NetApp, the global vendor delivering solutions for managing data in cloud environments, has become a technology partner of DHPA – the Dutch Hosting Provider Association representing the largest Dutch hosting and cloud providers. NetApp offers high-end solutions for cloud storage in the hybrid or public cloud and everything in between.
Oscar Wijnants, Country Director for the Netherlands at NetApp, notes that Dutch hosting and cloud service providers have relied on NetApp for years to help their customers get the most out of their stored data. “Now that our customers can gain a competitive advantage with the smarter use of data, it was a logical step to join to the DHPA.
In this new phase, NetApp can support members of the DHPA with new ways of (collaborating) and applications for cloud, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT). Through their network, experience but especially “innovative power”, NetApp can be a reliable supplier for many service providers.
The Dutch team of NetApp has years of experience in designing and building “cost-effective” solutions for IT and data services aimed at service and hosting providers in the Netherlands.
