"As businesses contend with ever-increasing data volumes and performance-intensive applications such as AI model training, AI inferencing and high-performance computing, they need infrastructure that delivers speed, scalability and efficiency without added complexity."
"The EF50 and EF80 deliver over 110 GBps of read throughput and 55 GBps of write throughput. That is 250 percent more than the previous generation. With a power efficiency of 63.7 GBps per kilowatt and 1.5 petabytes of storage in a 2U chassis, the hardware offers high rack density without introducing additional management complexity."
"The EF-Series plays a different role than NetApp's other product lines. While AFF and ASA systems offer unified file, block, and object storage, the EF-Series focuses exclusively on block storage for maximum performance."
NetApp introduced the EF50 and EF80 high-performance storage systems designed for AI training, HPC, and transactional databases. These systems deliver over 110 GBps read throughput and 55 GBps write throughput, representing a 250% improvement over the previous generation. With power efficiency of 63.7 GBps per kilowatt and 1.5 petabytes of storage capacity in a 2U chassis, the systems provide high rack density without additional management complexity. The EF50 and EF80 integrate with Lustre and BeeGFS parallel file systems, enabling immediate deployment as high-performance scratch space for HPC simulations while maintaining optimal GPU utilization. These systems complement NetApp's broader storage portfolio by focusing exclusively on block storage for maximum performance in throughput-intensive environments.
