As the use of virtualization increases and flash technology improves, it becomes more important to select the right storage network. Because NVMe can move data between network-connected flash arrays as quickly as data now moves within a physical server, it’s critical that your network meet the performance needs of your virtual infrastructure with unparalleled reliability, […]
With the recent release of ONTAP 9.6, let’s continue exploring the benefits that ONTAP (see previous blog on Simplifying Data Management with ONTAP) and NetApp provide to our customers. In this post, I will describe how NetApp leads the way with end-to-end NVMe solutions based on ONTAP. Digital Transformation demands more Digital transformation looks different […]
NetApp has been the fastest-growing SAN vendor among the top five vendors in the market for the last 2 years. This is by no means a small accomplishment, especially considering the size of NetApp’s business and its overall position in the Enterprise Storage market. One of the reasons behind this growth has been NetApp’s relentless […]
Talk to enterprise data storage vendors today, and all you hear is NVMe-this, NVMe-that, blah blah blah. There’s a good reason for all the noise. Implementing NVMe (NVM Express) as the end-to-end data transfer protocol in your SAN environment can significantly improve throughput and reduce latency, delivering a vastly better experience to your users. […]
This week on the podcast, we find out how the new NetApp A800 system fared in the rigorous SPC-1 v3 storage benchmarks. Can the NVMe attached SSDs truly help reduce latency while maintaining a high number of IOPs? Performance TME Dan Isaacs and the workload engineering team of Scott Lane, Jim Laing and Joe Scott join us to discuss! […]
Data storage technologies have advanced quickly over the past few decades, yet the pace of innovation today seems faster than ever. In the market for external storage systems, hard disks ruled for a long, long time, but once flash came along it quickly took over. First came the hybrid systems (hard disks and flash […]
This week on the podcast, we brought in an army of hardware and NVMe experts to discuss the newest NVMe features in ONTAP 9.4 and what new hardware platforms are coming soon. Join us as we welcome Dan Isaacs, Chris Lueth and Mike Peppers to the podcast! Each week, the Tech ONTAP Podcast discusses all-things […]
Self-driving cars, talking computers, and smart “tricorder” devices capable of diagnosing disease used to be the realm of science fiction. Not anymore. Fueled by vast amounts of data, recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing have enabled data visionaries to turn these fictions into reality. Today, NetApp is announcing new products and […]
The NetApp® EF570 all-flash array and E5700 hybrid array introduced in September are the first NVMe-oF (NVMe over Fabrics) enterprise-class systems in the market. Both systems support an optional add-on InfiniBandTM host interface card that can run NVMe-oF up to EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) 100Gb/s speed, and were recently demonstrated at NetApp Insight in Las […]
Today NetApp announced the new EF570 all-flash array and E5700 hybrid flash systems. These NetApp® systems provide the industry’s best price/performance for both IOPS and MB/s, and they are the first NVMe-enabled enterprise class systems available in the market. In addition, a new NetApp Converged Infrastructure Solution for Data Analytics was announced, as well as […]
Flash is powering the digital transformation. New emerging real-time applications will demand even more. NetApp has a vision for integrating new technologies such as NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) and storage-class memory (SCM) to accelerate the digital transformation through nondisruptive integration of these “disruptive” innovations. Figure 1 illustrates the vision of how these technologies work together. […]
This blog post is part 4 of a four-part series that explains how Nonvolatile Memory Express (NVMe), NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF), and new storage-class memory (SCM) are changing the game for data centers. For a deeper dive, download the white paper “New Frontiers in Solid- State Storage”. In the coming years, every major storage vendor […]
