The NetApp AFF-A700 is a high-performance all-flash storage system built for large-scale enterprise workloads requiring speed, scalability, and efficiency. With an 8U chassis and dual controllers in an HA configuration, it features 1024GB of memory and four 64-bit, 18-core processors running at 2.30 GHz. Supporting up to 480 drives and a maximum capacity of 14.68PB, it is ideal for high-speed data processing, cloud infrastructure, and AI-driven applications.
Designed for flexibility, the system includes 24 IO module expansion slots, allowing for customized network and storage configurations. It supports DS224C, NS224, and NS224 w/ NSM100B disk shelves for seamless capacity expansion. Without built-in Ethernet, Fibre Channel, or UTA2 ports, connectivity depends on installed IO modules, providing tailored solutions for enterprise needs.
Measuring 14.02 inches in height, 19.02 inches in width with flanges, and 36.81 inches in depth with cable management, the AFF-A700 weighs up to 214.5 lbs. Supporting RAID 4, RAID 6 (RAID-DP), and RAID-TEC, it ensures enterprise-grade data protection. With remote management capabilities, NVMe SSD support, and modular expansion, it delivers the performance and reliability needed for demanding storage environments.
