At NetApp Insight 2025, Stephen Foskett sits down with Tony Chidiac, who leads NetApp’s AI go-to-market efforts, to explore how the new AFX storage array and AI Data Engine are transforming enterprise AI adoption. Chidiac explains that while many organizations are still developing their AI strategies, customers are increasingly seeing real ROI from practical inferencing and fine-tuning use cases. With AFX’s disaggregated, scalable architecture delivering unmatched performance for massive AI workloads, and the AI Data Engine adding intelligence, governance, and accessibility across structured and unstructured data, NetApp is enabling enterprises to unlock the full value of their proprietary data. Together, these solutions make it possible to discover, classify, and activate data securely across hybrid and multicloud environments — giving organizations the foundation to power next-generation AI and analytics applications.
