Netapp AFF C30 All-Flash Storage
AFF C Series storage is a sustainable, scalable, and secure solution for tier 1 and tier 2 applications. It combines the high performance of flash products with large capacity, making it the most affordable all-flash series on the market. It is ideal for transitioning from hybrid/HDD to all-flash storage, running database applications, and managing file environments based on virtualization platforms.
S
Sustainable
Reduce TCO and energy costs while simplifying operations. Using next-generation flash can save up to 95% of rack space and 85% of power and cooling costs compared to hybrid storage.
E
Scalable
Scale capacity and performance incrementally as your data grows. Expand capacity and eliminate storage silos by non-disruptively scaling out across a cluster from 122 TB to over 700 PB.
P
Security
Defend against threats such as ransomware with application consistency. Leading data security features enable excellent business continuity and effectively reduce losses in the event of a disaster.
Maximize Density and Efficiency
Ultra-dense capacity flash combined with NetApp deduplication and data compression delivers exceptional storage density without sacrificing performance. The AFF C-Series eliminates inefficient islands of storage, reducing storage sprawl, improving performance, and significantly reducing energy consumption.
