NetApp and Red Hat Enhance OpenShift Data Protection
NetApp announced new data management capabilities optimized for Red Hat OpenShift and OpenShift Virtualization to improve backup, recovery, disaster recovery, and scalability for VM and container environments. Key updates include Change Block Tracking (CBT) and incremental-forever backups in NetApp Backup and Recovery to accelerate VM- and application-granular restores; NetApp Disaster Recovery entering public preview as an orchestrated DR-as-a-service for Kubernetes-based VMs; general availability of Google Cloud NetApp Volumes and the Trident CSI driver on Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud; and Trident Parallelism to run storage operations concurrently for Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP and Google Cloud NetApp Volumes. NetApp and Red Hat say the collaboration targets more predictable backup windows, simplified disaster recovery at scale, and consistent hybrid/multi-cloud operations. The announcement was published May 12, 2026.
Improvements to backup, recovery and disaster-recovery workflows for Red Hat OpenShift increase operational reliability and scalability for enterprise cloud-native workloads, but the changes are incremental for the broader AdTech/MarTech industry.
