NetApp revealed 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.
“Enterprise technology is rapidly shifting to consumption-based and hybrid cloud models, creating a unique growth opportunity for the service provider industry,” said Fadi Kanafani, Regional Director Middle East & Africa 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.”
Carrenza 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. “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” said Matthew McGrory, MD of Carrenza.
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. “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” said Kevin Pillay, Director of Technology, Internet Solutions.
