To plan a storage environment that deals
effectively with requirements for access, security, regulatory
compliance, cost control, and change, IT architects must assume
multiple roles. They need to be lawyers, security guards, financial
controllers, diplomats, technologists, and fortune tellers. To
mitigate this unreasonable expectation, CIOs are turning to their
storage vendors for help.
At NetApp, innovation is born of imagination
and molded by pragmatism. As a leading innovator in networked
storage systems, storage and data management, and scale-out
technologies, NetApp is dedicated to simplifying the complex world
of enterprise data management to help IT organizations reduce cost
and complexity, lower risk while increasing control, and adapt
quickly in response to change.
Our Advanced Technology Group (ATG) was
established to explore trends in storage, data, and information
management while maintaining a clear focus on turning these ideas
into future NetApp products.
