EDITOR'S NOTE Back in December, NetApp VP Lee Caswell called 2016 “The Year of Simplicity in IT.” He was incredibly accurate, and NetApp is proving it out. This month we look at how to simplify your storage configuration through clustered Data ONTAP automation. Our Storage Services team saved much time and reduced disruptions in the process. We also examine how to take the complexity out of flash decisions by prioritizing your workload applications, with a chart showing how our portfolio fits. And finally, Tim Russell, our VP of Product Management, discusses why a global ecosystem of security partners is vital to your IT strategy. Thanks for being part of the ToT community. — Stan Johnston, Managing Editor
