| | NOVEMBER 20206CIOReviewWhen we look at typical enterprise challenges and objectives, the need for unified storage architecture comes into the picture. Many data centers have grown organically over time. New storage systems have been dedicated to each new application, often neglecting the architecture that existed before. Today, there are many crucial trends in the industry as a whole, including growing interest in cloud computing and scale-out storage and the desire for a simplified network infrastructure. Ideally, any company's storage architecture should evolve to accommodate these trends without requiring disruptive changes to its entire operating environment. The NetApp unified storage architecture has been proven to evolve to support new capabilities. If truth be told since the Data ONTAP operating environment was first introduced in 1993, most of the enhancements that NetApp has added have been evolutionary--the company hasn't required users to discard what they have and start again. NetApp has a deep commitment to that philosophy, and its unified storage architecture will deliver on the promise of the latest industry trends in a similar fashion. Thus, NetApp and other organizations have been teaming up to deploy, maintain, and deliver leveraged, dedicated, and cloud environments for their customers around the world. In fact, such solution providers manage the storage environment for some of the largest NetApp customers. Together they help organizations unleash the full potential of their data to touch more customers, drive more innovation, and optimize operations.We hope that our readers can find their way forward with great agility, and a thorough understanding of what the NetApp realm has to offer.Let us know your thoughts!EditorialMaking Data Storage and Access ConvenientCopyright © 2020 ValleyMedia, Inc.
