NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the Intelligent Data Infrastructure company, today announced that Nebul, a European AI-native cloud provider, is the first neocloud to adopt NetApp Novus™, its new high-performance architecture designed to deliver the fastest storage on the planet. Nebul is building the Intelligent Cloud, a sovereign platform integrating accelerated infrastructure, enterprise data services and production AI capabilities.

When you run production workloads on block storage attached using iSCSI, relying on a single network path between your compute and storage creates an unacceptable single point of failure. For example, if the only path between your Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance and your Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP file system fails because [...]

NetApp announced on November 10, 2026 that Nebul, a European AI-native cloud provider, is the first neocloud to adopt its Novus storage architecture for sovereign AI infrastructure. Nebul will use Novus in its sovereign Intelligent Cloud. The architecture is generally available and designed for up to 100 TB per second of aggregate throughput. Nebul describes its Intelligent Cloud as a sovereign platform combining accelerated infrastructure, enterprise data services and production AI capabilities while preserving customer ownership and control. Beyond the adoption, the companies are exploring opportunities to accelerate sovereign-AI uptake by bringing together Nebul’s services and the NetApp Platform. For Nebul’s multi-tenant environment, NetApp says Novus can scale performance, capacity and concurrency independently beneath one namespace as demand grows. Nebul founder and CEO Arnold Juffer said: “With this architecture, we can scale our AI Factory to serve growing customer demand without sacrificing the performance, security or compliance they depend on.” How Novus Separates Metadata From Data Novus separates metadata, the information that maps file locations, from movement of the data itself. NetApp’s technical explanation describes a client requesting a layout from Novus Data Director and then communicating directly with ONTAP-based storage. Data Director is an independently scalable, software-defined control layer...

Multi-admin verification adds a further layer of protection by requiring designated administrator approval for certain sensitive operations, helping reduce the risk of unauthorised or malicious changes. Roger Cummings, former CEO of PEAK, has transitioned to the role of Vice President at NetApp since the acquisition. “We are going to change the conversation around AI infrastructure,” Roger writes on LinkedIn.

Extreme Networks reportedly is exploring a sale after attracting inbound acquisition interest, with Fortinet, Cisco and NetApp interested.

NetApp's journey from a 1992 startup to an S&P 500 stalwart is defined by its pioneering role in network-attached storage (NAS) and its relentless evolution ...

You can now attach Amazon S3 Access Points to your Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP file systems in 4 additional AWS Regions, and to your Amazon FSx for OpenZFS file systems in 20 additional AWS Regions. With this capability, your file data in Amazon FSx is accessible for use with the broad range of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and analytics services and applications that work with S3, while your data continues to reside on your FSx file system. An S3 Access Point for Amazon FSx is an S3 endpoint that gives S3-based applications and services access to the data on your FSx file system through the Amazon S3 API, without copying or moving that data. For example, you can connect generative AI applications and agents to your file data with Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases so they deliver relevant, contextual responses. Users can query the same data in place with Amazon Athena or transform it with AWS Glue, and you can share files with partners over SFTP, FTPS, and FTP using AWS Transfer Family. You can also access your files from serverless compute such as Amazon ECS and AWS Fargate, or from your own S3-based applications. Amazon S3 Access Points for FSx for ONTAP and FSx for OpenZFS are now available in additional AWS Regions across North America, South America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Africa. For the full list of AWS Regions supported for each file system, see the FSx for ONTAP and FSx for OpenZFS user guides. Get started by creating and attaching S3 Access Points using the Amazon FSx console, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or the AWS Software Development Kit (AWS SDK). To learn more, visit the Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP and Amazon FSx for OpenZFS product pages, the Amazon S3 Access Points page, and the FSx for ONTAP and OpenZFS user guides.
