NetApp’s Dave Hitz on the Cloud

March 17, 2017 by Rich Stroffolino 2 Comments

NetApp’s Dave Hitz on the Cloud

I recently watched a brief talk given by Dave Hitz, a founder and Executive VP at NetApp. His particular portion didn’t get down into the weeds of what NetApp is bringing to the table with their Data Fabric or StorageGRID. There were presentations before he spoke that sated my need for technical details. Instead, Dave focused on giving a broader vision of what NetApp was trying to do. This is always a bit of a risky bet when addressing a more technically minded crowd. It’s easy to sound grandiose with your overall corporate vision, and too often these talks stray into marketing. Fortunately, Dave took the time to make it an engaging discussion.

1&1: A Global Local ISP Adds Flash

At the next NetApp Insight in Las Vegas (26-29 September 2016) I’ll have the chance to meet up with a number of end users and, among them, 1&1. In fact, one of the best moments at the last NetApp SolidFire Analyst Day was interviewing end users and I really hope to repeat that experience. Especially now that the two companies are starting to integrate more.
