Just about 10 years ago, the first FlexPod was unveiled to the world. Now, a decade of innovation later, we’re taking a look at some of the most memorable highlights from our amazing (and ongoing) journey. Curious what NetApp and Cisco technologies went into building the original FlexPod? When and why we rolled out a […]
About a year ago, I started working on transforming my organisation’s entire infrastructure and data management strategy. During this time, we have had many pitches from all sorts of organisations who claim they can solve all our problems. I have also had many strange stares when I say I am not looking for the cloud […]
Embarking on an enterprise cloud journey without an application strategy is a recipe for disaster and will result in higher costs and disappointments for the organization. The first step in our cloud journey was to determine the right cloud solution―we call it target state architecture (TSA)—for all business applications in the enterprise portfolio. Inside NetApp, […]
One of the challenges of putting out an innovative product like NetApp® HCI is that it differs from existing market definitions. We’ve had plenty of discussions over the last few years about “what is HCI?” and “where do converged and hyperconverged infrastructures begin and end?” These conversations were interesting, but they didn’t help customers solve […]
Most people think of support as just break/fix. Maybe software upgrades. And with many vendors, that’s all you get for your money. But NetApp® Support is different. In addition to remote technical support, software updates, and fast delivery and installation of replacement parts, NetApp Support includes continuous value through NetApp Active IQ®. Active IQ works […]
The elixir powering today’s innovation increasingly draws from the strengths of cloud and fuels it with rich and plentiful data. But while well established; cloud paradoxically is easy to consume from, alas hard to create. And of course, cloud isn’t just one thing or one place. There’s choice amongst the public offerings, several options for […]

By 2022, more than 75% of global organizations will be running containerized applications in production–a significant increase from less than 30% today. Although there’s growing interest in and rapid adoption of containers, running them in production requires a steep learning curve due to both technological immaturity and a lack of operational knowledge. Infrastructure and operations […]
One of my roles as a member of the NetApp® IT Customer-1 program is to implement, design, and architect NetApp StorageGRID® for our object storage requirements. Our StorageGRID deployment consists of multiple Storage Nodes and is deployed across many sites. The Storage Nodes provide service endpoints for applications and manage the storage, replication, metadata, and so […]
For the past decade, as organizations have been rethinking their approach to delivering desktops to end users, many have turned to a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment. An initial driver to VDI was the focus on reducing the per-desktop cost. Along with lower cost, IT teams also had to make sure that end users didn’t […]
Last week, at Red Hat Summit 2019, we announced a new solution developed in conjunction with Red Hat: NetApp® HCI for Private Cloud with Red Hat. It’s a really exciting solution because it delivers a modern, open-source-based, true cloud on premises to enable modern agile software DevOps activities. Plus, because it’s based on NetApp HCI, […]
Enterprises are working to rapidly transform not only how they do business in today’s cloud-enabled world, but also how they can use technology to further drive positive change. It’s obvious now that the public cloud is not the final end state for infrastructure and that private cloud has reemerged as a critical element of any […]
