NetApp AFF A-Series arrays stay cool under the pressure of your most demanding workloads. Our systems are primed for enterprise databases, analytics, AI, and machine learning. And we make it easy to back up and tier data to the cloud—any cloud.
Outstanding hybrid cloud support
Powered by NetApp ONTAP® data management software, AFF all-flash systems let you connect to the public clouds you want, when you want. Back up to the cloud? Check. Reduce costs by tiering cold data to the cloud? Check. Support collaboration across the hybrid cloud? Check. Burst to cloud to accommodate dynamic workloads? Check.
Better performance
NetApp all-flash arrays deliver more IOPS and lower latency than Pure FlashArray at a better price. In independent tests and real-world validations, NetApp consistently outperforms Pure systems. Pure doesn’t even share their performance with the independent Storage Performance Council.
Industry-leading protection
NetApp does more to protect your data—so much so that we’re the only enterprise storage vendor validated to store top secret data listed on the NSA's Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Component List. Combining data protection with security, our built-in solutions protect you from data loss, downtime, and ransomware attacks autonomously across your entire hybrid cloud, wherever data is stored.
