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 […]
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 […]
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.

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.

As NetApp continues to expand into the world of cloud and open source technologies, our relationship with Red Hat is absolutely critical. NetApp’s leading integrations and solutions for the Red Hat ecosystem center around how organizations like yours can build a […]
Break free of infrastructure constraints. We’re often asked what makes the NetApp® HCI solution so different from other products on the market. When answering, we start the basic definition of HCI. Others say it stands for hyperconverged infrastructure – and that accurately describes their products. Our definition? Hybrid cloud infrastructure. Hyperconverged Infrastructure Versus Hybrid […]
