The primary storage landscape has changed drastically over the last three years. The mass adoption of flash storage, the movement of workloads to the cloud and the emergence of new fabric technologies with NVMe are all trends that are reshaping how we go about selecting primary storage in the data center.

This briefing is beneficial for customers wanting to learn about the various storage-as-a-service (STaaS) OEM offerings. Our team can help compare and contrast the different operating models from Dell, NetApp, Pure Storage, Hitachi, HPE, and IBM.

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.

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.
