When it comes to data, we live in an increasingly unstructured world. Big data, IoT, AI, machine learning, advanced analytics, and more all generate and require mind-boggling amounts of data. On the plus side, all this data is powering the next generation of innovation, from self-driving cars to social media to new medicines to more powerful business insights. However, if it’s your job to manage all this data, it can be difficult to even know where to start.
With NetApp® solutions for unstructured data, our partners can help meet their customers’ needs for data durability, availability, performance, and cost by delivering a hybrid multicloud experience. NetApp brings together the best of public and private clouds to provide at scale the frictionless consumption, self-service, automation, programmable APIs, and infrastructure independence it takes to drive business success today.

Our technologies help our partners deliver easy-to-use, massively scalable, distributed unstructured data repositories for object applications (Amazon S3, Swift) and file applications (SMB, NFS) so your customers can dynamically manage their hot and cold data storage.
