NetApp AFF all-flash Systems

Experience the capacity flash solution that redefines sustainability, scalability, and security. Enjoy flash performance for a price close to disk and in a fraction of the footprint.

NetApp AFF all-flash Systems
NetApp All Flash AFF systems are designed to help you to transform your infrastructure more quickly and fuel data-driven strategies.

They deliver best-in-class integrated data protection, leading cyber resilience, and seamless cloud backup and recovery.

What is the difference between AFF A-Series and AFF C-Series?

NetApp AFF A-Series is the only all-flash array that enables you to combine different controllers, SSD sizes, and new technologies so that your investment is protected. The NVMe-based AFF systems also support SAS SSDs, maximizing the flexibility and cost effectiveness of your upgrade.

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. 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.
