New Collaboration Between NetApp and Carahsoft Gives Government Agencies Access to NetApp’s Portfolio of Data Infrastructure Solutions
VIENNA, Va., and RESTON, Va. – September 19, 2024 – NetApp®, the intelligent data infrastructure company, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, today announced that Carahsoft has entered into a distributor agreement with NetApp to serve the U.S. Public Sector.

Organizations in the Public Sector strive for digital modernization. Agencies understand the need for easy and secure access to data-rich systems that enable fast decision making, accelerate processes and improve constituent experience. To achieve this transformation, a hybrid multicloud strategy – where cloud is fully integrated into an agency’s infrastructure and operations – is essential.
NetApp’s unique capabilities allow it to enhance the performance of its customers’ data infrastructure by combining unified data storage, integrated data services and CloudOps solutions. Organizations can leverage NetApp’s unified data storage to consolidate any data type, workload or application across diverse environments. Additionally, NetApp’s integrated data management software and services provide users with a consistent experience across on-premises and cloud environments. CloudOps solutions available from NetApp utilize AI-powered optimization to maximize the productivity and performance of data infrastructure, both in the cloud and on-premises.
“At NetApp, we are committed to providing organizations with the intelligent data infrastructure they need to run and scale high-performance workloads with simple management processes and strong data protections,” said Michelle Rudnicki, President, NetApp U.S. Public Sector, Inc. “By working with Carahsoft, we are furthering our joint mission to offer cost effective, innovative data storage solutions to Government agencies, supporting their efforts to unlock the full potential of the cloud and AI-powered technology.”
“We are excited to partner with NetApp to empower the Public Sector with the vital resources necessary to adapt to the constantly evolving landscape of technological advancement and digital transformation,” said Will Jones, Senior Vice President of MultiCloud Solutions at Carahsoft. “Alongside our reseller network, we are dedicated to equipping Government customers with the tools needed to adopt cloud integration and develop a sophisticated data infrastructure strategy.
