NetApp CEO and Director George Kurian remains confident that his company provides the best storage solution in the era of hybrid IT, despite tough competition from VMware and the new behemoth Dell-EMC.
“What customers really want is to bridge the world of enterprise IT with the world of cloud IT. We started that journey four years ago, well before these transactions were created, building a solution set called Data Fabric,” Kurian told Channel Company CEO Bob Faletra during the IT Best of Breed Conference in Atlanta.
“I think VMware’s solution being deployed on Amazon is essentially an endorsement of our view, albeit four years after we started it,” he added.
