What is the difference between
AFF A-series and AFF C-series?
NetApp AFF A-Series
Ideal for business-critical workloads requiring the highest levels of performance and split-second response times. It is the only all-flash array to combine multiple controllers, SSD sizes and the latest technologies. NVMe-based AFF systems also support SAS SSDs for maximum flexibility and cost-effectiveness when modernizing your IT infrastructure.
NetApp AFF C-Series
Ideal for accommodating performance-hungry workloads and large data volumes on a tight budget with the latest QLC flash technology. C-Series AFF systems can free up to 95% of rack space and reduce power costs by up to 85% compared to hybrid flash systems.
