NetApp 称不必重建即可让遗留数据可用于 AI
在 NetApp INSIGHT 大会上，NetApp 阐述其“智能数据基础设施”策略，主张企业无需重新架构或搬迁数据，就能让遗留数据在文件、块和对象存储之间为 AI 所用。产品营销高级副总裁 Jen Prenner 表示，数据要“可访问、可治理、受保护、可用”，并称公司把数据保护内建于各层，同时扩大与 Commvault 的合作，其 Console 控制平面还支持本地（断云）部署。NetApp 还宣布计划在未来 12 个月内通过 Oracle 云基础设施推出全托管存储服务。
这反映出存储厂商正把“让现有数据直接服务 AI”当作卖点，试图在企业 AI 落地阶段保住基础设施预算，但成效仍需实际部署验证。
NetApp aims to make legacy data AI-ready without a rebuild
Enterprises sitting on decades of legacy information face a pressing question as artificial intelligence moves from pilots to production: Can that archive become AI-ready data without a costly rebuild of the infrastructure underneath it?
NetApp Inc. is betting it can answer that question with a platform that reaches well beyond its storage roots. The company is framing its intelligent data infrastructure strategy around a simple promise: Make data usable for AI where it already lives, according to Jen Prenner (pictured), senior vice president of product marketing at NetApp.
“For data to be usable for AI, it needs to be accessible, governed, protected, available,” Prenner said. “You need to be able to do that with all that data for your projects without re-architecting the data or moving it.”
