Thanks to the combination of NetApp Cloud Volumes technology and Talon FAST™ software, businesses can seamlessly centralize data in the cloud while maintaining a consistent remote experience.

“As we expand our cloud data services offerings with solutions like Cloud Volumes ONTAP®, Cloud Volumes Service, Azure NetApp Files, and Cloud Insights, we are thrilled to announce the potential of this new combined team to deliver comprehensive solutions for primary workloads,” said Anthony Lye, senior vice president and general manager of NetApp’s Cloud Data Services business unit. “We share the same vision as the Talon team: a unified presence for unstructured data that is seamlessly accessible to all users, regardless of their location, as if all users and data were physically in the same place. And to do so without impacting workflow or user experience—all at a lower cost.”. 

NetApp's acquisition of Talon enhances the company's cloud data services portfolio with a solution that addresses all the challenges of remote work with shared files. Talon FAST is a cloud data service that provides a "Global File Cache" for ROBO workloads, enabling file server consolidation into a secure and globally accessible file system on our public cloud platform.

Talon's software will integrate with Cloud Volumes ONTAP, Cloud Volumes Service, and Azure NetApp Files solutions, offering customers a faster path to the public cloud at a more efficient total cost of ownership.
