NetApp has refreshed the low end of its all-flash A-Series AFF arrays following the May midrange and high-end upgrade. It has also updated the capacity-optimized C-Series hardware and added functionality to StorageGRID object storage software.
Customers can now access its storage “at more accessible entry points, making it easier to scale up from a smaller starting point or expand their capabilities to remote and branch locations,” Net App said in a statement.
A-Series
Until May, NetApp’s ONTAP-powered A-Series comprised the A150, A250, A400, A800, and A900. The bigger the number, the more powerful the system, with generally faster controllers and higher capacity as we move up the range. That naming was discontinued for certain systems in May when the company added three new models: A70, A90, and A1K (not A1000), which refreshed the A400, A800, and A900 – the midrange and high-end A-Series. No end of availability was announced for the A400, A800, and A900.
