Episode 412 - Disaggregated ONTAP (aka NetApp AFX)

B2Upper-intermediateMay 18, 202638 min

In this episode, Arindam Banerjee and Jeff Baxter join us to discuss disaggregated ONTAP, also known as AFX. We discuss how disaggregated ONTAP separates storage compute from storage capacity, allowing customers to scale performance and capacity independently. This architecture is designed for modern workloads such as AI, machine learning, EDA, media and entertainment, and large-scale unstructured data environments.

Data silos are one of the biggest obstacles when it comes to scaling out NAS and object storage. Not only do they complicate data management, but they can also inhibit performance and limit how far you could scale. This week on the Tech On Tap podcast, we're talking about Disaggregated On Tap, also known as AFX, NetApp's next evolution of On Tap architecture.

We'll break down what it means to separate storage compute from capacity and why that matters for AI, EDA, media and other high performance workloads. Plus we can do this all while ONTAP keeps the data management, security, and reliability customers already love. So stick around and find out more.
