which offers innovative storage and
data management solutions, has unveiled new platform features,
products, and technologies that will help customers make the
transition to a flexible and efficient, shared IT infrastructure. The
company has registered a 32 percent growth in 2010 as compared to
2008, and has acquired Bycast in May, this year. Started with NAS,
the company has more than 30,000 SAN deployments.
Rajesh Janey, President,
NetApp India and SAARC said that more than one billion consumers
receive cloud services from NetApp. "In India, we have our
presence in 60 cities and have over 700 customers, and close to 2,500
system installations. We are targeting government, BFSI and telecom,
and work with VARs and regional SIs," he said. According to
Janey, shared IT infrastructure solutions are spearheading the
transition from the traditional approach to an on-demand model. The
comprehensive portfolio of new platforms and solutions will help
businesses in their transformation to a flexible and efficient,
shared IT infrastructure. This would enable them to capitalize on new
opportunities, go to market faster and innovate ahead of their
competition. Speaking to The DQ Week, Surajit Sen,

"We give shared IT
infrastructure to our customers based on future-ready efficiency.
NetApp provides significant savings, that include
performance-per-dollar and capacity-per-dollar," said Syed
Masroor, Manager-Pre-Sales, NetApp. "There is a significant
change underway, as CIOs look to better align IT to the speed of
business and get IT budgets under control,” said Tom Georgens,
President and CEO, NetApp. According to Georgens, the decisions IT
leaders make, will not only impact how they compete today, but also
the long-term success of their businesses. "Winners in this
market are thinking and choosing differently, and more customers are
turning to NetApp as their storage platform, to achieve greater
flexibility and efficiency. We are paving the way for customers to
transition to a shared IT infrastructure, that will help them to be
ready for the future and use IT as a tool, to capitalize on new
growth opportunities,” Georgens added.
