for GCS Buckets is risky and expensive. We handle the mapping so you don't touch a line of code.
Heavy local POSIX permission controls
NetApp ONTAP relies on POSIX ACLs. Direct bucket access breaks those controls. Our engineering team mirrors permissions into GCS IAM roles exactly.
On-prem backup cost inflation
Storage costs rise, but vendor renewal fees stay high. Moving to GCS cuts spend 40-70% on the legacy platform while you plan the full transition.
NetApp ONTAP → Google Cloud Storage migration — your questions answered
How do you migrate NetApp ONTAP to Google Cloud Storage without reconfiguring application paths?+
Our senior engineers analyze your current NFS mount hierarchy and POSIX permissions, then replicate that structure as bucket folders and IAM roles. Your apps keep using the same paths—no code changes.
What happens to my NetApp hardware during the migration?+
While your vendor contract is active, we keep the legacy system under vendor support. If it lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues on the NetApp system until you fully move to GCS.
What is the typical timeline for an ONTAP to GCS migration?+
Most projects complete in 3-6 months. We deploy 2-3 senior engineers who manage the data mapping, validation, and bridge support—no big-bang cutover required.
Can you help with post-migration Google Cloud Storage costs?+
Yes. After moving files to Google buckets, we offer a GCS Bucket Lifecycle Policy Audit and Cost Analytics service to optimize Storage classes, retention, and egress charges.
