If you’re like me and have been watching the odd purchasing trends due to the pandemic, you probably remember when all the hair clippers were sold out — and then flour and yeast. Most recently, you might have seen this headline: Tupperware profits and shares soar as more people are eating at home during the pandemic. Tupperware is finally having its day. But a Tupperware […]
When we launched NetApp® HCI several years ago, we took a decidedly different approach from other vendors. We believed at the time – and we still believe – that the most important challenge to solve for customers is to simplify the growing complexity of managing IT, and especially managing data, in hybrid and multicloud environments. […]
A couple of weekends ago my family decided to go camping. We packed up the car with the cooler, the tent, chairs, stove, food. It was stuffed to the brim. We drove up into the mountains and after much deliberation we found the perfect spot. We unpacked and set up the tent, eager to get […]
For several years now, customers have approached digital transformation at their own pace. Although the benefits of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) are undeniable, for many customers the old way of doing things was often good enough, making digital transformation something they could take their time with. But now, the global COVID-19 pandemic has thrown […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. However, until […]
The hybrid cloud model is here to stay. Public cloud providers offer a simple, fast, and efficient model to consume required IT services and help optimize budgets. However, organizations still need to address the other half of the hybrid model. On-premises environments are still often the best—or only—choice to meet specific business, compliance, and operational needs. These requirements have […]
NetApp® HCI and NetApp SolidFire® are built to serve customers with high demands. It doesn’t matter what size the enterprise is; our customers need shared IT infrastructure at scale. Our customer environments are dynamic and unpredictable, and they’re experiencing rapid growth. As they have grown, they have been thriving on the industry-leading SolidFire technology architecture. And we have always looked for ways to improve not just the technology, but also the consumption and commercial models for deploying storage in these dynamic environments. That’s why we’re committed to providing flexibility with a new term-capacity licensing model. […]
For Christmas of 2018, my dad, whose technology proficiency can best be described as limited, gave me an Amazon Alexa for Christmas. And my world changed. What did I do before I had a smart home device? Alexa reminds me to take out the garbage on Sunday evenings, plays perfect party music, and has helped […]
Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) helped organizations reduce costs and complexity by consolidating compute, storage and networking into a single system. As business needs have shifted and IT teams are tasked with reducing silos, delivering and deploying apps in both public and private clouds, and creating a public cloud experience in the data center, a new architecture […]
What if you could easily manage all of your on-premises data from a single cloud interface? Wouldn’t that make creating volumes easy? Well, now you can! Like NetApp® Kubernetes Service (NKS) on NetApp HCI, NFS-based NetApp Cloud Volumes have been added to our cloud services offerings on-premises, now in preview mode. Cloud Volumes on NetApp […]
