What team thinks that they are innovating something? Because I don't see anything

@4zuk+1lHtQjhE the on-prem storage market is pretty much saturated so when one talks about "growth" one is referring to market share moving from one vendor to another. Pure is taking market share from Netapp and that spells death for Netapp.
not one to defend NetApp for innovation but saying pure will exceed them just because they are growing is not a business strategy to bet on.
50% growth is easy when you are doing 100MIllion. that is 50mill growth.
50% growth of 500Million is 250million not to difficult
50% growth of 1billion is 500million and achievable
50% growth when you are doing 2Billion is 1Billion growth and maybe during a COVID event when people spend without due diligence happens but we are post COVID and those growths in this Joe Biden inflation economy is not happening organically.
The grown line is not perpetually linear.. At some point they will hit a saturation level and growth will taper off.
Who has time to innovate? You should be doing your job plus the jobs of the people we sh-t canned. Why are you wasting valuable time on this site? Get back to work, pleb. Papa GK needs a new boat.
Pretty funny a layoff board attracts NetApp fanbois. Yes, NetApp revenue is still higher than Pure, but the writing is on the wall. Since 2013 Pure revenue has been growing 50%/year. NetApp revenue is virtually the same now as it was in 2013. Zero growth over the last decade.
Well netapp is the king of cloud storage. If you disagree, please go ahead and explain who else is better.
AFF + ONTAP still sells well, though pure is taking a bite of that. Netapp is adapting to offer the same things of subscription based hardware upgrades.
End of the day, even if it’s still not the primary market, cloud is where the growth is and netapp is doing good here. Of course dinosaurs will always be talking how hardware is great.
NetApp is losing market share to Pure, Pure is growing and it's the future.
Grandpa Netapp is showing their age.
NetApp's architectures are stuck in the pre-cloud era. ONTAP made it's mark as an always-on "immortal" appliance. The only problem is - cloud does it better for the vast majority of workloads. Without the scale of cloud, NetApp has to build specialized hardware to mimic that availability. They are innovating, but most of the innovation is to adapt technologies to their architecture. Pure started from a clean sheet of paper and it is now paying dividends in market share. Investing in SSD building from raw NAND is going to give them the upper hand on QLC too unless NetApp reacts quickly.
Innovation and Netapp in the same sentence? Surely you jest!
