About the NetApp AFF C30 Capacity Flash Storage System

The NetApp AFF C30 is a QLC flash-based capacity array designed to consolidate hybrid storage workloads onto a single all-flash platform. Built on NetApp's proven ONTAP operating system, the C30 delivers cost-effective performance for capacity-intensive, sequential-access workloads while maintaining the operational simplicity and data management capabilities of the AFF family.

The system employs QLC NAND technology to achieve per-terabyte economics comparable to hybrid arrays, eliminating the performance limitations and management complexity of disk-based tiering. The C30 supports NAS (NFS/SMB), SAN (FC/iSCSI), and object-based access protocols, enabling organizations to consolidate multiple storage silos onto unified infrastructure.

Designed for workloads including unstructured data repositories, archival-class analytics, backup targets, and content repositories, the AFF C30 scales horizontally to petabyte capacity while maintaining consistent ONTAP management tools, SnapMirror replication, and Snapshot efficiency across the fleet.

Ideal for

  • Large-scale unstructured data repositories and file analytics requiring petabyte-class capacity at all-flash performance
  • Backup and disaster recovery targets consolidating multiple hybrid arrays onto a single all-flash tier
  • Data lake and object-store backing for machine learning and big data workloads with sequential I/O patterns
  • Medical imaging, genomic sequencing, and scientific research data management requiring reliable capacity storage
  • Content distribution and media asset management systems serving high-volume file retrieval
  • Regulatory compliance and long-term data retention with snapshot-based protection and immutable copies
