Let’s start off with, why should you care about disaster recovery orchestration? Disaster recovery orchestration helps companies to: Prepare failover plans (a collection of commands that orchestrate, for example, a VM failover to recovery). Practice test failovers (test failovers that happen on an isolated network); and practice real failovers (a real failover in a disaster […]
A priority for IT organizations is the ability to manage various levels of severity. “Severity” differs for every organization, depending on the use case. An event can be of high severity — for example, an emergency, alert, or error message — or it could be of low severity, as with a notice or informational message. […]
In an era of zero trust, security controls should be as close to the data as possible. The threat of cybercrime is a constant, in the best of times as well as in times of crisis. It is, nevertheless, worthy of note when British and America Cybersecurity agencies join forces to issue a very rare […]
Over the past couple years I have been part of an exciting NetApp IT initiative to build a DevOps platform that provides the cloud services, automation, and CI/CD release models that our application development teams need to build cloud native applications. We call the platform CloudOne as it provides one consistent developer experience, irrespective of […]
The unprecedented promise of machine learning (ML) is still unrealized, because data scientists are spending most of their time on non-data-science work. The common practice is that ML development through deployment relies on ad hoc tools, plug-ins, scripts, and a myriad of siloed tools that are impeding organizations, large and small, from streamlining ML development. […]
Every day, hundreds of NetApp technical support engineers (TSE) troubleshoot customer cases on the front lines. They are superheroes who handle 15,000 cases each month. Yet these heroes were using “swivel chair” processes to navigate among nine separate systems to find and capture case data, support bulletins, known bug information, and knowledge base articles. They […]

In 2013, NetApp IT created its first Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) portal that allowed a small group of superusers to request virtual machines and storage from a service catalog. Within minutes, a fully running infrastructure landscape for compute and storage would be provided, irrespective of the cloud destination. It was our first foray into […]
NetApp HCI is a compelling solution for modern datacenters by offering independent scaling of compute or storage nodes, Quality of Service for granular application performance control, multi-tenancy for multiple applications to share the same resources, the ability to scale storage and compute resources independently, and advanced data services including replication and protection domains.

On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 marked the first time that humans had landed on the moon and successfully returned to earth. Before setting foot on the moon, Neil Armstrong said: “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” It was a riveting event that captivated a worldwide audience. Behind the scenes, however, this historic […]
We have not faced a global pandemic like COVID-19 in more than a century. During this massive disruption, state, local, and county governments are on the frontlines, creating new policies to address the current public health crisis and provide critical services to citizens. They’re working around the clock to support their workforce and allow their […]
The NetApp Support site, which provides our customers with self-help, interactive chat, and other forms of digital support, has been rebuilt on smaller, easier-to-manage services. The site has been transformed from an application with monolithic stacks to a modern microservices-based architecture, front ended by an Angular-based single-page application (SPA) UI. One key back-end system […]
