New deployments of server platforms, CPUs, operating systems and enterprise applications are driving IT leaders to rebalance their data center infrastructure and storage performance is a key success factor with these upgrades, said George Kurian, executive vice president of Product Operations at NetApp. Our new high-performance all-flash EF560 is exactly what enterprises need to serve their customers faster and provide a better overall user experience.
Additionally, the company introduced the new NetApp E5600 hybrid array which leverages the flash optimizations of the EF560 in hybrid configurations using both solid-state drives and conventional disk drives. The hybrid E5600 storage array delivers increased performance and reliability for more capacity-intensive SAN applications including data warehousing, email and backup.
According to Leah Schoeb, senior partner and analyst, Evaluator Group, The flash-based storage market has shown incredible growth over the past year as the solutions available continue to evolve to meet the demands of today's enterprise applications.

The new SPC-1 Result also confirmed that at 50 percent of the specified SPC-1 load level the EF560 delivers an impressive 122,491.97 SPC-1 IOPS at an average response time of 0.34 milliseconds.
NetApp E5600 Hybrid Array-The E5600 is the newest hybrid entry in the E-Series family offering a mix of flash and disk to provide cost-effective performance for more capacity-intensive applications such as email, SharePoint, HPC, OLAP, data warehouse and video. The E5600 seamlessly scales to petabytes.
Both the all-flash EF560 and the hybrid E5600 are supported with the latest NetApp SANtricity 8.20 software. NetApp SANtricity 8.20 features multicore performance and online disk firmware upgrades. And, for database administrators, the all-flash EF560 and hybrid E5600 also offer integration with database management software including Oracle Enterprise Manager , VMware vSphere , Microsoft Systems Center and Splunk .
