NetApp customers are providing greater business value to their organizations by successfully transforming their IT environments with NetApp technology. We are proud to have teamed with these visionary companies, and we recognize their extraordinary achievements in IT and in business.
The annual NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) Innovation Awards recognize the companies that are leveraging technology to make IT dramatically more proactive, productive, and essential to the business. These organizations and individuals are thinking differently about what is required to compete in the future, and they rely on NetApp and its partners to help define and fulfill their visions.
The winners will be honored during an awards ceremony at the NetApp Insight event in Las Vegas, Nevada, on October 13, 2015.

The year's event offers a unique opportunity for customers and partners to learn about the trends and technologies that are shaping the future of storage and data management. The theme, Building Data Fabric Together, showcases NetApp's vision for the future of data management and the solutions that help customers innovate faster in the hybrid cloud.
