Updated all-flash storage offerings drive performance at all budgets and offer simplicity at scale
NetApp updates its portfolio of enterprise storage offerings including new NetApp AFF A-Series and AFF C-Series systems with mid-range, all-flash, unified data storage at price points for businesses of any size and updates to NetApp StorageGRID, driving improved density and performance for object storage.
Today’s dynamic enterprises need an intelligent data strategy to address the challenges of modern data management, such as exponential data growth, multi-cloud complexity, and the need for AI readiness. Intelligent Data Infrastructure is a comprehensive framework that empowers organizations to define and implement a transformative intelligent data strategy that is secure, agile, and future-ready.
With these new innovations, customers can now expand their intelligent data infrastructure using NetApp’s leading data storage systems at more accessible entry points, making it easier to scale up from a smaller starting point or expand their capabilities to remote and branch locations. These new systems enable customers to power the growing scope of critical workloads, such as database applications and AI, or tap into the efficiency of all-flash storage to manage the growing volumes of data under their control. By leveraging intelligent data infrastructure that delivers performance, capacity, and a unified framework, customers can make their data a strategic asset that enables more informed decision-making and drives innovation.
“The unrelenting growth of data volumes and increasingly demanding workloads have put increasing pressure on IT teams of any size to provide simplicity at scale for all their workloads.” Sandeep Singh, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Enterprise Storage at NetApp.
NetApp is making the storage that turbocharges mission-critical workloads available to every customer by releasing additional models for its AFF A-Series storage systems. Like the high-end AFF models, the new NetApp AFF A20, A30, and A50 models deliver advanced capabilities including sub-millisecond latency with up to 2.5X better performance over their predecessors, guaranteed storage efficiency, integrated real-time ransomware protection with 99+ percent accuracy, and improved storage density, all at an affordable price-point.
New NetApp AFF C-Series systems are designed to deliver more value for general purpose workloads and workload consolidation across unified file, block, and object storage protocols by delivering maximum density and efficiency with seamless scaling. The NetApp AFF C30, C60, and C80 systems make the performance and efficiency gains of flash more accessible to businesses by providing an industry-leading 1.5PB of storage capacity in two-rack deployments. Customers modernizing their data centers from hybrid flash will experience benefits including up to a 95 percent floor space savings, power savings up to 97 percent, and built-in real-time ransomware protection with 99+ percent accuracy, lowering their total cost of ownership.
“The unrelenting growth of data volumes and increasingly demanding workloads have put increasing pressure on IT teams of any size to provide simplicity at scale for all their workloads,” said Sandeep Singh, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Enterprise Storage at NetApp. “Customers facing those challenges can rely on NetApp to deliver continuous innovation, illustrated by the release of the new more powerful, intelligent, and secure NetApp AFF A-Series systems and the new scalable, efficient, and secure NetApp AFF C-Series systems. Today, we are making our latest developments in intelligent data infrastructure more accessible for an even wider range of customers.”
Both the AFF A-Series and C-Series systems are powered by NetApp ONTAP®, delivering simplicity at scale for NetApp customers by leveraging intelligent data infrastructure to power mission-critical apps, run general-purpose workloads, and tier data to lower-cost FAS systems all with the same streamlined operational and protection models.
