edge-to-core-to-cloud scalability to create new solutions that
enable companies to access, analyze and derive insights from data
that sits across multiple platforms and multiple clouds.
"We're pleased to announce our strategic relationship with
NetApp to help customers solve some of their most pressing data and
IT challenges," said Elly Keinan,
Group President, Kyndryl. "The combination of our respective
expertise and technology leadership will enable companies in all
industries to transition more and more of their critical
applications to the cloud, while driving valuable insights from
their unstructured data across IT modernization."
The companies will combine their respective expertise, based on
over 15 years of collaborating to provide best-of-breed solutions,
to develop innovative solutions that help customers more
efficiently and effectively manage, analyze and optimize their data
to inform and drive important business decisions.
"Increasingly the ability to manage and analyze large amounts of
unstructured data in concert with traditional structured data is a
key enabler of data-driven business transformation. NetApp's
strategic partnership with Kyndryl enables joint delivery of
critical data infrastructure services that will accelerate future
innovation and business impact for customers and fast track cloud
adoption," said George Kurian, CEO,
NetApp. "This momentum and collective success within key industries
made it clear it was time to elevate our relationship with Kyndryl
and work together on solutions that address similar challenges in
other data-centric market segments."

infrastructure-as-a-service solutions to provide customers greater
flexibility, versatility and value from the use of
unstructured information and help companies derive business value
from their data.
