In today’s fast-changing business world, where attracting new customers, retaining customer loyalty, and remaining competitive, developing the right software makes a difference. At the same time, the longstanding cultural divide between development and operations has traditionally inhibited collaboration and led to slow development cycles.

There’s no question that today’s pace demands the instantaneous speed of the public cloud. Today demands frictionless self-service and the independence to act on demand. Today is automatic, agile, and calculated with data. But, as it turns out, it is really hard to be automated, agile, and data driven with existing rigid infrastructures and […]
The days of small data are over. It wasn’t long ago that even the largest enterprise could store all its data on-premise. But today, there are even some small businesses that would find that prospect laughable. That’s because we’re in the middle of something that’s not so much a data explosion as a Data […]

Most, if not all IT shops, are continually looking for opportunities to reduce costs, deliver efficiency, and be prudent with their time. Automation with custom scripts is a common approach. Yet maintaining these scripts is cumbersome and time consuming. As data management experts, NetApp leans on tools like RedHat Ansible to automate software provisioning, […]
When you look at the history of hyper converged infrastructure, it’s clear that NetApp is new to the game. But that’s okay. Being new to the HCI market puts NetApp in a great position. Being able to provide convergence between traditional and new applications, between on premises and public cloud, gives us an edge that […]
