NetApp, the Intelligent Data Infrastructure company, announced today that Nebul has become the first neocloud to adopt NetApp Novus™. Nebul is a European AI-native cloud provider. It will use NetApp Novus to strengthen its sovereign AI infrastructure. NetApp designed this new high-performance architecture to deliver the fastest storage on the planet.
Nebul is building the Intelligent Cloud. This sovereign platform integrates accelerated infrastructure, enterprise data services and production AI capabilities. Novus is now generally available. Moreover, it is built to maximize utilization for millions of GPUs. The architecture supports up to 100 TB per second of aggregate throughput.
Nebul moved quickly to adopt the technology. Now, both companies are exploring new ways to help organizations gain an AI-powered advantage. They also want to unlock greater value from enterprise data. Nebul contributes its sovereign AI services. NetApp adds the proven power of the NetApp Platform. Together, they aim to accelerate sovereign AI adoption. At the same time, they want to give enterprises the security, governance and control their data demands.
Why Sovereign AI Infrastructure Needs a New Storage Model
For Nebul, the disaggregated architecture of Novus offers a clear operational benefit. It can keep the neocloud’s GPUs productive across its multi-tenant environment. Performance, capacity and concurrency scale independently under a single namespace as customer demand grows. Furthermore, NetApp built Novus on NetApp ONTAP® software. As a result, organizations on the NetApp Platform can extend their existing data estates into sovereign cloud environments. This design helps maintain consistent security, protection and governance. Consequently, data keeps its existing jurisdiction and access policies.
“Neoclouds and GPU-as-a-Service providers are building AI factories at a scale that traditional storage architectures were never designed to support,” said Willem Hendrickx, Senior Vice President and General Manager, EMEA and LATAM at NetApp. “As demand for data sovereignty grows, AI providers like Nebul must also build their infrastructure to address the compliance, security and multi-tenancy requirements of regulated industries such as government, healthcare and biotech. Novus combines a cutting-edge architecture built from the ground up for modern AI factories with the NetApp Platform’s established capabilities for making data AI-ready and secure, supporting customers with a faster, lower-risk path from AI pilot to production.”
“NetApp Novus represents a significant leap forward for our platform,” said Arnold Juffer, Founder and CEO of Nebul. “With this architecture, we can scale our AI Factory to serve growing customer demand without sacrificing the performance, security or compliance they depend on. More importantly, bringing together NetApp’s enterprise data infrastructure and our sovereign Intelligent Cloud can enable organizations to turn their existing data into production AI services and applications while maintaining ownership and control. We are proud to be the first neocloud to adopt this technology.”
NetApp introduced Novus in September. Since then, the architecture has gained momentum with neocloud providers. These providers are exploring how NetApp and AI cloud partners can bring NetApp-powered AI infrastructure to customers around the world.
