As many know, I have had a long time relationship with NetApp and have always been a huge fan of their technology.  Much of the automation that I have done for customers has in some way revolved around NetApp integration in some facet.  Recently, I have even open sourced some of my code to help other customer get the most out of NetApp in their environments.  I am excited and happy to announce that Exosphere is now a Consultant Partner with NetApp.  So what changes, you might ask?  Really, nothing.  I am still going to be an advocate for great technology and a proud member of the NetApp A-Team of advocates.  I will continue to look at all things automation and have the opportunity to help more of you with your solutions.  The benefit is now I will be able to continue some of the other cool integrations that I have planned and work with new groups within NetApp to implement them.  I am a consultant and advisor but a technologist at heart.  I am excited to take this relationship to the next level with NetApp.  Through the years, the one fact to stay true is the tech rocks!  For a guy like me, the tech is all that matters.
