NetApp, the data authority for hybrid cloud, today announces the integration of its industry-leading All Flash Storage Array (AFF) Series into leading motorcycle manufacturer Ducati’s information technology (IT) environment.

NetApp’s industry-wide, top-performing enterprise all-flash array was chosen to transform Ducati’s data management capabilities as the company embarks on its digital transformation journey. By leveraging NetApp’s cloud-connected flash and data services, Ducati is able to modernize infrastructure, bolster compliance, strengthen performance and ensure business continuity during the transformation process.

Ducati is a leading manufacturer of specially designed motorcycles that are characterized by high-performance Desmodromic engines, innovative design, and cutting-edge technology.It was founded in 1926 to provide an exciting sports riding experience to its customers. As a data driven company, Ducati partners with NetApp to access and analyze a vast amount of data to apply throughout the business, including logistics, marketing and customer relationship management, in addition to racing data Ducati can use to optimize performance.

“We closely collaborated with Ducati’s IT team to understand its need for a cutting-edge data management infrastructure,” said Fadi Kanafani, Senior Director Middle East & Africa at NetApp. “The NetApp AFF series immediately overhauls Ducati’s data management and storage to build a powerful, modern IT infrastructure. The solution aids the IT team in critical decision making and implementing operational efficiency in bike production and other business areas.”

Through the new NetApp AFF data management system, Ducati can now easily manage about 200 applications and over 300 terabyte of data to grant reliable real-time access to the world’s fastest enterprise all-flash storage from anywhere in the world, across multiple clouds, with full GDPR compliance.

“Our new flash systems will allow us to guarantee a quicker response to every business instance as well as increasing the speed of our prototyping and go-to-market,” said Stefano Rendina, IT manager of Ducati Corse.

“Using data management solutions with integrated data protection and disaster recovery design helped us to face our development without duplicating our efforts,” said Konstantin Kostenarov, CTO of Ducati Motor Holding. “And it allows Ducati IT to focus on our business priorities: the future, both in racing and in production.”

NetApp AFF A700 will be showcased at this year’s GITEX Technology Week as part of NetApp’s participation in the event at the Dubai World Trade Centre from October 14 to 18, 2018. The NetApp exhibition booth will be located at stand C6-20 in hall 6.
