Jeff Whitaker, Sr. Product Marketing Manager, discusses the evolution of enterprise applications and how NetApp is supporting them as data moves to the cloud. He presents the main cloud migration strategies for SaaS, container SaaS, and serverless or microservices PaaS, rehost, refactor, rearchitect, and rebuild. Throughout the presentation, the Field Day delegates ask questions and discuss the solution.
Whitaker then moves on to discuss one challenge many applications face in the cloud, namely the need for enterprise-class file services. This is the market served by Azure NetApp Files, a fully managed Azure service that allows organizations to transition enterprise file workloads to the cloud without having to refactor and rearchitect. The key use cases for Azure NetApp Files include migration of applications and database workloads to the cloud. It provides file services for both Linux and Windows with NFS and SMB protocols. This can be used to support various enterprise applications, and Whitaker discusses Oracle, Repsol, and SAP HANA on Azure in detail. He finishes with a demonstration of Azure NetApp Files.

Chuck Foley and Mike Walsh, Sr. Directors at NetApp, discuss the challenges of VDI at enterprise scale, and present a cloud-based solution. Although organizations have been looking to VDI for over a decade, the cloud can accelerate the value of a VDI solution, presenting new options to meet the challenges of today’s remote workforce. NetApp sees VDI moving “upstream” as organizations require remote solutions everywhere all at once.
NetApp’s Virtual Desktop Service is designed to deliver VDI at enterprise scale. It includes a global control plane for hybrid or multi-cloud virtual desktop deployments leveraging VMware vSphere, HCI, and Azure, GCP, and AWS public clouds. Mike Walsh then demonstrates the SaaS portal, deploying virtual desktops in Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure as the delegates ask questions and discuss the solution. The session concludes with a discussion of the benefits of the solution: cost savings, security, and operational automation using NetApp Cloud Insights.
