NetApp Insight points: A400 data reduction HW assist will probably spread across AFF/E-Series range. StorageGRID AFA is seriously good. Elements HCI use of MAX Data could be significant. NetApp QLC adoption in 2020 equally significant. It’s a vibrant company. #NetAppINSIGHT

Everyone is a trader. Some people trade time for a paycheck. Some people trade tuition for a degree. Some people trade risk for profits. Some trade happiness for security. Some trade principles for politics. Some trade ethics for cash. Everyone trades, few understand this.
