Storage Blog



The article discusses a comprehensive migration strategy for moving NetApp storage and Azure Active Directory from on-premises data centers to Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP in the AWS cloud, focusing on maintaining user access and permissions.

  • Uses VPC Peering to connect on-premises and AWS environments
  • Establishes a one-way trust between IDC and AWS Active Directory
  • Utilizes NetApp SnapMirror for data replication and synchronization
  • Preserves existing user access URLs and authentication methods
  • Configures DNS and domain controllers to enable seamless access
  • Offers potential cost savings through ONTAP deduplication and capacity pooling

The solution provides enterprises with a flexible, efficient method to migrate storage and identity systems to the cloud while minimizing disruption and maintaining user experience.
