We have heard from a source within the community NetApp February 19 is the day the new FAS8000 array pokes his head into the open.
There are no details about the configuration: NetApp customers also control a field goal, which the vultures do not have access too, apparently said information is embargoed until 19 February.
What they do is a table that rates NetApp is changing:
NetApp is changing the way it presents storage prices. Instead of a single item in the package, you will now see two lines: a load of storage and an operating cost of certification.
This change supports our ongoing commitment to offer prices that are clear, consistent and competitive by making it easier for customers to distinguish the unique value they receive from our storage operating software.
The first products to reflect this change will be the FAS8000 series system and the EF -Series E5400, E5500 and. Additional storage for all products will pass to this practice in the second quarter of 2014. Products that are already maintained FAS transport current pricing.
This separation value of Data ONTAP software which is linked with the notion of a set of data as a universal platform NetApp CBT , a storage layer of abstraction for controlling customers ‘ access to the data matrix on-premise FAS in V – serial number of thirds of composition for remote offices through ONTAP as a VM – ESX or Hyper- V Server or DAS commodity hardware monitoring, making it a virtual matrix – and as a matrix in public clouds. In the latter case, both Amazon Azure and have been suggested as possible compatible environments. Data ONTAP everywhere life is the level of access to it.
You may also have the ability to federate on site and consulting with public cloud ONTAP and move data and workloads, which means VM ONTAP between instances in different environments between cloud and on-premise and cloud ONTAP , using the concept of universal data container .
Jay Kidd, NetApp classes SVP and CTO, outlined this vision in September, saying:
- NetApp will further integrate its software into existing and forthcoming private cloud, large-scale public cloud, and hyperscale cloud service provider solutions to help organisations optimise IT delivery and harness the speed, flexibility, and economics of the public cloud.
- NetApp will utilise its universal data container to make it easier to move data and workloads across instances of Data ONTAP in a multicloud environment, boosting IT efficiency and enabling new, and innovative hybrid cloud architectures.
- NetApp allows customers to move data and workloads with ease across all instances of Data ONTAP in a multicloud environment. … technology for “on-the-fly” hypervisor translation as workloads travel across disparate environments. This technology will complement an existing product portfolio for data transport that includes SnapMirror technology … data replication software.
- NetApp will continue to provide an extensive array of customer choices for hybrid cloud operations while avoiding competition with its ecosystem of public cloud service provider partners.
NetApp supports:
- all major cloud operating environments,
- virtualization frameworks,
- application deployment models,
- cloud management solutions.
- In the upcoming months, the company will announce integrations with flagship providers in each of these key areas, including new contributions to OpenStack and CloudStack, and new partnerships with large-scale hyperscale cloud service providers.We were told last week by John Rollason, NetApp’s study material EMEA director of products, solutions and alliances marketing: “I can’t comment on specific future plans.”
