NetApp Enables Companies to Make Faster Decisions with Data
September 19 2017 - 8:00AM
NetApp (NASDAQ:NTAP) today introduced a powerful system that has
set new records for price/performance. NetApp has also added new
software to its big data analytics portfolio, including the first
available NVMe-enabled solution on the market and a NetApp®
Converged Infrastructure Solution for Data Analytics. These new
offerings provide ultrafast performance and the building blocks for
analytics data management that is fast, secure, efficient, and
future-proof.
To be effective, strategic, and tactical for future planning,
companies today need to harness and leverage the wealth of
available data. Meaningful analytics are the key
differentiator for smarter decision making and for gaining a
competitive advantage. To differentiate their business from the
competition and to accelerate time to market, organizations need
hybrid cloud data solutions that can deliver top application
performance with nonstop data availability.
The new solutions and software that NetApp introduced today
include:
- NetApp EF570 all-flash system is the storage industry’s
price/performance leader as demonstrated by SPC-1 and SPC-2
benchmark tests as of September 19, 2017. The fourth-generation
all-flash array was designed specifically for performance-intensive
workloads such as big data analytics, technical computing, and
video surveillance. It now delivers up to 21GBps of bandwidth, 1
million sustained IOPS, sub-100 microsecond latency, and support
for 100Gb NVMe over InfiniBand to increase application
responsiveness and to accelerate analytics. And it’s all in a
compact, 2U package. The system supports 367TB of raw flash
capacity in a modular 2U building block that scales to 1.8PB.
- NetApp E5700 Series hybrid flash system accelerates performance
and increases density with a hybrid flash system that is optimal
for modern enterprise applications. It also supports 100Gb NVMe
over InfiniBand.
- NetApp SANtricity® Cloud Connector enables Data Fabric
capabilities by providing cost-effective backup and recovery to the
cloud from NetApp E-Series and EF-Series systems.
- NetApp SANtricity 11.4 software now comes with security
enhancements such as role-based access control and audit log,
Active Directory support, and an external key manager. It also
ships with on-box SANtricity System Manager.
- NetApp Converged Infrastructure Solution for Data Analytics
brings together the latest storage, networking, and server
technologies in a pretested, prevalidated reference architecture to
help simplify deployment of data analytics environments.
“Organizations looking to transform data into valuable business
results are often bogged down by inefficient infrastructures that
are not designed for performance-intensive
workloads,” said Ritu Jyoti, research director,
Infrastructure for Big Data and Analytics, IDC. “Lacking the speed
required to analyze third platform data and yield
critical business insights in real time, they know that throwing
expensive updates at their infrastructure isn’t a solution.
Companies need a solution that offers the best price/performance to
solve this business challenge.”
“We know that technology changes fast, and that’s why we are
always on top of breakthroughs in application and infrastructure
architecture,” said Rob Berger, managing director of big data and
analytics, Global Technology Resources, Inc. “NetApp EF570 and
E5700 systems enable us to reduce speed to insight for our
customers while offering tremendous value and support for
mission-critical workloads.”
“Data is the engine that powers modern business,” said Eric
Stoltman, vice president and general manager of the Hyperscale
Storage Group at NetApp. “NetApp’s new solutions deliver enhanced
performance, efficiency, and flexibility for companies looking to
harness data that is distributed, dynamic, and diverse.”
The NetApp EF570 all-flash array is a midrange storage system
that offers twice the throughput performance of earlier versions.
In deployments, the EF570 can cut video processing times by as much
as 95%, reducing dataset analysis from weeks to hours. And response
for financial transactions is up to 4 times faster than with other
systems.
The NetApp E5700 Series is a hybrid flash system that is
designed with NetApp SANtricity operating system adaptive caching
algorithms for a large range of application workloads. Requiring
just 2U or 4U of rack space, the E5700 Series hybrid flash array
combines extreme IOPS and sub-100 microsecond response times to
increase application responsiveness and to accelerate analytics.
Customers can also get seamless backup and recovery to the hybrid
cloud with integration with the NetApp Data Fabric.
Both the E5700 and EF570 systems support multiple high-speed
host interfaces, including 32Gb FC, 25Gb iSCSI, 100Gb InfiniBand,
12Gb SAS, and 100Gb NVMe over InfiniBand. This capability makes
EF570 and E5700 systems among the first 2U arrays with support for
NVMe.
Designed for application environments, including backup and
recovery, technical computing, video surveillance, and big data
analytics, the NetApp E-Series and EF-Series storage arrays with
SANtricity software offer extreme performance, superior value, and
proven simplicity. SANtricity System Manager gives customers the
flexibility to manage their NetApp EF570 and E5700 Series systems
from any location, at any time, through an easy-to-use, on-box,
web-based interface. In addition, customers can simplify deployment
and access data with secure, reliable storage, proven by more than
1 million installations over NetApp’s rich 20+ year history. For
cost-effective backup and recovery to the cloud, the SANtricity
Cloud Connector is a hybrid cloud solution that connects directly
to an Amazon S3 target or through a NetApp StorageGRID® or
AltaVault™ storage system.
SPC-1 and SPC-2 Price/Performance
LeadershipNetApp has demonstrated the world’s leading
price/performance results for both SPC-1 and SPC-2 benchmarks in
the same system. With price/performance ratios of $0.13/SPC-1 IOPS
and $3.69/SPC-2 MBPS, NetApp has established its standing as the
storage industry’s price/performance leader for transactional and
bandwidth workloads.
Pricing and AvailabilityThe EF570 starts at
$25,000 and will be available in October.
