Providing the best possible outcomes for our customers has always been Xtravirt’s mission, that is why we are dedicated to being a centre of excellence when it comes to the VMware portfolio. Unlocking the full value of IT means not working in isolation, and we are proud to show our commitment to delivering the best business outcomes for VMware customers with our new NetApp partner status. As a NetApp Preferred Partner, we use our market leading expertise to unlock even more potential from VMware environments using advanced data intelligence, offering more secure, seamless and sustainable storage across private and public cloud environments.
Enhancing VMware environments with NetApp’s unified data management
Intelligent data storage allows you to optimise costs, increase performance, and remove siloes to make data available from anywhere, across clouds and data centres.
- Optimise cost and performance: Utilising intelligent data tiering, NetApp can make recently and frequently used data instantly available while deprioritising older data onto a lower cost storage option. This reduces your day-to-costs of storage while speeding up access to high priority data.
- Unify your cross-platform data: Whether it was a strategic decision or more a case of organic growth, most modern businesses have adopted a multi-cloud model across several on-premise and public cloud platforms, each with siloed data. NetApp’s ONTAP solution allows data from all these platforms to flow freely, ensuring that all your data is available from all your platforms.
- Maximise security and minimise business risk: NetApp’s integration with VMware helps organisations secure their data and reduce business risk through multi-layered data protection. Key security measures include data-at-rest encryption, snapshot protection against ransomware, and efficient replication for disaster recovery purposes.
A focus on customer success
Our NetApp Preferred Partner status translates directly into tangible benefits:
- Expert guidance: While our certification proves we have the necessary skills to deliver NetApp, the true value of the partnership comes from the value we can unlock for VMware customers when combined with our core expertise and long record of success with VMware solutions .
- Optimised solutions: We can now offer even more optimised solutions tailored to specific VMware workloads, maximising performance, efficiency and ROI across cloud and data centre environments.

Harnessing the power of three
While the combination of any two of these organisations, VMware, NetApp and Xtravirt – offers significant advantages, the real value is unlocked when all three come together. VMware provides the robust foundation for your data centre and cloud environments, NetApp delivers the cutting-edge data management and storage solutions to maximise your performance and efficiency, and Xtravirt brings the proven knowledge, expertise and personalised service to design and deploy solutions with absolute confidence, ensuring seamless integration and ongoing optimisation. This trifecta empowers you to unlock unprecedented value, whether modernising your existing infrastructure or embarking on a new VMware Cloud Foundation journey.
