About the NetApp ONTAP S3 Unified SSD Shelf NS224 NVMe
The NetApp ONTAP S3 Unified SSD Shelf NS224 NVMe delivers the efficiency and density required for mission-critical all-flash storage environments, with dual hot-swap redundant power supplies and active-active shelf module architecture that eliminates single points of failure. Built on NetApp's proven ONTAP architecture, this 2U rack-mount shelf combines 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch NVMe SSD bays with high-speed 100GbE NVMe-oF connectivity, making it an ideal choice for storage architects and enterprise IT procurement teams seeking reliable, scalable capacity without compromise.
The NS224-SHL leverages two NSM100 shelf modules operating in dual-path, active-active redundancy, each equipped with 2 × 100GbE QSFP28 ports for NVMe over RoCE (NVMe-oF) transport. Management is handled entirely in-band via NetApp ONTAP—no dedicated management port required—ensuring streamlined deployment across AFF A-Series and AFF C-Series controllers running ONTAP 9.6 or later. Hot-swap support extends to both individual drives and entire NSM100 modules, enabling non-disruptive maintenance and field upgrades. The shelf operates reliably across standard data center temperature ranges (0°C to 35°C) and meets stringent regulatory standards including FCC, CE, VCCI, RCM, and UL/CSA certification. For organizations building hyper-converged, high-performance storage infrastructure, the NS224 NVMe SSD Shelf delivers the redundancy, density, and operational simplicity required at scale.
