Interactive to add NetApp tech to its portfolio

Australian IT service provider Interactive has arranged to offer solutions from NetApp to enhance the way customers manage their storage through IT management platform Interactive Anywhere. Under the arrangement, Interactive will offer advanced storage solutions from NetApp as part of its portfolio of compute, network and database offerings.

NetApp will become an integral part of Interactive’s infrastructure suite. NetApp, which has 25 years’ experience serving the Australian market, offers solutions for enabling enterprises to build, manage and optimise hybrid and multi-cloud environments through secure and scalable storage offerings.

The Interactive Anywhere platform is designed to integrate into a customer’s existing processes, taking over management of data storage environments to free up customers to concentrate on strategic initiatives.

Interactive CTO Dan Cox welcomed the partnership with NetApp.

“This collaboration not only enhances our service offerings but also enables our clients to transform their IT expenses into more manageable operating costs,” he said. “We are committed to supporting our customers on their technology journey and helping them succeed in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.”

NetApp Australia and New Zealand Director of Partners and Distribution Stephen Persoglia said Interactive is an ideal partner.

“Interactive’s focus on holistic technology solutions that meet clients where they’re at on their technology journey, was a core motivator for us to work with them,” he said. “We can bring our seamless, dynamic and high-performing unified data storage, CloudOps capabilities and integrated data services to a wide range of clients, so they can focus on growing their businesses.”
