NetApp EF-Series All Flash Arrays Reviews & Insights

NetApp EF-Series All Flash Arrays used for data analytics and other high performance application and data base. Its great storage which provide the high IOP's for read intensive application and database and its well managed the all business problems where application and database need high bandwidth of IOP's.

NetApp EF-Series All Flash Array is well designed for application and database for that required high bandwidth, IOP's like data analysis, online transection processing application, fast data backup and restore.

NetApp EF-Series All Flash Arrays for data analytics and for other high performance applications , its great storage provides high IOP's for read-intensive applications ,basically its used in business problems , where application needs high bandwidth of IOP's with simple, fast, reliable enterprise level SAN storage. The scope of this storage in our case to to provide high IOP's to analytics and video surveillance application servers

NetApp EF-Series All Flash Arrays is useful for the application that required high badwidth , IOP's like Video surveillance, analytics (hadoop), online transaction processing applications, fast data backup and restore. NetApp EF-Series All Flash Arrays is less appropriate for the application that required low/medium IOP's . i.e log collection application server, snapshot collection ... etc.

My customer use this NAS storage devices for bronze application servers (mainly VMs on ESX clusters with important databases). EF- series deliver microsecond response to client's most demanding DBs and maximum uptime. EF-series purchase from NetApp was decided directly by customer architects, and as the devices are powered by NetApp® SANtricity software to give extensive configuration flexibility and custom performance tuning, this was definitely good choice. NetApp here offers ONTAP9 SW and on client environment we use FlexArray Virtualisation as well, becasue ONTAP can integrate with almost any third-party hardware. So, generally, solution for my customer touches virtualization of the environment in 4 regions with most demanded DBs. Globally, likewise for these devices, NetApp come from a larger non-hyperconverged storage family.

NetApp EF-Series All Flash Arrays should be used for critical system backups, databases, for critical applications due to different write allocation algorithms. These systems have faster underlying SSD drives comparing to older types, so in result, Inline data de-duplication in these systems are not noticeable. The idea for these types is valuable for MetroCluster configuration within switchover, in terms of disaster recovery. Performance and response time of EF-series are really exceptional, but comparing to the costs this the rpice for it.
