NetApp E2800 Brings Affordable Performance and Simplicity
Are you finding it challenging to manage your increasing data needs? You aren’t alone.
Most small and medium-sized enterprises have to deal with it. The data threats can be both internal and external, and you need the right storage solution.
While hard drive crashes are often a source of concern, businesses do not want to store important information on the cloud. Just hosting servers on their own isn’t always the right answer either.
For one, companies have to look at significant maintenance expenses. Businesses need the assurance of reliable performance and affordable ways of delivery, but managing data gets increasingly complex; organizations also have to deal with limited power, resources, and space.
The NetApp E2800 hybrid flash storage system promises to resolve the pain points related to data and help small and medium-sized organizations meet their data needs.
NetApp E2800 Hybrid Flash Storage System
The E2800 comes with a low cost of ownership and also a low acquisition cost. With its help, enterprises can streamline their IT infrastructure and cut back costs. The solution can be used as a pay-as-you-grow model and provides much-needed flexibility to the organization. Enterprises can meet the challenges of unpredictable and rapid data growth with its implementation.
The E2800 series has been specifically engineered to tackle the needs of mixed workloads and does not add virtualization layers or files in the I/O data nodes like other storage solutions. Companies can derive value from their data and take instant actions as the E2800 optimizes throughput and IOPS.
Maintenance and configuration are turned into a simple process as the E2800 comes with an intuitive and user-friendly graphic interface. It delivers enterprise standard storage capacity that provides data integrity, security, reliability and consistent performance.
Enhanced Performance
The E2800 hybrid system supports any workload while optimizing the performance and price. Organizations can maximize storage density to meet the performance objectives with high performing SSDs or solid-state drives.
– The storage system is able to support a wide range of high-speed host interfaces and around 300K sustained IOPS to secure investment in the 10Gb iSCSI, 16Gb FC and 12Gb SAS storage network.
– Read-intensive workloads can perform with efficiency as the SSD cache feature comes with caching capabilities which are based on intelligent analytics.
– Hot data gets cached by utilizing lower latency and high-performance SSDs located in the drive shelves while the full dataset is stored on the HDDs.
There is also no need to create complicated policies to setup the initiation for data exchanges between the tiers- the IT department can just set it and not worry about it. Each storage system also comes with SSD cache that can be expanded to 5 TB.
Unparallel Simplicity
If you’re looking to become more productive, you need to be able to manage your data storage needs seamlessly.
The E2800 is shipped with a modular design and comes with simple management tools for organizations to scale up, without experiencing any management complexity. SANtricity System Manager GUI is provided with the appliance and enables organizations to streamline the deployment using the browser-based interface. Enterprises can implement it quickly and start accessing their data in just a matter of 10 minutes.
– The NetApp SANtricity software is offered with a host of comprehensive features and unparallel ease of use.
– Organizations can create their own workload-appropriate provisioning or use the one provided with SANtricity System Manager.
– RAID management is significantly simplified using the Dynamic Disk Pools (DDP) technology which distributes parity, data and additional capacity on a pool of drives.
– It also comes with minimal decision making, intelligent defaults and zero stranded capacity after deletions are performed.
Organizations have the choice of using both traditional RAID volumes and DPP in a single E2800 if required.
