@whoisxun Felt it on the 5th floor of our NetApp Santana Row building. Outside windows were visibly rippling.

@NikkiMedoro Just felt that...pretty short.

@TheThomason Reminds me of the old joke:

Customer: Waiter, waiter, what's this fly doing in my soup?

Waiter: The breaststroke, I think, sir.

And social media platforms ding you for linking out.

What to do?

Beat the platforms at their own game.

Make Zero-Click Content.

@lozdjames @mr_coops Great write up, especially coming from someone who's been there. One advantage you mention is the ability to more easily TEST than before. If testing is too hard (disruptive and potential downtime if it goes poorly) it won't get done, leaving potential problems uncovered.

I couldn't have said it better myself, so I won't. "Cloud Titan OEM deals mean advantage NetApp" NetApp’s OEM deals with the AWS, Azure and Google public clouds set it ahead of all other file-focused storage providers. https://t.co/ymtk7U1XMs
