@AirVentInc How do you open the thermostat for the PowerCool Plus 15? Do you need to pry it open with a screwdriver??

#netappchat A8 - They will be required to manage more capacity with less head count. Workflow Automation and Orchestration are critical.

A7 We need to provide the storage infrastructure that will allow customers to the flexibility to move in/out of the cloud #netappchat

A7. Customers will be moving to the cloud. Maybe not ALL apps, but they will be moving some. #netappchat

@ajbergh #netapphat. A6 . BINGO. A lot of customers don't understand their current workloads.

Consistent and predicatable response times. #netappchat

That is why Non-disruptive operations (NDO) is a key focus with Clustered Data ONTAP. #netappchat

Storage outages are not tolerated...PERIOD. In a shared infrastructure, the impact is not just to one app.... EVERYONE suffers. #netappchat

"On-Demand" Virtual Storage Tiering also keep the most "active" data closest to the CPU. No policies to manage. #netappchat

NetApp offers QoS policies that will throttle specific applications from consuming resources from the business critical apps. #netappchat

Biggest concern. How will by business crit apps not get impacted by "other" workloads in a shared storage infrastructure? #netappchat

#netappchat A3. SAP uses NetApp for software development and leverage the cloning technologies that NetApp provides.

#netappchat Allow applications to migrate to/from private cloud to public cloud. "Storage in the Cloud". communities.netapp.com/community/neta…

@furrier #netappchat Non-disruptive upgrades to the storage environment. Never take the applications offline to change/upgrade/install.

@furrier #netappchat Customers are looking to virtualize whenever possible. Moving to a consolidated storage infrastructure is critical.

A lot of customers are trying to see if vitualized environment will be able to handle the biz critical applications.

#netappchat test

@jasoneknight glad to hear it.

@jasoneknight How are the broken bones?

Ted, I could not agree more. The "anything goes " value system in our society leads to moral decay and we are witnessing this every day
