After seeing the productivity and innovation\nbenefits customers experienced using Gemini Enterprise integrated with their\ndata in Google Cloud NetApp Volumes, NetApp has adopted Gemini Enterprise to\nhelp increase productivity in its internal product development and sales\noperations.\n\nWith the adoption of Google Cloud AI technologies, NetApp is expanding its\nleadership in enterprise-grade AI innovation, not just enabling AI workloads\nbut acting as an AI practitioner. NetApp customers will benefit from the\nAI-powered gains in productivity and innovation.\n\n“AI is an imperative for enterprise success, and NetApp is committed to\nleading by example,” said César Cernuda, President at NetApp. \"Adopting\nGemini Enterprise to help accelerate internal sales and development workflows\nbuilds on our leadership in enabling enterprise AI innovation. Customers can\nrely on our expertise and experience as they adopt or build AI to achieve\ntheir own goals.”\n\nNetApp has worked with Google Cloud on NetApp Volumes, a fully managed,\nunified cloud-based data storage service from Google Cloud that offers\nadvanced data management capabilities and highly scalable performance. Ongoing\ninnovation like the NetApp Volumes data connector with Gemini Enterprise are\nenabling customers to build agentic AI capabilities into their applications\nand power them with enterprise proprietary data on NetApp Volumes directly and\nsecurely, saving them on storage costs and administrative complexities.\nThrough this collaboration, NetApp saw firsthand the productivity and\ninnovation benefits this combination delivers.\n\nBased on that experience, NetApp has now adopted Gemini Enterprise internally,\nbecoming a customer of the same AI capabilities it is helping bring to market\nwith Google Cloud.\n\n“Our ongoing collaboration with Google Cloud is accelerating how enterprises\nput AI to work with trusted, enterprise‑grade data,” said Pravjit Tiwana,\nSenior Vice President and General Manager of Cloud Storage and Services at\nNetApp. “With Google Cloud NetApp Volumes, customers can bring their data on\nthe NetApp data platform to Gemini Enterprise while maintaining the security\nand control ONTAP is known for. As we saw the impact on data-driven\ndecision-making and productivity at scale that this powerful combination\ndelivered for customers, adopting Gemini Enterprise across our own teams was a\nnatural next step.”\n\nGemini Enterprise helps NetApp product teams accelerate development cycles\nthrough AI-driven insights and enables NetApp’s sales teams to leverage AI\nto deliver hyper-relevant solutions to customers more quickly. These teams are\nbuilding intelligent agents that match customers to the right solutions faster\nand streamline onboarding—reducing sales ramp time by an estimated month.\n\nIn addition to Gemini Enterprise, NetApp has been using Google Security\nOperations for enhanced cybersecurity and threat management. By deploying the\nplatform’s advanced AI-driven automation, NetApp can significantly enhance\nproactive threat prevention and free analysts from repetitive tasks. This will\nhelp to accelerate the identification and containment of breaches and minimize\nthe likelihood and impact of a major data breach.\n\n\"Gemini Enterprise is unlocking tangible business outcomes and fundamentally\nreshaping how enterprises operate,” said Kevin Ichhpurani, President, Global\nPartner Ecosystem, Google Cloud. “NetApp is a prime example of a partner\nacting as an AI practitioner. By adopting Gemini Enterprise internally, they\nare proving how agentic AI can fundamentally reshape product development and\nsales operations, while simultaneously helping our joint customers do the same\nwith their own proprietary data.”\n\nThis adoption cements NetApp’s position as a leader in AI, grounded in\nenterprise-grade data and responsible innovation. With a comprehensive\nportfolio with capabilities built to modernize, secure, transform, and\ninnovate with confidence, NetApp helps customers build Intelligent Data\nInfrastructure. The expanded collaboration with Google Cloud helps extend\nNetApp’s commitment to advancing AI technology and shaping the future of\nenterprise AI.\n\nTo explore how NetApp’s experience implementing, building and enabling AI\ntranslates into capabilities that help businesses extract the most value from\ntheir data, visit: https://www.netapp.com/artificial-intelligence/\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.netapp.com%2Fartificial-intelligence%2F&esheet=54519975&newsitemid=20260422171803&lan=en-US&anchor=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.netapp.com%2Fartificial-intelligence%2F&index=1&md5=b52c17c3fd1c45ed65989fab8d2ebac0)\n\nAdditional Resources\n\n\n * NetApp Transforms Enterprise Cloud with Google Cloud\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.netapp.com%2Fnewsroom%2Fpress-releases%2Fnews-rel-20251014-235503%2F&esheet=54519975&newsitemid=20260422171803&lan=en-US&anchor=NetApp+Transforms+Enterprise+Cloud+with+Google+Cloud&index=2&md5=9c7e255be2708cea13660192d7a40811)\n\n * Google Cloud NetApp Volumes: Fully Managed Unified Storage Service from Google\nCloud\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.netapp.com%2Fgoogle-cloud%2Fnetapp-volumes%2F&esheet=54519975&newsitemid=20260422171803&lan=en-US&anchor=Google+Cloud+NetApp+Volumes%3A+Fully+Managed+Unified+Storage+Service+from+Google+Cloud&index=3&md5=282416c3108488989cd525b70d2235ae)\n\nAbout NetApp\n\nFor more than three decades, NetApp has helped the world’s leading\norganizations navigate change – from the rise of enterprise storage to the\nintelligent era defined by data and AI.

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.
