Comprehensive enterprise-grade data platform for AI

DNVN - NetApp on October 23 announced a series of new breakthrough products to enhance enterprise-grade data platforms and promote innovation in the field of artificial intelligence (AI).

As the AI ​​era moves from the experimental stage to mission-critical agent applications, having AI-ready data on a modern, enterprise-grade infrastructure becomes key to delivering real-world results for AI-driven organizations.

The new NetApp AFX system decouples performance and storage with a disaggregated NetApp ONTAP architecture, running on the new NetApp AFX 1K storage system. NetApp AI Data Engine is a unified and secure extension of ONTAP, integrated with NVIDIA's AI Data Platform reference design, to help organizations simplify and secure the entire AI data process – all managed through a unified console.

With NetApp AFX and AI Data Engine, NetApp's data platform ensures all relevant data is always AI-ready.

The combination of NetApp AFX and AI Data Engine unifies high-performance storage with intelligent data services in a unified, secure, and scalable solution, accelerating next-generation AI deployments across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

To accelerate modern AI workloads, NetApp is introducing a range of new features:

NetApp AFX: This is an enterprise-grade all-flash storage system with a disaggregated architecture, specifically designed for demanding AI workloads. NetApp AFX is the core data platform for AI factories. It is a certified storage solution for the NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD supercomputer, powered by NetApp ONTAP.

NetApp AI Data Engine (AIDE): NetApp AIDE is a comprehensive AI data service designed to help businesses simplify, save costs, and secure AI deployments. From data collection and preparation to serving GenAI applications, AIDE provides a holistic, real-time view of a customer's entire NetApp data asset, enables rapid data discovery and organization, and seamlessly connects data to any model or tool in both on-premises and public cloud environments.

Object API – Seamless access to Azure Data and AI services: Customers can now access Azure NetApp Files data via the Object REST API, currently in public preview. This new feature eliminates the need for customers to move or copy file data to a separate object store when using Azure services.

Enhanced global unified namespace in Microsoft Azure: Enterprises can now seamlessly consolidate their entire global data assets between cloud and on-premises environments in Microsoft Azure, thanks to the new FlexCache feature on Azure NetApp Files.
