AppWorld 2025 - NetApp and F5 Partner to deliver AI solutions
At AppWorld 2025, Buu Lam sits down with Haiyan Song, Executive Vice President of CloudOps at NetApp as well as Shawn Wormke, Vice President and General Manager, F5 NGINX. Haiyan and Shawn just wrapped up a keynote on stage and swing by the podcast booth to expand on the insights that they shared on stage. With NetApp being the whole of so much of the world's enterprise data, it makes sense for F5 to partner with them to provide fast and secure connectivity as customers seek to get data out to their AI applications for Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures.
