NetApp AI Solution Center

Intelligent AI starts with intelligent data infrastructure.

Today’s AI doesn’t start with models. It starts with data. NetApp empowers organizations to operationalize AI through intelligent data infrastructure (IDI): a unified, secure and flexible foundation that enables data movement, governance, and performance from edge to core to cloud.

Whether you're deploying large language models (LLMs), inferencing workflows or Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), NetApp helps partners simplify AI adoption while dramatically reducing cost, risk and complexity.
