The NetApp AFF C-Series

NetApp also announced today, NetApp Advance, a new portfolio of storage programs and guarantees 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 environment 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.

"NetApp has been a flash storage leader for years, and today's announcements of the AFF C-Series and A150 builds on that legacy of innovation to bring our customers and partners some of the most affordable and sustainable all flash storage in the market today," said Sandeep Singh, Senior Vice President, Enterprise Storage at NetApp. "As companies are looking at their bottom line in this economic environment, we want to meet their needs by providing capacity flash at a lower cost to entry in order to better enable their transition from hybrid storage to all-flash while staying in budget."

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 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.

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

These additions to NetApp's product line-up 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 – creating strong growth opportunities for NetApp partners to reach new markets while qualifying for NetApp Partner Sphere^[3] incentives.

"NetApp continues to assert itself as one of the market's preeminent innovators for hybrid cloud storage," said Juan Orlandini, Chief Architect and Distinguished Engineer at Insight Enterprises. "As a leading solutions integrator and longtime NetApp partner, we know our joint customers are looking for the industry's most innovative solutions and services to enable speed, scale and resilience for their business. With these new capacity flash and entry level offerings, we're opening the door to acquire new customers at scale."

NetApp Advance is available today. The NetApp AFF C-Series family and NetApp AFF A150 will be available starting in March 2023, and NetApp and Cisco plan to offer these storage options within the industry-leading integrated infrastructure offering, FlexPod^[4], in Q4 FY'23.
