Need a little (or a lot) more performance for your critical business applications? Our AFF A-Series arrays deliver the award-winning speed and responsiveness your performance-sapping workloads demand.
Go ahead, feed the AFF A-Series arrays your biggest demands—data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML)—they simply hum under pressure. Not only do these arrays deliver consistent low latency under the most stressful workloads, but performance won’t suffer when storage efficiency technologies are turned on.
Trustworthy? You bet. AFF A-Series arrays deliver best-in-class integrated data protection and seamless cloud backup and recovery. After all, what good is performance without security?
Simpler, faster, and more efficient, our newest entry-level and updated high-end AFF systems let you accelerate more of your data and move it in and out of the cloud without a hitch. And like the rest of our A-Series arrays, each is built on the latest NVMe technology at no extra cost.
AFF A-Series all-flash arrays are smart, powerful, and trusted solutions that take advantage of modern cloud technologies to deliver the speed, efficiency, and security your data fabric needs.
Deep integration with your critical business applications allows the provisioning of storage in minutes. Market-leading data reduction capabilities ensure maximum storage savings. And by easily connecting to more public clouds, you’ll enjoy the services and savings you want.
Boost the performance of your enterprise apps and AI/ML with the industry’s lowest latency NVMe storage. NVMe/FC connectivity maximizes performance with easy integration into your existing SAN. Plus, scale performance and capacity without causing disruptions.
Meet your strictest SLAs with integrated and application-consistent data protection. Optimized tier-one SAN resiliency delivers zero data loss and zero downtime. And SupportEdge optimizes your systems with simplified, predictive support services.
Why did IDC recently name NetApp a Leader in scale-out, file-based storage?
Unify your data. Simplify your hybrid cloud. Reduce costs. That’s the power of NetApp® ONTAP® software. Designed to give AFF A-Series arrays every advantage possible in the data center and when connected to the cloud. You just won the data management lottery.
