Disk Shelves and Storage Media

NetApp® disk shelves and storage media provide flexibility, reliability, and cross-platform leverage; the enterprise-class resiliency and availability you expect; plus our leading storage efficiencies.

NetApp offers a range of storage media from high-capacity SATA disk drives to high-performing SAS disk drives, plus extreme performance options using solid state technology. When most vendors of networked storage are just getting started integrating SAS drives into their product lines, we are marking our third generation with the DS2246 disk shelf. Our extreme performance options include SSDs for your most demanding applications or our fully automated Flash Cache to reduce average latency and increase I/O throughput for data stored on any disk drive.

Our family of disk shelves delivers:

Enterprise-class resiliency and availability
Flexibility to use across our unified storage systems
Nondisruptive controller upgrades, protecting your investment
Industry-leading storage efficiency with Data ONTAP®

NetApp Disk Shelves and Storage Media

Key Points:
