NetApp CEO George Kurian said investments this year will revolve around cloud storage to drive simplicity and value for customers and their data.
“We will prioritize this across every aspect of our portfolio, including our flash storage product and our first-party cloud storage offerings with AWS, Azure and Google Cloud,” said Kurian. “We also are executing on an opportunity to improve data center economics and sustainability with the industry’s most comprehensive cloud integrated capacity flash products.”
