#NetApp just wrapped up its fiscal year 2016 with a drop in revenue and earnings the company attributed to a shift in its solutions mix from its more mature technologies to high-growth areas including flash storage and its Clustered #Ontap operating system.
Even as it experiences this shift, the company is facing the prospect of becoming the leading independent storage vendor once #Dell closes its planned acquisition of storage leader #EMC. While some might call that acquisition a new source of pressure on a company like NetApp, which is seeing its storage business shrink, NetApp CEO George Kurian sees this as an opportunity, especially when it comes to the potential benefits of a stronger relationship with #Cisco, which is both a Dell rival and an EMC partner.
Kurian took time to discuss with CRN these issues and more, including why NetApp has not made a big splash in the hyper-converged infrastructure market.
