What is NetApp Data Infrastructure Insights (formerly Cloud Insights)?

NetApp Data Infrastructure Insights is an observability and monitoring service that gives visibility and analytics across public clouds and private data centers. It collects data from storage, compute, and Kubernetes environments through data collectors and agents, and it includes Workload Security, which analyzes user file activity to detect suspicious behavior such as ransomware. NetApp Data Infrastructure Insights is the new name of NetApp Cloud Insights, and it replaces that product. NetApp announced the change in September 2024 at its INSIGHT conference and says the new name ties the product to its intelligent data infrastructure mission.
