As generative AI causes businesses to take a renewed interest in AI and data science, enterprises are quickly reassessing their data infrastructure. After all, the foundation for any AI initiative is data, the binary bits that reside within the storage systems of organizations everywhere. So how is NetApp meeting the needs of these customers beyond selling AI-centric systems such as the NetApp ONTAP AI, a converged infrastructure solution that incorporates Nvidia’s powerful DGX A100 solution? According to Harvinder Bhela, EVP and Chief Product Officer at NetApp, the company has a simple three-pronged strategy to win customers over. "We want the best enterprise storage and on-premises storage for customers. That's number one. The second part of our strategy is to build storage [in the cloud] as a first-party, native storage with all the big public clouds,” explained Bhela. Modern enterprises will invariably store their data in the cloud, so it is important that they have a “simple, consistent solution” across both their on-premises NetApp systems and in the cloud, says Bhela. The final component of NetApp’s data strategy is ransomware protection. NetApp customers will be glad to know that ransomware protection is now baked natively into ONTAP; the system can be configured to make periodic snapshots the moment it detects ransomware at work. https://ntap.com/3RIjskR
