The\nheterogeneous metadata capability of NetApp AI Data Engine (AIDE) helps\norganizations discover, understand, govern, and operationalize data where it\nlives, while an expanded integration with Commvault connects the NetApp\nPlatform with Commvault recovery orchestration workflow to help customers\ndetect attacks earlier and recover cleaner data faster.\n\nAs AI agents move from experimentation into production, enterprise data\ninfrastructure has become a critical business dependency. Agents can read,\nretrieve, and act on data at machine speed, but most enterprise data estates\nwere built for human-paced workflows: fragmented across file, object, cloud,\non-premises, and sovereign environments; governed through inconsistent\ncontrols; and activated through pipelines that copy, move, and transform data\nbefore it can be used. That traditional approach creates latency, cost,\ncompliance risk, and answers that may already be stale by the time they reach\na model or agent.\n\n“The agentic enterprise will be defined by how quickly and safely\norganizations can turn their data into intelligence,” said Asad Khan, Senior\nVice President and General Manager, AI at NetApp. “For too long, AI\ninitiatives have depended on complex pipelines that move data away from where\nit is created, governed, and protected. NetApp is taking a different approach:\nactivating data in place with the governance, resiliency, and openness\nenterprises require. With AI Data Engine and our expanded work with Commvault,\nwe are helping customers give agents trusted business context while\nstrengthening the recovery foundation AI-driven operations depend on.”\n\nThese latest NetApp Platform updates help customers move beyond copy-first AI\narchitectures and toward a governed, protected, zero-copy operating model for\nenterprise data. Key updates include:\n\n\n * NetApp AI Data Engine is a core intelligence service within the NetApp\nPlatform’s AI Data Services layer, helping organizations transform\nfragmented, unstructured enterprise data into trusted, AI-ready assets for\nanalytics, assistants, and AI agents. With the new update, NetApp is expanding\nthe availability of metadata discovery across the full enterprise data estate,\nincluding NetApp ONTAP®, StorageGRID®, and non-NetApp storage. These\ncapabilities help customers discover and understand data in place across NFS,\nSMB, and S3 repositories, immediately enabling them to uncover data, reduce\nsecurity risk, optimize storage, accelerate data migrations, and identify\nAI-ready data. NetApp is also previewing upcoming AIDE innovations, including\nexpanded AI-powered data understanding capabilities, deeper governance\nintelligence, open analytics integrations with analytics engines such as\nStarburst and Onehouse.AI, and new agentic services designed to help\nenterprises securely turn data into actionable AI context at scale.\n\n * Expanded NetApp and Commvault Joint Solution enables customers to protect and\nrestore the data they use for AI workloads. Powered by the NetApp Platform,\nthe solution delivers near-real-time threat detection, deeper scans that\nuncover evasive threats, cleanroom validation with advanced AI threat\ndetection technology in an isolated environment, and advanced clean recovery,\nall from the Commvault console. It connects the NetApp Platform's autonomous\nransomware protection signals on primary storage directly to Commvault\nrecovery workflows to enable joint customers to recover in minutes rather than\ndays or weeks without introducing reinfection.\n\nTogether, these updates advance the NetApp Platform as the data foundation for\nthe agentic enterprise. Rather than treating AI readiness as a separate\ndata-copy project or a closed, single-vendor stack, NetApp enables enterprises\nto activate existing data in place while preserving the access controls, data\nprotection, and operational choice already in place. This approach helps\ncustomers deliver near-term storage and governance outcomes while building\ntoward richer AI-ready data capabilities, including semantic search, knowledge\ngraphs, decision context, and agentic activation.\n\n“As AI-driven threats compress response times, organizations need a faster\npath to trusted recovery,” said Pranay Ahlawat, Chief Technology and AI\nOfficer at Commvault. “By integrating NetApp’s ransomware detection and\nimmutable data protection with Commvault’s clean recovery capabilities, we\nhelp customers accelerate response, restore trusted data with confidence, and\nreduce mean time to clean recover (MTCR).”\n\n“Agentic AI raises the bar for enterprise data infrastructure, because\nagents need access to current, trusted, and governed data rather than another\ncopy of yesterday's dataset,” said Shari Lava, GVP of AI Research at IDC.\n“NetApp's approach is a useful example of this shift: connecting data\ndiscovery, understanding, governance, activation, and cyber resilience at the\nstorage layer, where much of the enterprise data estate already resides.\nVendors that can do this well give customers a more pragmatic path to prepare\ndata for AI, without the risk, cost, and complexity that often come with\nlarge-scale data movement.”\n\nStatements by NetApp about unreleased offerings and future plans are for\ninformational purposes only, are subject to change without notice, and should\nnot be relied upon for purchasing or other decisions.

Today, NetApp is the Intelligent Data\nInfrastructure company, helping customers turn data into a catalyst for\ninnovation, resilience, and growth.\n\nAt the heart of that infrastructure is the NetApp data platform – the\nunified, enterprise-grade, intelligent foundation that connects, protects, and\nactivates data across every cloud, workload, and environment. Built on the\nproven power of NetApp ONTAP, our leading data management software and OS, and\nenhanced by automation through the AI Data Engine and AFX, it delivers\nobservability, resilience, and intelligence at scale.\n\nDisaggregated by design, the NetApp data platform separates storage, services,\nand control so enterprises can modernize faster, scale efficiently, and\ninnovate without lock-in. As the only enterprise storage platform natively\nembedded in the world’s largest clouds, it gives organizations the freedom\nto run any workload anywhere with consistent performance, governance, and\nprotection.\n\nWith NetApp, data is always ready – ready to defend against threats, ready\nto power AI, and ready to drive the next breakthrough. That’s why the\nworld’s most forward-thinking enterprises trust NetApp to turn intelligence\ninto advantage.\n\nLearn more at www.netapp.com\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fnam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com%2F%3Furl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.netapp.com%252F%26data%3D05%257C02%257CAndrew.Erickson%2540netapp.com%257C88ab8494313c4a0cc1a608de0854809c%257C4b0911a0929b4715944bc03745165b3a%257C0%257C0%257C638957356201194306%257CUnknown%257CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%253D%253D%257C0%257C%257C%257C%26sdata%3Dk2Esod4xMUmtZCuC5HuqAtCu29OLxnxDVhLNX%252BB8BDI%253D%26reserved%3D0&esheet=54612698&newsitemid=20260929161100&lan=en-US&anchor=www.netapp.com&index=4&md5=712c453b84a1be96b9bb33338dc7c6e2)\nor follow us on X\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2FNetApp&esheet=54612698&newsitemid=20260929161100&lan=en-US&anchor=X&index=5&md5=c339b5a50423188b43fd7d5cd459f830)\n, LinkedIn\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fcompany%2Fnetapp&esheet=54612698&newsitemid=20260929161100&lan=en-US&anchor=LinkedIn&index=6&md5=338dec6758394bf3cdb07331f7f400a4)\n, Facebook\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FNetApp%2F&esheet=54612698&newsitemid=20260929161100&lan=en-US&anchor=Facebook&index=7&md5=1f711a1cd19c05f3ff97e258b4470d8c)\n, and Instagram\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fnetapp&esheet=54612698&newsitemid=20260929161100&lan=en-US&anchor=Instagram&index=8&md5=aa317a0274e58406d4309741ab42d469)\n.\n\nNETAPP, the NETAPP logo, and the marks listed at www.netapp.com/TM\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.netapp.com%2Fcompany%2Flegal%2Ftrademarks%2F&esheet=54612698&newsitemid=20260929161100&lan=en-US&anchor=www.netapp.com%2FTM&index=9&md5=8903bc99d1184f5337350d9ef1064fa7)\nare trademarks of NetApp, Inc.
