Soundbytes #014: A Conversation with NetApp Founder Dave Hitz

20 November 2017 by Chris Evans

This podcast was recorded at NetApp Insight in Berlin on 15 November 2017.  Chris talks to Dave Hitz, founder of NetApp Inc.  The conversation is fairly free flowing, covering a general discussion on data management, NetApp’s positioning with Azure NFS and how we can expect to see hybrid cloud work in the future.  You’ll notice there’s no discussion on any hardware products at all and little product discussion of any kind.

This conversation could have continued for hours (and in fact we did continue off-air), but we kept it to 20 minutes.

Elapsed Time: 00:19:05
