EDITOR’S QUESTION Therefore, it should be able to: • Your on-premises data centre, private and public cloud resources, and workloads are tied together under common data management while staying distinct. • You can connect existing systems running on traditional architectures that run business-critical applications or contain sensitive data that might not be suited for the public cloud. • Eliminate ‘walled gardens’ through application and services compatibility: Your data centre should be able to function with public cloud velocity in a multi-cloud environment with consistent management and rapid deployment. • Same tool for every cloud: Do more with the same tool. Stop wasting valuable time learning new tools. NetApp’s common control plane saves time with a consistent experience that makes it easy to deploy and manage any cloud you choose. • Seamless experience from on- premises to public cloud and back: You decide, develop and deploy your applications on the cloud of your choice. Easily move workloads across clouds to meet business needs. WHERE APPLICATIONS OR DATA LIVE TODAY MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST PLACE FOR THEM TO LIVE OVER TIME. Taking those benefits into consideration, NetApp’s disaggregated hybrid cloud infrastructure are enabled by a data fabric, which uses a software-defined approach to provide a common set of data services across any combination of IT resources. This allows independent scaling of compute and storage, adapting to workloads with guaranteed performance, reduce costs with unified data orchestration and integration across public, private and on- premises environments. “ www.intelligentcio.com
