Solution? What’s a Solution?
In IT marketing, the word “Solution” is grossly over used.
In the context of the highly competitive Midrange disk market, it’s probably best to use a case study to describe what I mean by “Solution”
You’ve all heard of NetApp haven’t you?
© 2010 IBM Corporation
NetApp does not respond to bids with this picture – Let me tell you how
fast my disk array is…– Have I told you how
available and scalable my disk array is???
NetApp leads with a highly integrated “software solution” message– NetApp software is
proprietary and marketed as part of the array
– If the NetApp SW message wins, NetApp HW wins.
“Hardware is just a carrier for software”
NetApp exec
NetApp “Solution”
