Congratulations to the team at Portworx. Starting a company, raising money, building technology, and having a successful outcome are all very difficult things to do. We think that software-defined storage for Kubernetes is a big opportunity — so much so that we have built Project Astra, a Kubernetes application data lifecycle management service that’s […]
One cloud isn’t enough For some, that’s a provocative idea. For most, though, it’s obvious. Gartner tells us that over 75% of midsize and large organizations have adopted an approach to IT that’s built on hybrid multicloud: on-premises cloud combined with more than one public cloud. And cloud isn’t enough without the edge Now […]
Ok, we’re not afraid to say it — everyone uses cloud. Whether it’s AWS or Google Cloud, Azure or Oracle, everyone uses cloud. As a provider of what some might call “traditional” data center technologies, you might not think of NetApp as a cloud provider. But we are. Over the past several […]
Speed is mandatory in application development today. Inside NetApp IT, we have built a cloud-based, automated, self-service platform called CloudOne, which lets us rapidly deliver infrastructure to help shorten application development cycles. It offers the push-button deployment of an entire application development environment that includes the application code, a database, components, network interfaces, and a […]
I’m an IT manager leading a team of 10 experienced IT specialists. My IT Director just told me we need to move to the cloud. He’s looking for my team to lead the way. All of our data resides in our data center on Dell and NetApp storage. Collectively we don’t have much experience […]
We launched Project Astra at the end of April because it was obvious to us that running stateful applications in Kubernetes is still too difficult for many users. The technology promise of Kubernetes lies in changing how applications and providing portability. Meanwhile from business perspective, IT teams have been moving to models that deliver […]
Who hasn’t jumped into the deep end of the cloud by now? Something like 94% of organizations use cloud in one form or another and, every year, more IT budget goes to cloud. That progression makes it imperative for you to understand the ins and outs of cloud spending with any cloud provider you use — […]
Have you ever had one of those days when everything was aligned and went perfectly? Like when your team’s efforts are rewarded with a performance that rivals that of Michael Phelps at the 2008 Beijing Olympics? Believe it or not, this happens to me all the time… A great example was NetApp’s participation in […]
As desktop offerings grow and evolve, the line between VDI and DaaS weakens and blurs. As each new desktop solution adds features and extends use cases, it can be incredibly challenging to identify the right choice for your organization. Gartner researched how complexity, security requirements, and user experience lend themselves to each solution, and […]
To transform their enterprises, many businesses are moving from on-premises infrastructure and applications to cloud-based storage and applications. Such a move can help them improve their data management, enable application mobility, and improve data governance. NetApp XCP is client-based software that uses all the available system resources to handle high-volume datasets and high-performance migrations. […]
Recently, we had an unusual opportunity — to talk with Spencer Hamons, an executive architect at NetApp. With a background as a healthcare CIO for more than 20 years, he’s a critical leader for the NetApp® Professional Services team. He’s also a genius at gently guiding companies as they evolve their data center infrastructures and […]
There’s no question that the success of the cloud has changed our daily lives, from the way we work, to the way we learn, to the way we socialize. Cloud has also changed the expectations for the way IT services are delivered. We’ve become accustomed to the simple, fast, and efficient model of consuming IT […]
