The new products include NetApp AFF C-Series, a new family of capacity flash storage options that deliver lower cost all-flash storage, and NetApp AFF A150, a new entry-level storage system in the AFF A-Series family of all-flash systems.

The new NetApp AFF C-Series delivers flash performance, while remaining cost-effective and efficient for a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and a smaller storage footprint. This family of capacity flash arrays is also offered with one of the industry’s most comprehensive software suites, ONTAP One, an all-in-one license that includes all available NetApp software. Customers can modernize their data center with the flexibility to choose the right storage (performance flash, capacity flash or hybrid) for their VMware, database and file workload requirements. All storages run on NetApp ONTAP and are managed centrally by NetApp BlueXP for a seamless hybrid cloud experience.

NetApp also announced NetApp Advance, a new suite of storage programs and warranties to deliver best-in-class customer ownership experience and cost-effectively future-proof on-premises environments. This gives customers the flexibility and choice to safeguard their storage investment – whether the C-Series, AFF A150 or other newly acquired AFF or FAS systems – with the ability to right-size on-premises environments and transition to storage as a service or cloud storage as their business requires. And with NetApp’s 4:1 Storage Efficiency Guarantee, NetApp ensures that workload efficiency goals are met, or NetApp will rectify this at no cost to the customer.

The NetApp AFF C-Series, which is comprised of the AFF C250, AFF C400 and AFF C800, offers:

• Guaranteed storage efficiency to improve an organization’s storage footprint and energy costs to reduce the TCO while simplifying operations;
• Seamless scalability on-premises to allow organizations to scale capacity and performance as their data grows;
• Best-in-class data security with ransomware protection to keep important data secure, available and protected.

The new NetApp AFF A150 is ideal for mid-size businesses and Remote Office/Branch Office (ROBO) and distributed deployments to better meet the needs of customers who require entry-level, enterprise-class storage, while providing:

• Better performance;
• More scalability and expansion options;
• High availability with support for MetroCluster IP.

The new NetApp’s systems are ideal for entry-level to high-end workloads (including virtual machines, database, and backup consolidation), are feature-rich with ONTAP data management and are offered at an attractive price point for customers. It's also worth noting that NetApp and Cisco plan to offer these storage options within the industry-leading integrated infrastructure offering, FlexPod, in Q4 FY’23.
