The foundation of any enterprise application is a storage platform that delivers maximum availability with maximum performance. Features such as convenient backups or online cloning are helpful, but aren't usable unless the foundation itself is enterprise-class.
This session will review the core features of a NetApp AFF SAN from a reliability and performance perspective, looking at a complete enterprise application environment. Most important, this means nonstop data availability, including recovery from catastrophic controller failures, code upgrades, and complete hardware refreshes. AFF systems deliver six 9s of availability. You can do online migration, and even complete hardware array upgrades, non-disruptively. We'll also cover disaster recovery scenarios, where datasets must be replicated to a remote location (including the cloud), as well as performance and recovery scenarios. Finally, we'll discuss the benefits of NVMe/FC, your next-generation SAN, now available on NetApp ONTAP.
