Why Storage, Security and Data Readiness Now Decide AI Success

AI success now depends on whether your enterprise foundation is actually ready. Recorded live at NVIDIA GTC, this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast features WWT AI leader Mike Trojecki and Everpure VP of AI and Analytics Kaycee Lai discussing why business outcomes, secure data access, low-latency infrastructure, governance and storage architecture are becoming the real differentiators as organizations try to operationalize AI at scale.

NetApp MetroCluster in Action: How WWT Powers the Advanced Technology Center

WWT's Advanced Technology Center runs one of the most demanding lab environments in the industry — 30,000+ VMs, 1,000 simultaneous on-demand labs, and continuous proof-of-concept work for customers and partners. In this video, Systems Architect Shawn Harvick walks through the installation of WWT's 5th generation of NetApp storage: the AFF A1K with MetroCluster IP. Joined by pre-sales architects Dale Darby and John Lochausen, the team shares why WWT has standardized on NetApp for over a decade — and what synchronous replication, zero RPO, and near-zero RTO mean in a real production environment. When WWT recommends a solution, it's because we've validated it ourselves. Come see what's possible at the ATC.

NetApp Data Protection

In today's business environment, data is the operational backbone of every organization, and the cost of losing access to it even briefly can be catastrophic. Ransomware, unplanned outages, regulatory mandates, and the pressure to accelerate application development have made data protection one of the most urgent conversations happening in every customer account. What separates NetApp ONTAP from every other platform in this conversation is a fully integrated, storage-native data protection stack that works together by design no third-party tools, no patchwork solutions. Snapshot technology delivers near-instantaneous recovery points that serve as the foundation for everything else. SnapMirror extends those recovery points across data centers and into the cloud for disaster recovery with RPOs in minutes and zero downtime with SnapMirror Business Continuity. SnapVault turns that same efficiency into long-term backup that eliminates legacy tape and backup software complexity. SnapLock adds immutability to satisfy regulatory compliance while hardening against ransomware. And FlexClone creates instant, writable, space-efficient copies that accelerate dev and test without adding infrastructure cost. Together, these capabilities make NetApp a single platform conversation covering business continuity, compliance, and operational agility and that is exactly what we are here to explore today.

NetApp Data Mobility using FlexCache

In today's distributed enterprise, data proximity is performance. NetApp FlexCache is a native ONTAP caching technology that creates read-optimized volumes closer to where users and workloads actually live — whether that's a remote office, edge site, or cloud region — without replicating the full dataset. The result is dramatically reduced latency, lower WAN bandwidth consumption, and a seamless experience for end users who never know the data isn't local. For customers struggling with slow file access across geographically dispersed locations, or trying to accelerate high-performance compute workloads without the cost of full data duplication, FlexCache delivers enterprise-grade performance where it's needed most — at a fraction of the infrastructure overhead.

Observability using NetApp Data Infrastructure Insights (DII)

NetApp Data Infrastructure Insights delivers business value by transforming infrastructure operations from reactive firefighting into proactive, intelligence-driven management. By providing a single unified view across on-premises storage, virtualization, Kubernetes, SAN fabrics, and cloud environments, DII eliminates the fragmented, multi-tool monitoring that slows incident response and obscures root cause. Its AI/ML engine automatically baselines behavior, detects anomalies, correlates configuration changes to performance events, and maps workload relationships from application down to array reducing mean time to root cause identification by up-to 50%. On the capacity side, days-to-full forecasting and waste identification help organizations defer unnecessary hardware purchases and achieve 33% higher storage utilization from existing assets. For business leaders, this translates directly into fewer unplanned outages, lower operational costs, more predictable infrastructure spend, and Infrastructure teams that spend less time in war rooms and more time on strategic work.

NetApp Cyber Resilience Briefing

Ransomware and insider threats are no longer edge cases, they are operational certainties. Cyber resilience can no longer be bolted on after the fact. It must be architected into the data infrastructure itself. The partnership between World Wide Technology (WWT) and NetApp with WWT's integration expertise deliver a resilience architecture, one designed to detect threats earlier, contain blast radius, and restore clean data with precision and confidence. This briefing is organized into three focused modules. Organizations can explore each capability independently or follow the complete arc to understand how they converge into a unified cyber resilience strategy aligned to operational, regulatory, and business continuity requirements.
