AFF-A70 NETAPP STORAGE DATA CENTRE & CLOUD
NetApp AFF A70
ONTAP-based all-flash storage with unified file and block access and built-in data protection.
§ 01OVERVIEW
The AFF A70 is an all-flash storage system that sits under enterprise databases and virtualisation clusters. The ONTAP operating system serves file (NFS, SMB) and block (FC, iSCSI, NVMe/TCP) access from the same platform, so different workloads consolidate onto one system instead of separate islands.
Snapshot, replication and immutable copy features shorten recovery time in a ransomware scenario. Moving data between site and cloud runs through the same interface.
§ 02 — KEY FEATURES
One platform, every access method.
