Keystone benefits

Keystone provides storage capacity at predefined performance service levels for file, block and object storage types. This storage can be deployed on-premises and operated by NetApp, a partner, or the customer. Keystone can be used in association with NetApp cloud services, such as Cloud Volumes ONTAP that can be deployed on a hyperscalar environment of your choice.

Keystone Storage-as-a-service (STaaS)

Storage-as-a-service (STaaS) offerings aim to deliver a public cloud-like model for the procurement, deployment, and management of storage infrastructure. While many enterprises are still working on their strategy for hybrid cloud, Keystone STaaS offers the flexibility to start with on-premises services and transition to the cloud when the time is right. This ensures that you can protect your commitments across different deployment models, reallocating your spending as needed without increasing your monthly bill.
