NetApp's strategy to transform enterprise data for AI workloads

The AI revolution requires enterprises to transform their data infrastructure, yet many struggle with inefficient pipelines, focusing on "data wrangling" over innovation. With six data copies per pipeline pass, data bloat hinders AI success.

NetApp emphasizes data awareness at the storage layer to make enterprise data AI-ready. Innovations include:

· ONTAP AFX architecture, separating compute from storage for optimized AI performance
· AI Data Engine for metadata management, synchronization, security, and transformation
· NVIDIA integration for a unified data model across hybrid and multi-cloud environments
