DarkMatter and NetApp have announced a partnership to jointly develop and deliver secure data storage and big data analytics solutions.<\/p>\n
With regional government and enterprise users increasingly looking to leverage big data analytics to drive business and operational improvements, large public and private cloud data storage solutions are required, which not only integrate seamlessly with their business processes, but also demonstrate the highest levels of security and cyber threat mitigation.<\/p>\n
With advanced persistent threats on the rise both globally and in this region, security is particularly urgent in the data environment, all the more so given the regular announcements of increasingly large and damaging data breaches across industries.<\/p>\n
Through this agreement, customers in the Middle East will benefit from DarkMatter\u2019s implementation of resource-efficient and scalable NetApp technologies that quickly ingest and analyse data, thereby empowering end-users with actionable insights in a predictable and efficient manner. These advantages are combined with DarkMatter\u2019s recognised expertise in cutting-edge cyber security implementation and systems integration.<\/p>\n
In the future, regional customers will enjoy the fruits of new collaboration between the two companies\u2019 respective research and development labs. DarkMatter and NetApp software engineers and developers will work on multiple flash and data storage technologies with the goal of delivering innovative, highly secure, high performance cyber security defence and big data analytics solutions.<\/p>\n
Commenting on the partnership, Rabih Dabboussi, Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Business Development of DarkMatter said, \u201cIn today\u2019s world, big data analytics is vital to business success. By working together, DarkMatter and NetApp are helping our customers solve two of today\u2019s biggest operational challenges: deriving actionable business insights from big data and keeping that data safe.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe see great value for end users through this partnership, which reflects an alignment of our shared approach to data security and risk management, innovation and technical excellence,\u201d added Rabih.<\/p>\n

\u201cOrganisations across the region are adopting a data driven approach and there is strong emphasis on the requirement for resilient and compliant data protection solutions that safeguard business-critical applications. Together with Dark Matter, we are looking at developing effective and secure solutions that enable enterprises to envision, deploy, and evolve their IT environments,\u201d said Fadi Kanafani,<\/strong> Regional Director for Middle East and Africa at NetApp.<\/p>\n The two companies have already begun work on specific areas of shared research interest, as well as a solutions framework to address the unique requirements of regional customers \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" DarkMatter and NetApp have announced a partnership to jointly develop and deliver secure data storage and big data analytics solutions.
