SolidFire CEO Dave Wright has left NetApp, less than eighteen months after the storage company he founded was acquired by the big blue staple. Wright was in place as recently as March this year when he briefed El Regon NetApp's hyper-converged appliance development project, which is based on SolidFire tech.
