Pensando’s Role in the NetApp Portfolio
There are lots of effective partnerships in the tech world, but one of our favorites to watch grow is Pensando and NetApp. Presenting at Storage Field Day earlier this year, they delved into how Pensando’s chip in NetApp’s all-flash array combine to powerful results. Writing for GestaltIT.com, Georgina Ford says she likes the flexibility that the Pensando card offers based largely on the fact that it’s essentially a whole computer compressed into a single chip! Check out Georgina’s thoughts and the NetApp and Pensando partner presentation on the Gestalt IT website!
Cloud Storage in a Snap With NetApp
The products recently launched by NetApp and Google Cloud are simple to use and easy to get started with.

Who Is NetApp?
Enrico Signoretti, a delegate at Cloud Field Day earlier this year, had the chance to see NetApp present on some of their cloud solutions. Enrico notes that NetApp has undergone a change in focus so that they’re no longer a traditional storage vendor as they shift towards the cloud. On the heels of this change, he writes that NetApp “is one of the most hybrid-savvy vendors in the market landscape.” If you haven’t seen it yet, be sure to check out Enrico’s analysis in GigaOm!

What Is the Future for Storage Admins?
Storage has changed rapidly over the past decade, and the role of the storage admin has changed along with it. Gina Rosenthal considers what the future of the storage admin looks like in this piece, based on what she saw at Storage Field Day. It says a lot about the state of storage that many companies traditionally thought of as storage providers are now presenting at the event. She looks at NetApp’s approach with the Cloud Volumes Service, on-premises scale-out systems from Dell Technologies’ PowerScale solution, Igneous’ data management platform built on a scale-out file system, and Qumulo’s file data platform. Even as storage changes and goes to the cloud, Gina thinks the skills that storage admins have built up are more needed than ever.
