Public Sector Tech Talk E02: Make a New World Happen With Data

Event Overview

More than ever, government agencies need to be able to deploy data wherever it needs to be whether that's on-prem, in a private cloud or in the public cloud. Providing the flexibility to adapt to changing work conditions while containing costs and keeping data available, secure, and accessible is critical. But how? NetApp and WWT help the public sector build and fully realize a data fabric by providing a cloud lead, data centered approach to digital modernization. NetApp enables organizations to confidently manage and maintain control of their data across any cloud, accelerating innovation and IT responsiveness. By providing a data fabric that spans private cloud, service providers and hyperscale cloud providers, NetApp allows organizations to embrace the cloud on their own terms by integrating enterprise-class data management and control with the flexibility, speed and economics of the public cloud.
