- NetApp, Inc. is a leading data infrastructure company specializing in unified data storage, integrated data services, and cloud operations solutions for enterprise customers globally. Founded in 1992 and headquartered in San Jose, California, NetApp provides a comprehensive portfolio of products including cloud data services, data storage software, all-flash and hybrid flash storage arrays, converged systems, data infrastructure management tools, and data security solutions under its ONTAP software platform. Its product categories span enterprise-grade storage systems like the AFF A-Series and FAS systems, cloud volumes and hybrid cloud data services, AI-optimized infrastructure with Lenovo ThinkSystem and Nvidia integration, and data backup and ransomware recovery solutions. The company’s services support diverse industries with a focus on enabling seamless management of data across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
In the last two years, NetApp has strategically evolved by divesting its FinOps business, Spot, to Flexera in early 2025 to sharpen its focus on intelligent data infrastructure and long-term growth areas. In 2024 and 2025, NetApp launched new product lines including the AFF A-Series storage arrays optimized for high-performance and AI workloads, introduced AI-driven features in its FlexPod converged systems, and began Nvidia certification for advanced AI infrastructure integrations. NetApp also enhanced its portfolio with new mid-range and high-end hybrid flash storage arrays, alongside expanding hybrid cloud capabilities through deepened partnerships such as with Red Hat for containerized application management. Additionally, it restructured leadership roles to support stronger collaboration and execution across its expanding data infrastructure offerings.
NetApp operates predominately in the information technology sector with a global footprint supporting enterprises across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and beyond. The company focuses on delivering intelligent data infrastructure solutions that power AI innovation, cloud modernization, hybrid data environments, and cybersecurity resilience. Its established market position is underpinned by continuous innovation in storage technologies, integrated cloud and AI services, and strategic alliances that enhance its hybrid multi-cloud ecosystem. NetApp’s legacy as Network Appliance transitioned to the current brand in 2008, and it maintains its status as a key player in enterprise data management and infrastructure solutions worldwide.
