Forbes.com interview: NetApp’s supersize disk drives store everything from video to DNA maps

Forbes.com just posted an inter­est­ing inter­view with Dan War­men­hoven, chief exec­u­tive of Net­work Appli­ance, the maker of super­size hard dri­ves that serve a wide range of indus­tries, from finan­cial ser­vices to video animation.

Dan From­mer of Forbes asks War­men­hoven, who received his under­grad­u­ate degree from Prince­ton in elec­tri­cal engi­neer­ing, what he con­sid­ers to be the most unusual infor­ma­tion stored on NetApp servers.

“We’re the infra­struc­ture for the human genomics projects, so all the DNA maps of humans” are stored on NetApp servers, says War­men­hoven. Who knew? You can read the full inter­view, titled “Swanky Stor­age,” on Forbes.com.
