SUNNYVALE, Calif. - June 03, 2014 - Rob Salmon, President and Head of Go-to-Market Operations
Our visionary enterprise customers are successfully navigating through the most complex period in IT with the help of NetApp and our partners. We are proud to recognize their inspiring achievements that have resulted in transformative business changes in their organizations.
Enterprise IT organizations are transforming operations to deliver more value to the businesses they underpin. This transformation is creating unprecedented amounts of complexity in enterprises as they evaluate technologies such as cloud, social, and big data analytics to achieve the success their businesses demand.
To manage this complexity, enterprises turn to NetApp and other industry leaders to devise approaches, implement technologies, and provide service offerings that accommodate the immediate needs of business today and its needs in the future.
With its annual innovation awards, NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) recognizes winning enterprises that teamed with NetApp and its extended ecosystem of software, systems, and service partners to flourish in this time of complexity and to achieve success on their terms.
NetApp will honor the winners of the Innovation Awards program tonight during a distinguished awards ceremony at The Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.
NetApp thanks everyone who submitted achievements to the 2014 Innovation Awards program. Over 100 high-quality global nominations from more than two-dozen countries were submitted. Submissions were made by a wide range of industries and organizations, including enterprise service providers, healthcare, financial services, government, media and entertainment, energy, and education.

Supporting Quotes
Samir Gaertner, Director, System Technology, Boerse Stuttgart AG
As the leading exchange for securities derivatives in Europe and for corporate bonds in Germany, Boerse Stuttgart is Europe's leading exchange for private investors. We need to execute our customers' orders with the utmost speed and cost efficiency. With a shared infrastructure based on the NetApp clustered Data ONTAP operating system and NetApp and Cisco's converged infrastructure, FlexPod, we now handle twice as many business transactions and 2.3 billion quote updates a day. Our data center costs have been reduced by 65%, which has enabled us to grow and invest in other areas of the business.
Sandeep Kaul, Head of IT Service Delivery, ING Vysya Bank Limited
ING Vysya Bank is a growing premier private sector bank with over two million customers. We had to scale up to meet growing business demand and our heterogeneous storage solutions were aging, so we turned to NetApp. NetApp OnCommand and enterprise FAS storage systems allowed us to consolidate over 90% of our business-critical banking applications and reduce time to market by 50%. Working with NetApp we have been able to focus on IT to meet business demands and improve IT reliability and performance while saving capital.
Bill Menger, Director of High-Performance Computing, ION Geophysical Corporation
At ION, our goal is to help oil and gas companies better understand the earth's subsurface through innovative seismic data processing and imaging solutions as well as seismic data library coverage in key geologic basins around the world. As part of our growth strategy and to better support client demand within, our team needed to move an entire high-performance-computing environment into a new facility. Using NetApp's operating system-clustered Data ONTAP-and FAS storage systems, we were able to transition our data to the new data center without disruption to operations.
Axel Haentjens, Vice President, Cloud Computing, Orange Business Services
Orange Business Services, a global IT and communications services provider, understood early on how the power of cloud computing could transform our customers' business operations. Putting cloud at the core of our strategy, we developed a full range of IT infrastructure solutions, with storage being a key part. We wanted a long-term and experienced partner, and we chose to put NetApp as a centerpiece of our cloud offerings, as they embraced our aggressive business model and allowed us to scale quickly. The technology and partnership from NetApp has been key to our success in the cloud.
Norm Fjeldheim, Senior Vice President and CIO, Qualcomm Incorporated
Our enterprise IT organization is continuously challenged to provide the infrastructure needed to meet the complexity of the changing IT environment and give us a competitive advantage in the marketplace. We turned to our extended team and trusted partners like NetApp to devise approaches and implement technologies that will meet our needs now and in the future. NetApp's expertise and collaborative approach in helping us achieve our desired outcomes has already enabled us to produce higher-quality products ahead of schedule.
