  • Netapp Data Storage

    NetApp’s portfolio includes, among others: solutions enabling secure data storage, a whole range of services related to the management of collected information, its security and subsequent use, and cloud space adapted to the needs of organizations of all sizes.

    Thanks to the Gold Partner status, we can provide our customers with NetApp arrays, giving them the opportunity to choose from many available options. We not only implement, but also support in selecting appropriate components and smoothly completing the digital transformation process or modernization of existing infrastructure.

    Netapp partner

    NetApp is ranked number one by Gartner in data storage and cloud operations.

    NetApp data storage

    Together with NetApp, we build dynamic environments for collecting and storing data, appropriate to the pace of technological progress. We specialize primarily in providing and implementing solutions based on AllFlash and HybridFlash arrays.

    Today, even small companies can produce huge amounts of data and have their own data center infrastructure, and large corporations do not have to have very complicated infrastructure and complex requirements. To find out for whom a given solution will work best, it is worth taking a closer look at its technical data and the intended use suggested by the manufacturer. You can also talk to Grandmetric engineers who are experienced in designing and configuring high-performance, high-availability environments.

    Before we move on to a detailed description of individual NetApp devices, it is worth paying attention to their common features.

    Flexibility

    They can be used in almost any organization, and their construction allows for easy installation in existing spaces.

    Decent price

    Thanks to know-how and focusing on proven solutions, NetApp can offer trustworthy products at an affordable price.

    Security

    The manufacturer knows the threats that organizations face, which is why most devices are equipped with at least basic protection systems.

    All Flash Arrays

    NetApp AFF C-Series

    Their small size makes the NetApp C series arrays very mobile, and if necessary, they can be easily mounted in a rack. Much more efficient than standard drives, they are the golden mean between speed and capacity.

    The most important benefits

    • Quick return on investment by reducing energy costs by up to 85%
    • Simplified scaling
    • A step towards lowering your carbon footprint
    • Built-in protection
    • Compact dimensions

    NetApp AFF C-Series arrays are perfect for organizations that need something more than standard memory, but at the same time do not want to invest a fortune in infrastructure or external cloud solutions. However, if such a cloud already exists, thanks to its compatibility, you can easily transfer data to a virtual environment.

    An increasingly important feature from the organization’s point of view is low energy consumption. Compared to Hybrid Flash devices, maintenance costs, i.e. cooling and power supply, are reduced by up to 85%.

    People who value security will find built-in protection against ransomware and application verification.

    FAS arrays

    In addition to the balance of capacity and performance, the greatest advantage of FAS Storage is the ONTAP software that facilitates data management. It allows you to process even large amounts of unstructured information and manage disaster recovery and backup processes.

    What is most appreciated by customers is the value for money, which makes them the first choice for organizations that are taking their business to the next level or have increased demand. Over a million implementations have already proven great trust and effectiveness.

    The most important benefits

    • High availability
    • Intuitive software
    • Scalability
    • Integration with the cloud environment
    • Safety in line with international standards

    High availability and the possibility of ongoing updates ensure business continuity and there is no need to turn off the systems during their modernization. This is especially important in organizations that must be available 24 hours a day and lack a window for maintenance work.

    FAS arrays are highly scalable and also allow you to easily add or remove additional devices.

    NetApp E-Series arrays

    NetApp E-series arrays, sold in over a million units, owe their popularity to their simplicity, reliability and price. They are particularly popular among small and medium-sized companies that, considering their size, have high requirements in terms of data processing, storing e.g. images from monitoring or other sources, or have complex applications dedicated to their business.

    Usage scenarios:

    • big data analysis
    • video monitoring
    • high performance computing (HPC)
    • backup and data recovery

    The most important benefits

    • Low purchase costs
    • Reliability
    • Availability 99.99999%
    • Simplicity of management

    Another way to use it is to backup and restore data. For many companies, they are a backup to their daily operations because they provide high quality at a low cost.

    They also perform well in terms of performance, with which even moderately demanding customers are satisfied.
