AFF-C400 HA SYSTEM,ETHERNET BUNDLE

Leading the way to a cloud-connected all-flash data center

As quad-level cell (QLC) flash technology matures and becomes more widely available, organizations are finding that the performance is good enough for many tier 1 and tier 2 workloads- and the price, typically more affordable than triple-level cell (TLC) media, is advantageous. Customers who are eager to modernize their IT infrastructure from HDD to flash don't want to pay a premium for submillisecond performance for non-mission-critical workloads. In addition, organizations are increasingly looking for easy ways to connect to the cloud, creating a dynamic hybrid cloud infrastructure that can address their changing IT needs.

A cloud-connected capacity flash system powered by ONTAP

All-flash storage systems based on QLC media address this challenge. NetApp® AFF C-Series systems help you move more of your data to flash with the latest QLC flash technology. These systems are suited for large-capacity deployment as an affordable way to modernize your data center to all flash and also connect to the cloud. Powered by NetApp ONTAP® data management software, AFF C-Series systems deliver industry-leading efficiency, superior flexibility, and best-in-class data services and cloud integration to help you scale your IT infrastructure, simplify your data management, and reduce storage cost and power consumption.

They enable you to:

• Save big on storage, rack space, and power consumption
• Scale capacity and performance seamlessly without disruption
• Keep business-critical data available, protected, and secure

Increase efficiency and sustainability

Organizations are striving to make their ITOps more cost-efficient and energy-efficient while also meeting their performance and capacity requirements. AFF C-Series systems help our customers achieve these goals by reducing data center costs with a more sustainable and more efficient solution than hybrid flash and HDD systems.

Save big on storage footprint and energy costs

AFF C-Series systems are built on high-density NVMe capacity flash technology. They're a great choice for large-capacity deployments with a small storage footprint-including data lakes, backup consolidation, media and rendering, AI/ML, and analytics. With AFF C-Series systems, you can reduce up to 95% of rack space and save up to 85% of energy cost over hybrid flash storage, as shown in Figure 1. This allows you to cut down your energy consumption and improve sustainability significantly.

Achieve industry-leading storage savings

NetApp employs various capabilities to promote optimal capacity savings and to reduce your TCO. By supporting SSDs with multistream write technology, and using advanced SSD partitioning, AFF systems provides maximum usable capacity. Thin provisioning; NetApp Snapshot™ copies; inline data reduction features, such as deduplication, compression, compaction, and NetApp's temperature-sensitive storage efficiency technology save even more space, enabling you to purchase the least amount of storage capacity possible.
