HCLTech, NetApp deepen collaboration on hybrid cloud storage-as-a-service

HCLTech and NetApp are two big technology companies.

They decided to work together even more closely.

Together, they will offer something called hybrid cloud storage-as-a-service.

That is a fancy way of saying companies can pay to store their data using a mix of their own computers and the cloud.

The cloud is like a giant, secure warehouse for information that you can reach over the internet.

This service helps businesses handle big jobs, especially ones powered by artificial intelligence.

AI needs lots of data, so companies need lots of safe storage space.

NetApp's leader said good partnerships come from creating services that give customers real value.

Customers get to use NetApp's smart data storage in a flexible and easy way.
