🚀 This week on the Tech ONTAP Podcast: We’re talking all things StorageGRID 12.0 — and this release is a game changer for AI and data-driven workloads.

We are joined by Vishnu Vardhan and Morgan Mears to unpack how StorageGRID is evolving into an AI-ready object storage powerhouse.

Here’s what’s new in StorageGRID 12.0 👇 

💾 Bucket Branches – Think Git for data. Instantly create space-efficient dataset copies for AI/ML training, testing, and version control. 

⚡ Caching Load Balancers – Bring data closer to compute with up to 1.2PB of local cache for high-performance AI pipelines. 

📈 Scalability & Smarter Metadata – Handle hundreds of billions of objects with ease. 

☁️ Flexible Deployment – Run StorageGRID your way: appliance, container, or virtualized.

Whether you’re building data lakes, training large language models, or managing global datasets, StorageGRID 12.0 helps you scale with performance, simplicity, and efficiency.

Ep 407 - NetApp StorageGRID 12.0

Data it's one of a modern organisations most crucial assets.

With that in mind, how do we build a strategy that meets todays data challenges, how do we make sure we have a strategy not only ensures we can store our data on a resilient and secure platform, but also that we can take advantage of new data trends, like analytics, IoT and public cloud storage.

In this weeks episode I discuss this with NetApp A-Team member Mark Carlton, we look at how NetApp's data fabric strategy can help you to plan, develop and deploy a solution suitable for a modern organisations data needs.

We not only discuss NetApp's implementation but also how the fabric has grown beyond a NetApp centric view and how 3rd party tools from the likes of Varonis, Veritas and Veeam are integrated, making your data management solution more insightful, more complete.
