About the NetApp AFF C90
The NetApp AFF C90 delivers the sub-millisecond latency and multi-million IOPS throughput that modern SLAs demand from flash storage infrastructure. Built on QLC NVMe SSD technology and powered by NetApp ONTAP, the AFF-C90 combines high-density capacity with active-active controller redundancy to eliminate single points of failure—critical for storage architects and IT procurement teams managing tier-1 workloads across hybrid cloud environments.
This 2U controller pair operates as a high-availability cluster, supporting seven storage protocols simultaneously: NFS, SMB/CIFS, FC, iSCSI, NVMe/FC, NVMe/TCP, and S3 object. NetApp's inline data efficiency stack—deduplication, compression, compaction, and FlexClone—maximizes utilization across both virtual and containerized infrastructure. RAID-TEC and RAID-DP protection, combined with SnapMirror, SnapVault, and SnapLock compliance modes, ensure recovery and regulatory adherence. Encryption is enforced through self-encrypting drives, NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE), and Aggregate Encryption (NAE), with FIPS 140-2 compliance built in. Scale horizontally by clustering multiple systems within ONTAP, or connect NS224 NVMe drive shelves for capacity expansion. Management spans NetApp ONTAP System Manager, NetApp BlueXP for hybrid cloud orchestration, REST API, and CLI—giving teams flexibility across VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Red Hat OpenShift, and Kubernetes CSI environments.
