9. Flash Pool Benefits
 A Flash Pool consists of:
– An aggregate of 1 or more HDD RAID
groups; Plus a RAID group of SSDs
 Performance acceleration with aggregate-
level, read and write cache
 OLTP use case - moved entire workload
from SAS to SATA
Performance Capacity
– 46% lower cost per TB
– 50% more storage capacity +
– Similar IOPS ((± 2%) HDD
 Only vendor offering this approach in the Flash Pool
entry-level storage market
 Easy to implement with no disruptions
 Lowers cost per IOP

10. Introducing NetApp Flash Accel
Flexible Deployment
Software only, compatible with any
server PCI-e flash or SSD drive
Choose your own flash device
Sustainable High Performance
Intelligent data coherency: block-level
invalidation rather than flush entire cache
Persistent and durable cache across
VM / server reboots
Deep ONTAP integration
Extend ONTAP footprint in the server
