Episode 412 - Disaggregated ONTAP (aka NetApp AFX)
In this episode, Arindam Banerjee and Jeff Baxter join us to discuss disaggregated ONTAP, also known as AFX. We discuss how disaggregated ONTAP separates storage compute from storage capacity, allowing customers to scale performance and capacity independently. This architecture is designed for modern workloads such as AI, machine learning, EDA, media and entertainment, and large-scale unstructured data environments.

Episode 411 - NetApp Backup and Recovery: Modern Data Protection Made Simple
Backup isn’t just about copies anymore—it’s about resilience, efficiency, and simplicity at scale. From ransomware concerns to long-term retention and multi-cloud complexity, traditional backup approaches are struggling to keep up. In this episode of the Tech ONTAP Podcast, host Justin Parisi is joined by Manohar Kulkarni and Ebin Kadavy to explore how NetApp Backup and Recovery is redefining data protection with a modern, SaaS-based approach. In this episode, you’ll learn: • 🔐 How NetApp delivers secure 3-2-1 backup with long-term retention for databases, VMs, and NAS workloads • ☁️ Why a fully managed service eliminates upgrade headaches and reduces operational risk • ⚡ How snapshot-based backups provide faster RPO/RTO, space efficiency, and near-instant recovery • 🛡️ How security is built in with encryption, outbound-only connectivity, and ransomware-ready architecture • 📊 What visibility you get with dashboards, efficiency metrics, and scaling to 20,000+ VMs per agent • 🔄 How to migrate from SnapCenter with a seamless, one-click transition Whether you’re protecting enterprise databases, virtualized environments, or planning for long-term compliance, this episode breaks down how to simplify backup while improving performance and security.

Ep 410 - Why Data Movement Defines Hybrid & AI Success
When moving data into or out of the cloud, the real cost isn’t storage, but latency, egress fees, and lost flexibility. For instance, if you spin up AI workloads in one cloud and inference in another, what happens when your data can’t move fast enough to keep GPUs busy? What’s the cost? These are the challenges enterprises are running into right now as hybrid, multi-cloud, and AI architectures collide. On the latest Tech ONTAP Podcast, Justin Parisi is joined by Glenn Dekheyser (Equinix) to unpack why private interconnectivity and data movement are now as critical as storage and compute.

Episode 409 - Who Really Controls Your Data in the Age of AI?
As artificial intelligence reshapes cybersecurity, organizations are being forced to rethink data sovereignty, trust, and resilience. In this episode, we sit down with Adam Gale, Field CTO for Cybersecurity and AI at NetApp, to explore how AI, security, and geopolitics are colliding in today’s digital infrastructure. This conversation goes beyond theory to discuss real-world challenges and decisions organizations are facing right now. \In this episode, we cover: • How AI is being used in modern cybersecurity • Why “human in the loop” still matters for critical decisions • What data sovereignty really means—and why it’s not one-size-fits-all • The role of encryption and key ownership in protecting data • Real-world examples of dark sites, resilience, and infrastructure disruptions • Why trust and transparency are essential in security platforms With AI accelerating and regulations evolving worldwide, data sovereignty is no longer just a compliance issue—it’s becoming a strategic and board-level concern.

Episode 405 - NVIDIA SuperPod Updates - Fall 2025
We’re diving deep into AI at scale with NetApp experts Bobby Oomen and David Arnette. From NVIDIA SuperPod (think AI factories powering massive LLM training) to FlexPod solutions that bring inference into everyday enterprise workloads, we unpack what’s happening at the cutting edge of AI infrastructure. You’ll hear how NetApp and NVIDIA are collaborating to solve one of AI’s biggest challenges—data management—with tools like SnapMirror, FlexCache, and FlexClone. We also explore why inference is becoming just as important (if not more) than training, and what that shift means for enterprises looking to integrate AI into their operations. Whether you’re curious about NVIDIA Cloud Partner (NCP) offerings, KV cache innovations, or how Cisco and NetApp are pushing FlexPod into the AI era, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss. Tune in to learn how enterprises can scale AI securely, efficiently, and flexibly—with NetApp at the core.
