Data is priceless and must become the lifeblood of any organization for them to survive. Today’s digital business can’t operate without it. Digital transformation remains top of mind for executives. The ability to serve customers, to explore new markets, to create new products and services, and to optimize operations is directly linked to an organization’s ability to leverage data. No matter where it is.

Together with NetApp^®, ePlus (NASDAQ: PLUS) helps organizations optimize this valuable asset. Using NetApp technology, ePlus creates innovative solutions to help accelerate data driven digital transformation around the client’s own data fabric. The company’s experienced engineers help clients architect, build, and manage a multi-cloud environment that will provide seamless access to their data and enable them to deliver better business outcomes.

ePlus and NetApp assist clients in identifying their data fabric components by simplifying the integration and orchestration of data services across the choice of clouds: Private or Public. Together ePlus and NetApp provides capabilities to: discover resources; integrate disparate data services; automate operations; optimize the fabric over time; and protect and secure data everywhere. Using NetApp ONTAP^™, ePlus’ NetApp-certified cloud architects can help clients build a high-performing cloud-connected all-flash infrastructure to do just that.

Further, with VMware NSX Data Center^™and SD-WAN by VeloCloud^™, clients can implement a secure, high-performing virtualized network that enables them to increase their speed to market for new services and reduce tension between the business and IT. Once their data center has been optimized for current needs, now they need to support growth by adding new capabilities to the current environment.

Next-generation technology allows clients to realize the speed, scale, and performance of the cloud within your own IT landscape. NetApp Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure (HCI) allows for next-generation scalability and frictionless consumption with solutions engineered by ePlus data center experts.

Clients can rely on ePlus to assist in creating the right solution to drive high performance and faster deployment of data across Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform, as well as their Private Cloud landscape with NetApp Data Driven technologies.
