NetApp FlexCache software lets you scale out compute-intensive storage performance and accelerate remote data access.

Deploy NetApp® FlexCache® software to scale out storage performance without adding management complexity. FlexCache software creates a caching layer in your storage infrastructure that adapts to changing usage patterns, eliminating performance bottlenecks without tedious management.

Addressing some of today's most difficult data access and data management problems, FlexCache software can be added to existing FAS or V-Series systems running NFS. The software also runs on NetApp Storage Acceleration Appliances (SAAs), which are lower-cost storage systems that host only FlexCache volumes.

FlexCache software caches and serves hot datasets anywhere in your infrastructure using local volumes, for:

  • Compute-intensive applications such as movie rendering, EDA, seismic analysis, and financial-markets simulation
  • Distributed software development and testing
  • Branch-office access to corporate datasets

FlexCache remote caching simplifies file distribution and reduces your overall data management and WAN bandwidth costs.

FlexCache software boosts storage efficiency and cost-effectiveness by directing the right data to the right storage at the right time.
