    "what_it_does": "NetApp Console, formerly BlueXP, is a unified control plane that provides centralized management, intelligent operations, and a security-first foundation for NetApp data and storage services across hybrid multi-cloud environments. It enables users to maximize productivity, protect data, and maintain control by offering services for storage (including NetApp On-premises, Cloud Volumes ONTAP, Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, Azure NetApp Files, and Google Cloud NetApp Volumes), data mobility (copy and sync, tiering), data protection (backup and recovery, disaster recovery, replication, and ransomware protection), and analysis and control (observability, classification, AIOps & storage health, and digital wallet).",
    "primary_audience": "IT professionals, cloud architects, and data managers who manage NetApp storage solutions and data services across on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments.",
    "core_product": "The core product is the NetApp Console (formerly BlueXP), which acts as a unified control plane. It integrates and manages various NetApp data and storage services, including Cloud Volumes ONTAP, Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, Azure NetApp Files, and Google Cloud NetApp Volumes, along with data protection, mobility, and analysis services.",
    "pricing_model": {
      "kind": "freemium",
      "detail": "The NetApp Console itself is free to use, but costs are incurred when deploying Console agents or utilizing specific NetApp data services. Pricing for data services and Cloud Volumes ONTAP is typically consumption-based (pay-as-you-go) or subscription-based, with options for annual contracts and capacity-tiered licensing packages. A freemium tier is available for Cloud Volumes ONTAP with a 500 GiB limit per system."
