NetApp EF280All-Flash Array | Process more data faster for more insightful decisions
The Challenge
Many small and medium-sized organizations are looking for ways to improve the speed and responsiveness of the applications that control their key business operations. Because the performance of these applications is tightly linked to time to market, revenue, and customer satisfaction, it is crucial that they operate without disruptions at the highest levels of efficiency. Consistent performance and cost-effective delivery are imperative. Yet managing data is increasingly complex and costly-especially with limited resources, space, and power.
The Solution
The entry-level NetApp EF280 all-flash array is an all-SSD storage system that can improve your access to your data and increase its value. Requiring just 2U of rack space, the EF280 all-flash array combines affordable IOPS, microsecond response times, and up to 10GBps of bandwidth with leading, enterprise-proven availability features, including:
- Redundant components with automated failover
- Intuitive storage management with comprehensive tuning functions
- Advanced monitoring and diagnostics with proactive repair
- NetApp SANtricity® Snapshot™ copy creation, volume copy, and asynchronous mirroring for data protection
- SANtricity Cloud Connector to enable backup to the cloud and data mobility across NetApp systems
- SANtricity data assurance (T10-PI) for data integrity and protection against silent data corruption
Combined, these capabilities offer optimal price/performance, configuration flexibility, and simplicity in a compact package to help you process more data faster for more insightful decisions.
Affordable Performance
Designed specifically for mixed-workload environments such as big data analytics and databases, the EF280 all-flash array delivers over 300K sustained IOPS and response times in microseconds. Bandwidth-oriented workloads also benefit from the ability of the EF280 to provide up to 10GBps of throughput. The EF280 supports a broad range of high-speed host interfaces to protect your investment in storage networks, including 32Gb Fibre Channel (FC), 25Gb iSCSI, and 12Gb SAS.
The EF280 increases performance for big data analytics applications such as Splunk, enabling you to search and analyze data in less time. The EF280 also helps significantly improve the overall efficiency of your IT operations while continuing to meet performance requirements from your business operations.
Enterprise Value
The EF280 all-flash array offers industry-leading price/ performance in an enterprise-grade 2U system. With support for up to 367TB of flash capacity in a single modular 2U building block, the ultradense EF280 enables you to easily meet ever- changing business requirements. The EF280 also helps protect your investment through the ability to independently scale to 1.4PB of raw flash capacity and with nondisruptive support for higher-speed host interfaces in the near future.
