I am thrilled to announce today we closed the Spot acquisition!
Together we are Spot by NetApp. We will offer the only solution that combines analytics, guidance and automation to continuously optimize the cloud infrastructure for every application.
- We don’t just show you information, we use advanced analytics to show you what matters and what to do.
- We don’t stop at providing that guidance, we use data-driven automation to implement those recommendations.
- We don’t just provide a static recommendation or static automation, we constantly monitor, analyze and adapt to continuously optimize based on real-time and predicted resource needs and infrastructure conditions.
- We have deep expertise in storage and compute in the cloud with enterprise and cloud-native customers:
- Storage software knowledge and experience from more than 30,000 on-premises customers
