Overview
14 days free trial! The NetApp® Cloud Sync service provides a simple, secured and automated way to migrate data to any target, in the cloud or on premises. Whether it's file-based NAS dataset (NFS or CIFS), Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) object format or NetApp StorageGRID® Webscale appliance - Cloud Sync will convert and move it. Once data is transferred, it's fully available for use on both source and target, and Cloud Sync continuously syncs the data, based on your pre-defined schedule, moving only the deltas, so time and money spent on data replication is minimized. Cloud Sync can be used in various use cases including cloud onboarding, data migration, data tiering, data archiving, data consolidation and collaboration, data protection, big data analytics (using AWS services), and more. Cloud Sync transfers massive amounts of data - to the cloud or between servers on premises - managing issues such as transfer speed, data security, process flexibility, tracking of errors and failures, recovery mechanisms, data compatibility, continuous sync schedules and overall ease of use. Whether it's for finance, telecom, technology, government, healthcare, food, media or any other enterprise - Cloud Sync was designed to move data from any source to any target. Cloud Sync offers licensed and pay-as-you-go pricing with a 14-day free trial. Search "Cloud Sync service - Annual License" in the AWS Marketplace for the license pricing.

Automated data migration has simplified secure hybrid transfers and supports continuous sync
Reviewed on Jun 28, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
NetApp Cloud Sync is used for efficient data migration and synchronization across cloud and on-premises storage, as well as for secure environments on the cloud side.
NetApp Cloud Sync supports multiple data formats including NFS and CIFS, the NAS protocol, as well as object storage protocols for services such as Amazon and Amazon FSx .
What is most valuable?
The best features for NetApp Cloud Sync are automating data migration between on-premises and cloud storage and performing continuous synchronization. It supports multiple protocols such as NFS, CIFS, and other object storage protocols, enhances data security and cloud security on the NetApp side, and provides great scalability and flexible storage.
I find myself relying most on automated data migration, continuous synchronization, supporting multiple protocols, and the scalability and flexibility. NetApp Cloud Sync simplifies migrating between one site to another in the cloud environment and allows users to set predefined schedules for data transfer. The synchronization feature ensures that once data is transferred to NetApp Cloud Sync, it is synced continuously according to schedules, moving data from one site to another, optimizing bandwidth usage and reducing the cost associated with data replication. The support for multiple protocols in the NAS environment, such as NFS for Linux and CIFS for Windows, integrates well into the existing architecture. The service is designed for managing very large volumes of data with efficiency and is also very flexible.
NetApp Cloud Sync can be used for data migration, continuous synchronization, and protocol support.
What needs improvement?
If NetApp Cloud Sync supported other types of protocols, such as the SAN protocol, it would be very useful for replicating data from one site to another.
On the support side of NetApp Cloud Sync, everything is good, but if they could implement support on the SAN side as well, it would be very useful.
If AI capabilities were included in NetApp Cloud Sync, it would be very useful because if a failure occurred on the replication side, AI could identify it and what the issue was, allowing for easy resolution of the issue in the future.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used NetApp Cloud Sync for the last couple of years for automation and security purposes.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
NetApp Cloud Sync is stable in my experience.
NetApp Cloud Sync's accuracy and reliability of output is consistent.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of NetApp Cloud Sync is designed to manage large volumes of data with efficiency, making it very suitable for enterprises with growing data needs. It can scale to accommodate increasing data loads without compromising performance.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support for NetApp Cloud Sync is very good; support is provided immediately, and issues are resolved very quickly.
What other advice do I have?
The benefits of using NetApp Cloud Sync include support for multi-level protocols and data migration, enhancing collaboration on the storage side, as well as speed, data security, and process flexibility.
With NetApp storage systems such as Cloud Volumes services, Amazon FSx , and NetApp ONTAP , NetApp Cloud Sync provides very rapid and reliable synchronization in any direction, allowing for replication of data from one site to another very quickly and according to a schedule, making the tool easy and automated.
