Children’s Cancer Institute Australia and NetApp
: A partnership to cure childhood cancer
NetApp® partners with the Children’s Cancer Institute (CCI) in Australia to deliver data analytics and data management solutions. With these solutions, the CCI can make better-informed decisions for its research institute.
Zero childhood cancer
Cancer research takes an enormous amount of data, which is why NetApp is working with Australia’s CCI to accelerate discoveries and try to solve childhood cancer. The CCI uses NetApp technology to store, manage, and analyze crucial research data.
Community engagement to cure cancer
“CEO Dare to Cure” is a community engagement event and fundraising initiative of the CCI. NetApp Australia is partnering with the CCI on the new 3-year initiative, building on a shared vision to combat childhood cancer and improve outcomes for young cancer patients.

Working with the customer
The CCI has been a customer of NetApp for over 5 years. By combining forces, we aim to make a substantial difference in the lives of children affected by cancer and contribute to a world free of childhood cancer.
By partnering with NetApp, we can better manage and analyze the vast amount of genetic data generated through our research, facilitating collaborations and accelerating discoveries. This partnership brings us one step closer to finding a cure for childhood cancer. As we say— ‘It’s not if. It’s when.’
