NetApp (NASDAQ:NTAP) today announced the expansion of its
Fueled by NetApp program, designed to help drive growth for service
providers who are helping their customers on the path to digital
transformation. With this announcement, service providers gain
access to new consulting and incubator programs, as well as new
efficiency guarantees and increased training.

continue to deliver go-to-market solutions with scale-out,
guaranteed performance, automated management, data assurance, and
global efficiencies. In addition to this, NetApp will now
offer:
- Extended complementary product management consultancy services
for the full NetApp® product and solution portfolio with
experienced service provider industry experts
- NetApp Cloud Incubator Program, which provides easy access to
storage resources for cloud and hosting startups, allowing a focus
on solution engineering and delivery rather than the heavy costs
associated with infrastructure build-outs
- Training partnerships with live, instructor-led technology
guidance and industry-leading product marketing and management
certification support specific to NetApp
- Increase in investment for co-marketing and solution
development to drive more significant service provider go-to-market
activities
- Efficiency guarantees on the SolidFire® storage platform to
offer a more predictable cost model
“Enterprise technology is rapidly shifting to consumption-based
and hybrid cloud models, creating a unique growth opportunity for
the service provider industry,” said Brett Roscoe, vice president
of Product, Solutions, and Services Marketing at NetApp. “Our
Fueled by NetApp program addresses this digital transformation with
a tailored approach with a clear go-to-market consultancy for
service providers designed to drive business growth while reducing
risk.”
Achieving ResultsCarrenza, a global cloud
service company, turned to NetApp and implemented the
market-leading NetApp SolidFire all-flash block storage system to
increase the agility and responsiveness of its cloud
infrastructure. “Our customers depend on us to deliver a
high-performance infrastructure that never goes down,” said Matthew
McGrory, managing director of Carrenza. “The Fueled by NetApp
consulting team provided us valuable market insights and
intelligence that helped us figure out our flash storage strategy
in a way that we have not experienced from any other storage
company.”
Internet Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dimension Data
and part of NTT, is a pan-African telecom and cloud service
provider providing end-to-end telco and cloud services to its
customers. “We evaluated a number of leading storage vendors, and
NetApp SolidFire came out on top in terms of performance, risk,
licensing, cost, and modular scalability,” said Kevin Pillay,
director of technology, Internet Solutions. “The Fueled by NetApp
team provided training and go-to-market consulting and offered best
practice cost modeling around pricing and productization of the
SolidFire system in a way that we were not expecting. It really
helped Internet Solutions to shape our flash storage strategy.”
