NetApp is set to throw the spotlight on the latest range of cloud and next-generation data centre solutions at GITEX starting today at Booth No. CLD 21 in Hall No. 6. The company focused solutions include cloud, hyper converged infrastructure, flash, software-defined storage, and Data Analytics.
NetApp will also showcase its solutions along with its partners such as Bosch, Splunk, NEC and Amazon Web Services (AWS) during the week long show. The company expects its presence at GITEX will serve as a key platform to present its latest innovations in data management.
Fadi Kanafani, regional director for MEA at NetApp said, “GITEX remains a key platform to deliver our overall strategy as it enables us to increase more awareness of our solutions across various audiences, which in turn, can help in growing our market share. The exciting five-day event will give us the key opportunity to reinforce our thought leadership in cloud and flash for the MENA region while also allowing us to interact with customers, distributors and of course the media.”
Products and services to be placed on exhibition will include NetApp HCI, which is the world’s first enterprise-scale hyper converged infrastructure solution. Built on SolidFire innovation, NetApp HCI gives enterprises, mid-sized businesses, and service providers the confidence to easily consolidate all workloads, scale in ways that won’t strand resources, and deliver the performance required by next-generation applications.
The company will also highlight its new FlexPod SF solution, which offers an ideal infrastructure for the data-intensive scale-out workloads that are critical to digital transformation. This new solution can support enterprise and emerging architectures with precise storage capacity and performance tailored to the needs of individual tenants in multitenant environments.
NetApp will also be showcasing the EF570 all-flash system, which is a 4th generation all-flash array that has been specifically designed for performance-intensive workloads. Lastly, the NetApp E5700 series hybrid-flash system will be shown, which supports 100Gb NVMe over InfiniBand and helps accelerate performance while also increasing density with a hybrid-flash system that is perfectly suited for modern enterprise applications.
Kanafani further added, “We also look towards attracting the best talent to help us build a strong team to address customers’ needs and position NetApp as one of the best places to work for in the region,”
Visitors of the NetApp GITEX booth will get the chance to take a 4D rollercoaster ride. They put on 3D glasses, and take a seat in the hydraulic chair, even augmenting the 3D experience. Every participant will receive a video of his/her ride that can be shared via social media.
