BlueXP is now NetApp Console
Monitor and run hybrid cloud data services
Hello everyone, Daniel Lopez once again from the VMware Explore Barlona here at the floor and I have with me Rahul Sarma, principal technical architect for hybrid cloud environments at Netup. Welcome Rahul. >> Thank you Dario. Thank you for being here. Yeah, I appreciate it. So I would like I mean you just came up of a session but I would like to first ask you what's going on in the NVME world like we hear a lot of about it. >> Can you tell me more? >> Absolutely. So NVME if you know NetApp has been the first major vendor to bring NV end toend NVMe into the storage>> right and we've taken that for both fiber channel and TCP. So we've been doing that for a good few years. >> What we're doing now moving forward we're taking that to VW walls. So if you're a customer looking to move to vivol, we will have support for NVME over fiber channel with vspere 8 that's coming just very soon. >> Okay, that's powerful. I like it. So and whatwould you say like is kind of thekey takeaways of that great session that you have because it'srelated to how to optimize VMware with Netup, right? >> Absolutely. So we had a good turnout u you know good customers and partners and engaging sessions. We had a few questions from customers but really the idea was to talk about what VMware is doing in public cloud and how NetApp is relevant and talking about our storage integration in the VMware cloud solution. So you know VMA cloud with FSX for net up on top Azure VMware solution with ABS with ANF and also Google cloud you know using a cloud volume service that's great >> and uh often and also talked about the challenges which customers are seeing >> that's what I wouldlike guys to ask you what is the kind of most common challenges that you see across customers >> yeah so a number of challenges I think the key aspect the elephant in the room isthe cost right thebiggest challenge is how do how can I optimize my cost I want to move to public cloud I want to leverage those services how do I make sure I do not blow up my cloud bill right and that's where we come in not only in one hyperscaler we can help customers in AWS and as I said Azure and Google cloud >> so it really gives a flexibility to a customer wherever their endpoint is NetApp is going to be there with VMware helping them complete that journey >> okay so that's great like freedom of choice cost of division that'spowerful for our customers so they want to maybe share any key takeaway with our audience from NetApp TV. >> Yeah, absolutely. I think for anyone who has uh kind of there's been a lot of announcements around this. So, I'm sure most of us listening to this should be aware. Uh but if you're not uh if you're not aware about what we've done in the public cloud space with VMware, then head to cloud.net.com or reach out to the VMware expert team you have in your local region >> and we're happy to help you. >> Absolutely. >> Absolutely. >> Absolutely.
