[Advertorial] Sandeep Singh, Director of Product Engineering at NetApp, presents the strategy of the storage solutions company

According to Sandeep Singh, NetApp’s overall product portfolio leader, companies today face several challenges, including the complexities of managing multi-cloud environments and protecting their data. To support these businesses, NetApp recently introduced the C-Series ASA system, a leading high-capacity flash storage system that is more efficient, longer lasting and more secure. In addition, NetApp has developed a strategy based on three pillars: best-in-class on-prem storage, cloud storage services and data management services. The latter aims to improve data efficiency, compliance and governance.

Companies already use multiple clouds and store data for commercial and legal reasons. NetApp offers a complete solution that enables block, file and object storage with a unified approach. Unlike other vendors, NetApp takes a hybrid approach by offering both flash arrays and traditional disk arrays while maintaining the economic advantages of the latter through dating. Software services play an important role in simplifying data placement and providing greater flexibility throughout the data lifecycle. The ultimate goal is to extend these services to hybrid infrastructures by integrating automated functions and a management layer.

By using a single system, ONTAP, consistency is possible between on-premises and cloud environments. This consistency increases thanks to a unified control plan with BlueXP that provides transparency and governance. Depending on the situation, these processes take place at the data or metadata level. Analytics services also provide the ability to predict requirements using AIOps tools.

NetApp pays particular attention to the challenges faced by companies in the area of ​​sustainability. And especially with regard to reducing CO2 emissions. By using flash arrays, NetApp is able to significantly reduce users’ energy consumption by 70%. This allows companies to extend the lifespan of materials by 7 to 10 years while benefiting from the benefits of flash technology.
