By now you've probably heard a little about some of the great features in the clustered Data ONTAP 8.2® operating system. In this issue, our 8.2 technical guru takes you deeper into the release with a detailed look at several new features and what they mean for you and your data center.

An article from Vaughn Stewart explains how NetApp and clustered Data ONTAP are breaking new ground on the path to software-defined storage (SDS) and accelerating the delivery of storage services to applications and development teams.

Tech OnTap® will be taking some time off in July to enjoy the summer. See you again in August.
