NetApp LLC Introduces New NetApp Storage Products to Modernize Workloads for Businesses of All Sizes ​ NetApp LLC Press release: November 13, 2024 Introducing new NetApp storage products to modernize workloads for businesses of all sizes All-flash storage updates deliver improved performance and simple scalability for any budget NetApp LLC (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Executive Officer and President: Shihab Nakajima) — NetApp(R) (NASDAQ: NTAP), a company that provides intelligent data
infrastructure, introduces the new NetApp AFF A series and AFF C series. We will be announcing a group of enterprise storage products, including systems. This makes mid-sized all-flash consolidated data storage a high-performance storage solution at a price point suitable for businesses of all sizes. NetApp StorageGRID has also been updated to improve object storage density and performance. Modern enterprises are facing a variety of data management challenges, including exponential data growth, multi-cloud complexity, and the need for AI support. You need a data strategy. NetApp’s Intelligent Data Infrastructure provides a comprehensive framework that enables organizations to navigate increasingly complex data environments, improve data security, agility, and build and implement
transformative, future-proof, intelligent data strategies. Provide. These new innovations enable customers to extend their intelligent data infrastructure using NetApp’s leading data storage systems. You can start with a smaller starting point and scale up as needed, easily extending functionality to remote locations or branch offices. These new systems also allow you to expand the reach of critical workloads such as database applications, AI, and leverage the efficiency of all-flash storage to manage growing data volumes. Turn your data into a strategic asset, make informed decisions, and drive innovation by leveraging an intelligent data infrastructure that provides
performance, capacity, and an integration framework. NetApp has updated its AFF A-series storage systems with the release of the AFF A20/A30/A50. This release brings similar features to NetApp’s AFF high-performance models at a more affordable price point, with up to 2.5x performance and sub-millisecond latency over previous models. It also offers increased storage capacity and advanced ransomware protection. With the newly released AFF A-series, we are constantly striving for storage efficiency, and our real-time integrated ransomware protection guarantees extremely high accuracy with an execution sensitivity of over 99%. When deploying storage systems, customers can build or scale an intelligent data infrastructure for high-performance workloads with the right balance of scale and price point. First of all, whether you want to start small or deploy it to each branch or office, the AFF A20 storage system allows you to start with a minimum capacity of 15.35TB. In terms of expandability, the AFF A30 can be expanded to a maximum capacity of 1PB even if you start with the smallest capacity. The AFF A50 storage system also delivers approximately twice the performance compared to previous models. At the same time, it occupies one-third of the rack space, making it the perfect choice for businesses looking for high performance at low cost. This can increase productivity, drive growth, and improve efficiency and security. NetApp’s new line of storage systems, the NetApp AFF C-Series, is designed to consolidate multiple storage protocols such as file, block, and object into a single storage platform to consolidate general-purpose workloads. Achieve maximum density, efficiency, and seamless scalability when This new series consists of AFF C30, C60, and C80 systems, offering up to 1.5PB of storage capacity in a market-leading 2-rack unit form factor for more accessible flash performance and efficiency. . By adopting a hybrid flash approach, customers looking to modernize their data centers can enjoy multiple benefits. These include up to 95% space savings, up to 97% power savings, and over 99% Langancy protection accuracy. Additionally, real-time ransomware protection constantly monitors the data in your system and protects it from unauthorized access. As such, these new NetApp AFF C-Series can offer exceptional economics for consolidating general-purpose workloads, reducing total cost of ownership. “We’re excited to partner with NetApp to deliver the best results to our customers,” said Sandeep Singh, senior vice president and general manager of enterprise storage at NetApp. “Continuous data growth combined with workload demands presents IT teams with many challenges in handling large workloads and maintaining a simple operational and security environment. We released the more powerful and intelligent NetApp AFF A-Series systems and the scalable, efficient, and secure NetApp AFF C-Series systems. These storage solutions deliver the latest trends in data infrastructure to more customers. Get advanced features at an affordable price.” Both systems employ NetApp ONTAP cloud data services to run
mission-critical applications, general-purpose workloads, and tier data to lower-cost FAS systems in a single, streamlined operational and protection model. By consolidating these services, we are able to provide services that are both large-scale and simplified. Scale-out support and ONTAP’s unique capabilities enable customers to meet growing data demands and workload challenges. For many customers, modernizing their Hadoop and data lake environments with AI begins with the implementation of a new object storage system. Enhancements to NetApp StorageGRID make it easier to scale and efficiently manage rapidly growing object workloads with an intelligent data
infrastructure. StorageGRID 11.9 software update increases bucket count, increases scalability, and provides more flexibility with metadata-only and data-only node options. Additionally, NetApp has expanded the StorageGRID SGF6112 storage system to support 60TB capacity flash drives, doubling the density of object deployments and reducing required rack, power, and cooling costs. These enhancements enable customers to create scalable and efficient object storage environments that can handle object-based workloads at optimal cost/performance. said Oliver Fuckner, Systems Engineer, Open Systems & Backup at Atruvia AG. “By migrating to a NetApp AFF C-Series all-flash storage system, we were able to reduce rack space usage by 80% and accelerate data center consolidation. We were able to modernize our load and significantly reduce our physical space for data storage, making NetApp’s solution a huge advantage as we scale with our needs. Technology enables faster and more efficient data management to further optimize your infrastructure.” Ashish Nadkarni, Group Vice President and General Manager, Enterprise Infrastructure Research, IDC. “With the new AFF A-Series system, NetApp is extending enterprise-class storage capabilities traditionally reserved for large enterprises to businesses of all sizes. Now you can handle your data-centric workloads and grow with flash storage systems. NetApp offers a wide range of products at a wide range of price points to meet the economic needs of your business. You can choose your solution. A unified data storage ecosystem also provides benefits such as increased operational efficiency, simple integration and
management, and real-time, reliable ransomware protection. These affordability and efficiency benefits allow businesses of all sizes to take advantage of the latest data storage technology.” More ​ About NetApp NetApp is an Intelligent Data Infrastructure company that combines unified data storage, unified data services, and CloudOps solutions to enable any customer to turn global trends in disruptive innovation into opportunities.
