NetApp: Most Innovative Data Storage Solutions Global 2016
NetApp is a multinational storage and data management company offering software, systems, and services to manage and store data, including its proprietary Data ONTAP operating system.
Since the company began in 1993, it has consistently delivered innovation which has propelled its customers onto new frontiers – from Formula One auto-racing to the conception of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider.
NetApp has reached milestone after milestone within its role as a global pioneer, being the first to achieve many of the technological innovations it now offers. The company collaborates with other technology leaders in order to create the specific solutions its customers need. Global enterprise leaders and service providers worldwide count on NetApp for software, systems, and services to manage and store endless streams of data.
NetApp’s focus for 2016 is particularly exciting: the company is poised to begin revolutionising emerging markets with the same pioneering, insightful style it conquered western markets with.
In Africa, NetApp has teamed up with Internet Solutions in order to be the first on the continent to offer performance-based storage tiers. NetApp’s SolidFire all-flash platform delivers guaranteed performance and capacity at scale, while eliminating data migrations and cutting the cost of operational overhead in half – optimising performance, risk, licensing, cost, and modular scalability. NetApp has also recently signed a contract with India’s proposed Smart City, Varanasi, whereby the firm will provide storage, surveillance, and security infrastructure for the project’s initiatives.
