NetApp says its intelligent data infrastructure platform can make legacy enterprise data usable for AI where it already resides, without rebuilding infrastructure or moving data, according to senior vice president of product marketing Jen Prenner. Its unified approach supports file, block and object storage across cloud, edge and on-premises environments; the company also plans a fully managed storage service on Oracle Cloud within the next 12 months and combines data protection with Console management.
