As businesses strive for faster time to market and greater customer satisfaction, they must improve the speed and responsiveness from key business operations. IT leaders recognize the benefits of all-flash storage for delivering consistent, low-latency I/O to critical workloads. As flash goes mainstream and more types of workloads run on allflash storage, it is also critical for a solution to deliver enterprise-grade data management capabilities for a shared environment. However, many all-flash array solutions lack robust data management, effective data protection, seamless scalability, and deep application integration.
NetApp All Flash FAS (AFF) systems address enterprise storage requirements with high performance, superior flexibility, and best-in-class data management. Built on ONTAP data management software, All Flash FAS systems speed up your business without compromising on the efficiency, reliability, or flexibility of your IT operations. As an enterprise-grade all-flash array, it accelerates, manages, and protects your business-critical data, now and in the future, enabling an easy and smooth transition to flash for your datacenter. With AFF systems, you can:
Accelerate the speed of business:

Features:
All-Flash Performance Powered by ONTAP FlashEssentials
FlashEssentials is what’s behind the performance and efficiency of All Flash FAS. It encapsulates flash innovations and optimization technologies in ONTAP software. And with the latest ONTAP 9 release, performance can be further increased by up to 60%. ONTAP is well known as leading data management software in the industry, but what is not widely known is that, with its WAFL system, it is natively suited for flash media. FlashEssentials encompasses the technologies that optimize flash performance and media endurance, including:
- Coalesced writes to free blocks, maximizing performance and the longevity of flash media
- A random read I/O processing path that is designed from the ground up for flash
- A highly parallelized processing architecture that promotes consistent low latency
- Enhanced built-in quality of service (QoS) that safeguards SLAs in multiworkload and multitenant environments
- Inline data reduction technologies, including inline compression, inline deduplication, and the newly introduced inline data compaction, reduce the SSD storage required and total spending on flash systems.
Transform Data Center Economics While Simplifying Operations
All Flash FAS systems can change your data center economics dramatically by reducing power consumption and rack space to a fraction of what a traditional HDD-based data center needs. They also significantly simplify storage management and cut support costs by eliminating performance tuning.
All Flash FAS is not only excellent for performance-demanding applications such as database, VDI, and server virtualization, but also a great choice for shared environments with a variety of workloads commonly found in a datacenter.
- Database
All Flash FAS reduces server and licensing costs by up to 50% by driving up server CPU utilization. - VDI
At just $39/desktop and up to 70:1 data reduction, All Flash FAS costs less than the competition. - Server virtualization
All Flash FAS delivers superior support for your server virtualization environment with unified SAN and NAS support and leading application ecosystem integration.
All Flash FAS comes with a full suite of acclaimed NetApp Integrated Data Protection software. You get features and capabilities such as NetApp Snapshot® copies, cloning, encryption, and both synchronous and asynchronous replication for backup and disaster recovery. Key capabilities and benefits include:
- Native space efficiency with cloning and Snapshot copies to reduce storage costs
- Snapshot copy creation, cloning, and replication with near-zero performance impact
- Application-consistent Snapshot copies that simplify application management
- Synchronous replication with NetApp MetroCluster software, a NetApp exclusive capability in the all-flash array market that delivers zero RPO and low to zero RTO for mission-critical workloads
- Support for at-rest data encryption and onboard key manager to help secure your data with simplified key management
- NetApp SnapMirror replication software that replicates to any type of FAS/AFF system—all-flash, hybrid, or HDD, and on the premises or in the cloud—reducing overall system costs
All Flash FAS systems are built with innovative inline data reduction technologies including inline adaptive compression, inline deduplication, and the new inline data compaction introduced in the latest ONTAP 9 release. These technologies provide space savings of 5 to 10 times, on average, for a typical use case. When these capabilities are combined with the space-efficient NetApp Snapshot and FlexClone technologies, a data reduction ratio as high as 933:1 has been observed.1
Additional details about the data reduction technologies include:
- The new inline data compaction technology uses an innovative approach to place multiple logical data blocks from the same volume into a single 4KB block. This process occurs after inline compression and inline deduplication and just before writing to media. It provides substantial space savings in addition to inline compression for database workloads that have relatively small I/O sizes. For databases with I/O sizes of less than 2KB or 1KB, you can save 2 to 4 times the space, respectively, that inline compression by itself could achieve. A combined space savings as high as 67:1 by using inline data compaction and inline compression together has been observed.
- The inline compression has a near-zero performance impact. Incompressible data detection eliminates wasted cycles.
- The enhanced inline deduplication in ONTAP 9 software further increases space savings to up to 70:1 for VDI workloads. It is particularly effective for volume update operations such as VDI OS patches.
- Advanced SSD partitioning with the latest ONTAP 9 release further increases usable capacity by almost 20%.
NetApp OnCommand management software provides automated tools to further simplify management of storage operations:
- With SAN- and NAS-optimized pre-configurations and the fast provisioning workflow, it takes less than 10 minutes to set up All Flash FAS systems and start serving application data.
- OnCommand Performance Manager enables informed workload provisioning and rebalancing by monitoring performance headroom to assure clusters and nodes are not loaded beyond the optimal operating point.
- OnCommand Workflow Automation automates common storage tasks such as provisioning and data protection. It provides fast, one-click automation and self-service.
All Flash FAS is data fabric ready—you can easily move data between tiers and different clouds.
Unified Flash Future-Proofs Investments
With All Flash FAS, your investment is protected if your performance and capacity needs change or if your cloud strategy evolves in the future:
- All Flash FAS systems eliminate performance silos. They seamlessly integrate with hybrid FAS systems in an ONTAP environment, providing a high-performance tier. With nondisruptive operations, workloads can be transparently moved to the storage tier that best meets your requirements.
- Seamless scale-out lets you reach new heights, with up to 4 million IOPS and 367PB of effective capacity in a single cluster.
- All Flash FAS is data fabric ready, with proven cloud connectivity. You can easily move data between the cloud and All Flash FAS for maximum performance and return on investment.
- Industry-leading ecosystem integration offers a broad set of applications that All Flash FAS supports, allowing the flexibility to add or change workloads as needed.
