Neocloud inference is expanding storage demand
Neocloud providers are building customer-facing AI inference services that require high-availability, secure, scalable infrastructure. The vendor displacement also signals active competition for AI data-center deployments.
NetApp secured a significant win with an Asian Neocloud provider, supplying high availability, secure, and scalable storage for new customer-facing AI services. Our robust multi-tenancy and deep expertise in large-scale Kubernetes and OpenStack environments set us apart, helping the provider to modernize its infrastructure and support demanding AI inference workloads. This win displaced existing vendors and established a strong foundation for NetApp in one of the provider's most strategic AI initiatives.
