Welcome to the Episode 138, part of the continuing series called “Behind the Scenes of the NetApp Tech ONTAP Podcast.”

This week on the podcast, ONTAP 9.4 is here! I managed to snag ONTAP Senior Vice President Octavian Tanase (@octav) and ONTAP Chief Evangelist Jeff Baxter (@baxontap) to discuss what went into some of the decisions we made regarding the new feature payload, the future vision for ONTAP and what new stuff you can expect in this release.
