We take pride in our heritage at NetApp. Our heritage is rooted in developing innovative solutions that address the challenges of storing, managing, and protecting data in a complex IT environment. From pioneering the NetApp® WAFL® file system to providing a first-party cloud-native storage service with NetApp Cloud Volumes and NetApp Astra™ Trident—one of the first open-source storage orchestrators for containers and Kubernetes distributions—our heritage is built on innovation. We’re leaders in providing cutting-edge solutions that empower companies to transform their businesses.
Although generative AI (genAI) is the new kid on the block, businesses have been using predictive AI for years to improve financial forecasting, detect financial fraud by identifying anomalies, and find the most successful treatments for high-risk patients in healthcare. We know because we’ve been helping customers achieve these AI-driven outcomes. However, genAI goes beyond mere pattern recognition, employing advanced modeling techniques to produce fresh, original content.
Regardless of whether you believe genAI is overhyped or underhyped, it has the potential to reshape industries, revolutionize how businesses operate, and enhance our lives. With the right tools, individuals can unleash their creativity. Marketing professionals can use genAI to create high-quality video content from simple text; AI-powered music enables artists to craft full audio tracks from prompts like genre, lyrics, or inspirational artists. The applications of AI are vast, diverse, and still growing.
All these applications are made possible by one thing: data. Current innovations are rapidly improving these foundation models by using customers’ private data to provide better context or to fine-tune an existing model and make better decisions. But when adopting AI, organizations can struggle to effectively manage and extract value from their ever-growing volumes of data that are scattered and unstructured. At NetApp, we tackle this challenge head-on with an intelligent data infrastructure.
The NetApp intelligent data infrastructure gives you the ability to access any data from any location, maintaining data security, protection, and governance. Our adaptive operations aim to maximize the performance and efficiency of both infrastructure and applications while focusing on cost-effectiveness and sustainability. Together, these capabilities can enhance the productivity of AI workers and help you achieve more successful outcomes for your business.
AI projects need an intelligent data infrastructure

However, our dedication to AI extends beyond technology. We believe in the power of partnership to drive innovation and accelerate AI adoption across industries. We collaborate closely with industry leaders like NVIDIA and Google to co-create AI solutions that tackle real-world challenges and deliver tangible business value. For instance, with our genAI toolkit for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) operations, you can implement RAG operations by connecting proprietary data stored on NetApp volumes with Google’s Vertex AI for faster access to unique insights.
Our heritage: Being at the forefront of technology advancements
The potential of AI is limitless, and at NetApp, we’re excited to be at the forefront of this transformative journey. By combining our intelligent data management expertise with the power of AI, we empower organizations to unlock new possibilities, drive growth, and shape a better, more intelligent future for all.
