NetApp Supports Vital Energi in Transforming Data into Energy Savings Throughout the UKSUNNYVALE, Calif., April 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "To keep pace with continued growth and better serve our customers, we needed to overhaul our IT infrastructure," said Jon Woan, IT manager at Vital Energi.

As a result, the company can run enterprise applications up to 20 times faster, scale to meet business demand, reduce its own power consumption, and quickly process reports from growing data sets.
