BlueXP is now NetApp Console
Monitor and run hybrid cloud data services
[music] So hello everyone. I'm Daniel Lopez once again here for the BMW floor at the explore event in Barcelona and here we have with me Christopher Renault. Chris, >> hey Dario, >> pleasure to have you here. Senior technical marketing engineer at Netup. So Chris, I would like to kind of start with that question. How can you say or how can you share with me what a technical marketing role does and how you help Neta? >> Yeah, so we create content. We're content creators for our customers, our partners and our field. And when I say uh content creators, what we're doing is we're developing solutions, documentation, automation, videos that really help people understand how to use ourtechnologies, our products, our features and capabilities. And as far as experience, I've been working with VMware for a long time and I'm focused on solutions on VMware on the public cloud, public cloud and uh on premises as well. >> Okay, that's great. I mean, so you are enabling everyone, right? >> Enable everyone. That's right. >> I love that. And what would you say like maybe is the kind of the most exciting news of this VMware Explorer here in Europe? Well, most exciting news. There's a lot of things to talk about, but for me, mo the first thing I want to say as far as most exciting is just being around our customers and partners. Again, it's great to talk to people in our booth. Uh, and when we come to shows like this, we're talking about the integrations that we have and we've got a lot of great things. We've been talking about how we can save people money with VMware and the public cloud. >> So, that maybe bring us to the kind of the following question is like what customers should look for or what how can we help them the best? Yeah. So I mentioned the integrations that we do and so integrations for us when we're talking about VMware is often in the context of guest connected storage for the VMs or the containers or data store support. So we've taken all that great experience that we have on prim and we're leaning into it in the public clouds. So if you've heard of GCVE, if you've heard of ABS, if you've heard of VMC, we have supplemental storage offerings that really help people today that can save them money and simplify them because we have first party services that are coming. >> That's great. So like we are present in all the three hyperscolars, big hyperscolars and maybe we can how can we link it to the new hybrid world, the both cloud conference that we just released latest on the inside last week. How can you say like we can help in that motion that hybrid world? Well, so all the integrations that we're talking about, you know, BlueXP is just the latest um demonstration of the value that we can do, right? So now you're you can be in charge of your data wherever it resides on premises or in the public clouds. >> So to kind of make a call back to the converged infrastructure discussion. So what we did with converged infrastructure, we're simplifying the compute network and storage. We're doing the same thing with um the public cloud providers as well and we're validating those solutions and um you know definitely check out NetApp TV for all the great things that we're putting out there. >> Yeah, that's it. That'san insight for you. So stay tuned. Thank you very much Chris for being here today with us. >> Appreciate it. >> Stay tuned at NetApp TV.
