Q&A: Channel Chief Bill Lipsin On NetApp's Plans For SolidFire's Channel -- And Beer

#NetApp 's acquisition of all-flash storage vendor #SolidFire gave it a scalable flash storage solution to complement NetApp's original All Flash FAS enterprise and EF high-performance flash storage offerings.

But SolidFire is more than technology. The flash storage-focused startup brought to NetApp a channel-only sales focus that Bill Lipsin, NetApp's vice president of global channels, said can teach his company a thing or two about simplicity.

Lipsin also told CRN he is looking forward to trying beer made by a SolidFire channel exec who also happens to be a master brewer.
