Built for Small Sites and ROBO
Compact and Budget-Friendly
A 2U chassis and 6-node maximum scale-out keep cost and footprint down for small sites, while still running full NetApp ONTAP.
Enterprise Security, Any Size Site
Real-time, AI/ML-based ransomware detection designed for 99%+ accuracy protects remote and branch locations just like the data center.
Consistent Data Management
Run the same ONTAP software as NetApp's largest systems, so remote sites are managed with the same tools, policies, and automation as headquarters.
Up to 18.8PB Effective Capacity
Scale to 144 SSDs without outgrowing a compact 2U footprint, ideal for departmental file shares, backup targets, and virtualization.
