NetApp provides an enterprise-grade all-flash storage solution called AFF (All Flash FAS) that delivers flash performance and data services. SolidFire is another all-flash storage platform in NetApp's portfolio that is designed for large-scale infrastructure and can guarantee performance to thousands of applications through its quality of service features. The document discusses the benefits of flash storage and how NetApp's solutions help customers transform their data centers and lower costs through flash innovation like inline data compaction in ONTAP 9.

16. Inline data compaction—new in NetApp ONTAP 9
 Places multiple logical data blocks from the same volume into a single 4KB block
on storage
 Occurs after inline adaptive compression and inline deduplication, before writing to media
 Benefits
 Additional space savings for highly compressible data
 Space savings for very small I/Os and files (≤2KB) and for larger I/Os that have extensive “white
space”
 Provides 2 to 4 times the space savings that are achieved from inline compression alone for
database workloads—as high as 67:1 as a combined savings from compression and compaction
NetApp continues to innovate beyond compression and deduplication

23. Can your all-flash array do this?
Deploy from bare metal to OS to OpenStack or VI
in 90 minutes (that’s compute, networking, and storage)?
Deploy 1000s of virtual machines without even looking at a
disk or controller configurations (dial it in and/or set policies)?
Implement VDI, databases, and test/dev on the same array
without any effect on each other (no noisy neighbors)?
