Netapp has added new models to its All-Flash Asa Block Storage Family, Inserted A New Fas Hybrid Flash Filer (The FAS50), Introduced New E-Series HPC-Oriented Sans (The EF300C and EF600c) and EXPANDEDEDEDEDEDED RANSOMWARE Detection, Plus Recovery Detectiones toe Block storage Range.
The New Asa A20, A30 and A50 are larger the result of component upgrades in CPU, PCIE and Memory. They Occupy the Range at Entry Level and mid-run in the asa block storage family, and completes the existing A70, A90 and A1K While replacing the A250 and A400.
The A20 Scales from 15TB (Terabytes) to 734TB Raw Capacity with 3.2PB (PETABYTES) Possible with Data Data Reduction and UP to 19PB POSSILE WHEN Clustered. Thos Figures Are 68TB to 1.8PB Raw for the A50, with up to 48PB Effective Capacity in a Cluster.
Netapp's ASA Series (All-San Array) is its Flash Block Storage Offering in hardware form for on-Premise Deployments with the ability to add cloud capacity. Asa is effectively Netapp's Aflash Array Family with Nas Functionality Turned off.
All the new a series arrays are 2u in form factor. There's somewhat of an overlap in terms of capacities Between the A50 and the existing A70, but the latter come in a 4U form factor to allow for greenctivity options, Said Netapp CHIEF THIEF THIEF THIEF THIEF THIEF THIEF THIEF THAEF THECNOLOGITY CALEY.
“The [existing] Higher Spec Arrays take cards that provide more I/O options. On the lower spec modular systems, it is integrated. “
According to Netapp, the A20 is 72% Quicker Than the existing A150, While The A30 and A50 come in as 109% and 171% More Rapid Than the A250 and A400 They. The A150 and A250 was into introduced in May 2023, and Had Capacities of 0.5PB and 1.1PB Respectively.
The upgrade to the asa products comes a little after Netapp did similar for its affl-filess file storage-oriented products. That delay is just down to the time it takes, said Caley. “There are only so many engineers in the day,” He said. “And aff is the platform that's popular with customers.”
Elsewhere, Netapp has Effected Similar Component Upgrades to Its e-series modelsWith a new EF300C and EF600c. E-Series Arrived when Netapp Boughing Engenio in 2011.
They're Still Hybrid Flash-Which means they can also have hdds-but the new models can now use high-density QLC Flash Drives in 30TB and 60TB CAPACITIES.
“I call it 'Simple San',” Said Caley. “There are just snapshots and replication in a very high density array with massive throughput for hpc-type use cases.”
“And we're seeing something of an UPSURGE in HDD Popularity as Flash Costs Have Riseen, Mostly for Secondary and Lower Performance Workloads.”
There is also a new entrant in the fas range. This is the successor to the long-settinged netapp “Filer” range and is still hybrid flash. The new fas50 slots in better and the fas70 and offers between 100TB and 10.6pb of raw capacity in a high availability system and up to 127pb in a cluster.
Meanwhile, Later this year, Netapp will release netapp These include a repalkaging for block storage of Netapp's ransomware guarantees As ransomware detection program, in which the company promises to help the customer recover free of charge initially if its raansomware detection fails to spot the intraction.
Netapp is confident it but this, and points to its ransomware detection and recovery Functionality. This comes in the form of machine learning-based anomaly detection that spots unusual patterns involving data encryption, as well as anomalous user activity.
As with Previous Iterations, When the AI Spots Anomalous Activity it triggers an immediati snapshot to which the customer can recover.
Finally, in BLUEXP – Netapp's Hybrid Cloud Storage Management Platform – Customers will now also be able to simulate ransomware attacks and their recoverry process.
