The firm has also announced updates to NetApp StorageGRID that deliver driving improved density and performance for object storage.
► All-flash systems price points for all businesses
► Space saving devices ideal for critical workloads
The new AFF systems are idea for supporting critical workloads, such as database applications and AI. They deliver sub-millisecond latency with up to 2.5X better performance over their predecessors, integrated real-time ransomware protection with 99%+ accuracy, and improved storage density, all at an affordable price-point.
The AFF A20 starts at a capacity point of 15.35TB while the AFF A30 allows customers to start small but scale to over 1PB. The AFF A50 delivers two times the performance of its predecessor in a third of the rack space.
New NetApp AFF C-Series systems are designed for general purpose workloads, delivering maximum density and efficiency with seamless scaling. They make the performance and efficiency gains of flash more accessible, providing an industry-leading 1.5PB of storage capacity in two-rack deployments. This can lead to up to 95% floor space savings and power savings up to 97%, lowering TCO significantly.
The updated StorageGRID 11.9 software improves scalability and flexibility with options for metadata-only and data-only nodes for increased performance with small object workloads and mixed-media grids. Additionally, NetApp is extending the StorageGRID SGF6112 storage system with support for 60TB capacity flash drives, doubling the density of object deployments with consummate reductions in the rack space required and costs for power and cooling.
