Ronen Schwartz, senior vice president of NetApp Cloud Volumes Service, said: “Today’s enterprise organizations have begun to explore the promise of hybrid multi-cloud environments, and they do not want to be challenged in terms of complexity, security and cost-effectiveness. Simplified by NetApp management and consumption experience, organizations can enjoy greater security, manageability, operational speed and cost savings, ultimately enabling them to deliver better functionality by delivering functionality faster, keeping data available and secure anywhere to meet the growing needs of businesses.”
