December 06 2016 - 8:00AM
NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel
Company, named its SolidFire SF-Series 19210 and E2800 as finalists
in the 2016 Product of the Year Awards in the Enterprise Storage
and Midrange Storage categories. Recognized products represent
best-in-breed technological innovation as judged by CRN editors and
the solution provider community at large.
The NetApp SolidFire SF-Series 19210 decreases the cost of
all-flash arrays by offering the highest density and lowest cost
per GB/IOPS, making it well-suited for heavily virtualized and
cloud infrastructures. The SF-Series 19210 delivers the full NetApp
SolidFire feature set, including guaranteed Quality of Service
(QoS), a true scale-out architecture, in-line data reduction,
complete system automation and integration with VMware and
OpenStack. The NetApp E2800 is an entry-level all-flash array
designed for midsize businesses and remote offices that need a
simple and cost-effective solution to support data analytics
applications. Customers can reduce costs by roughly 35 percent and
boost performance 300,00 IOPS giving them affordable storage to
move data among hot, warm, cold and frozen storage tiers.
In 2016, for the first time, the top five finalists in 17
different Products of the Year technology categories were selected
by CRN editors, while solution providers themselves rated those
finalists to determine the winner. The Channel Company surveyed
solution provider partners working with each of the finalists,
asking them to rate the products on Technology, Revenue and Profit,
and Customer Demand. The survey garnered over 5,000 responses.
Solution providers considered a number of factors in determining
their ratings, including product quality and reliability, technical
innovation, ease of integration, potential to drive revenue, and
fulfillment of market and customer demands.
“CRN’s Products of the Year certainly bring laudable innovations
to market, but they represent much more than technical prowess
alone," said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. “These
valuable products stand at the intersection of technological
excellence, outstanding profit potential and high customer demand.
Solution providers will find that our 2016 Products of the Year
list serves as a valuable, one-of-a-kind guide to the all-around
best new products in today’s IT marketplace.”
“The next generation data center requires a different
technological approach. SolidFire’s innovative design was created
with this in mind, and complements our leading Flash portfolio
including the E2800,” said Bill Lipsin, vice president, Global
Channels at NetApp. “CRN’s recognition of these NetApp products
reinforces the excitement we are hearing from our customers and
partners who depend on NetApp for consistent quality and
reliability.”
