NetApp EF600 Storage Array Speeds HPC and Analytics

Today NetApp announced the NetApp EF600 storage array. The EF600 is an end-to-end NVMe midrange array that accelerates access to data and empowers companies to rapidly develop new insights for performance-sensitive workloads. "The storage industry is currently transitioning from the SAS to the NVMe protocol, which significantly increases the speed of access to data," said Tim Stammers, senior analyst, 451 Research. "But conventional storage systems do not fully exploit NVMe performance, because of latencies imposed by their main controllers. NetApp's E-Series systems were designed to address this architectural issue and are already used widely in performance-sensitive applications. The EF600 sets a new level of performance for the E-Series by introducing end-to-end support for NVMe, and should be considered by IT organizations looking for high-speed storage to serve analytics and other data-intensive applications."
