NetApp originated in 1992 as Network Appliance and became known for its NAS solutions. Although revenues increased, it lost storage array market share to competitors like Huawei and Lenovo. The company has transitioned into offering flash-powered block storage with all-flash SAN arrays and cloud services. Unique among providers, NetApp operates across all three major hyperscaler clouds and has adopted flexible storage purchasing through its Keystone model. Key acquisitions over the years have enhanced its capabilities in clustered NAS, object storage, flash arrays, and cloud cost optimization services.
NetApp, founded in 1992, became synonymous with network-attached storage (NAS) and gained patents after Auspex Systems ceased operations in 2003.
The company has diversified into flash-powered block storage, including all-flash SAN arrays and is the only storage supplier present in all three hyperscaler clouds.
