ORIA Circle No. 3

Impulses that have a lasting effect

The third ORIA Circle, held on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, once again brought together people who are passionate about innovation, cloud technologies, and the digital future. At Kaspar in Lucerne, the focus was on inspiring expert presentations, personal exchanges, and valuable connections.

The evening was particularly enriched by two engaging short presentations: Michael Trutmann, Leader of Solution Architecture at ORIA by Sharp DX Switzerland, provided insights into “NetApp Trident for Kubernetes” and demonstrated how modern container platforms can be managed efficiently. Marc Ender, Senior Manager, Solutions Specialist / Field CTO at NetApp Switzerland, then spoke about “AI-ready Storage” and explained why a high-performance data infrastructure forms the foundation for successful AI applications.

In addition to the technical insights, the evening provided ample opportunity for personal conversations, networking, and sharing experiences. It is precisely this combination of technology, community, and open discussions that defines the ORIA Circle and ensures that the insights continue to have an impact long after the event has ended.

A heartfelt thank you to all the participants, our speakers Michael Trutmann and Marc Ender, and everyone who contributed to this successful evening with their questions, ideas, and discussions. We would also like to thank NetApp Switzerland for their valuable collaboration and insightful perspectives.
