Abstract In cloud-driven digital transformation, organizations are adopting advanced storage solutions to meet demands for scalability, performance, and efficiency. This paper compares two cloud storage platforms: NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP (CVO) and Azure NetApp Files (ANF). Both use NetApp's ONTAP technology but differ in deployment models, management frameworks, and cost structures. CVO is a software-defined storage solution extending on-premises ONTAP to multi-cloud environments, supporting workloads like disaster recovery, databases, and file services. ANF, a fully managed Azure-native service, facilitates file-based workload migration with high performance, scalability, and built-in redundancy. This study evaluates their architectural designs, performance, and data protection. Key findings show CVO offers cross-cloud flexibility and advanced data management, while ANF excels in Azure integration and simplicity. Analyzing use cases, protocol support, and SLAs, this paper provides insights for selecting the optimal cloud storage solution, enabling efficient data management and supporting digital transformation.
