- Reduce power use by 11 times and rack space by 19 times and cut support costs by 67%.
- Unify data management for both SAN and NAS environments, from flash to disk to cloud.
- Provision storage system and serve data within 10 minutes.
- Reduce SSD storage by 5 to 10 times on average with inline data reduction technologies.
- Remove network bottlenecks with high-speed connectivity of 32Gb FC and 40Gb Ethernet.
- Safeguard your data with the best-in-class integrated data protection suite.
The Capability of AFF systems :
Accelerate the speed of business while increasing operational efficiency:
- Built on the flash-optimized NetApp WAFL® (Write Anywhere File Layout) system, ONTAP FlashEssentials enables consistent high performance to meet the demands of a multitude of workloads in a shared environment.
- Consolidate all your workloads on the AFF systems, which deliver up to 600,000 IOPS at 1ms latency.
- You can manage a massively scalable NAS container of up to 20PB and 400 billion files with a single namespace using FlexGroup volumes, while maintaining consistent high performance and resiliency.
- You can reduce power consumption by up to 11 times and rack space by up to 19 times and slash support and performance-tuning costs to a third compared with hybrid
- systems.
- You can get flash at the cost of HDDs, thanks to NetApp data reduction technologies, enhanced with new inline data compaction.
- Support all your backup and disaster recovery needs with a complete suite of integrated data protection and replication features.
- Secure your data and simplify key management on any type of drive with NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE), software-based at-rest data encryption, and onboard key manager.
- You can move data and applications where they run best: on an AFF system, on commodity hardware with soft
- ware-defined storage, or in the cloud.
- AFF offers the broadest application ecosystem integration for enterprise applications, VDI, database, and server virtualization.
- Integrate flash into your infrastructure nondisruptively, eliminating silos, and scale out as your requirements grow
