NETAPP E4060/E4012

Leverage flash in an affordable hybrid system for a wide range of mixed workloads.

The NetApp E4060 and E4012 are entry-level products with enterprise-level redundancy, automated management, and field-proven availability.

A modern, on-box, browser-based GUI enables you to get access to your data in under 10 minutes, with simple, flexible administration.

NetApp SANtricity DDP technology enables storage administrators to simplify RAID management, improve data protection, and maintain predictable performance under all conditions. DDP technology evenly distributes data, protection information, and spare capacity across the entire pool of drives, simplifying setup and maximizing use. This innovative technology minimizes the performance impact of a drive failure and can return the system to optimal condition up to 8x faster than traditional RAID. With shorter rebuild times and patented technology to prioritize reconstruction, DDP capabilities significantly reduce exposure to multiple disk failures, offering a level of data protection that simply can't be achieved with traditional RAID.

With SANtricity software, all management tasks can be performed while the storage remains online with complete read/write data access. Storage administrators can make configuration changes, conduct maintenance, or expand the storage capacity without disrupting I/O to attached hosts. SANtricity software online capabilities include:

• Dynamic Disk Pool allows for easy capacity increases and decreases.
• Dynamic volume expansion enables administrators to increase the capacity of an existing volume.
• Dynamic segment size migration enables administrators to change the segment size of a given volume.
• Dynamic RAID-level migration changes the RAID level of a RAID group on the existing drives without requiring the relocation of data. Supported RAID levels are 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10.
• All firmware updates (controller, drive, IOM) are nondisruptive, with no interruption to data access.

To protect against data loss and downtime events, both locally and over long distances, the E4060 and E4012 offer integrated data protection features including:

• NetApp Snapshot technology. Create and restore point-in-time copies of datasets in less than a second to protect against accidental data loss on the local array.
• Volume copy. Create a complete physical copy (clone) of a volume for applications that require a full point-in-time copy of production data.
• Asynchronous mirroring. Volume replication over FC to a remote site keeps your business operations running no matter what happens.
• Synchronous mirroring. Continuous volume replication is enabled over FC at campus distances.

With the E4060 and E4012 arrays, you can easily replicate data to another E4060, E4012, or other NetApp E-Series system. With this capability, you can create a high-speed, low-latency recovery system that runs at the same speed as your production operations. This flexibility in design allows you to choose the profile of performance and cost to meet your business requirements.

All E-Series systems use "85% PLUS" power supplies, exceeding the EPA ENERGY STAR requirement of 80% efficiency. See the latest EPA ENERGY STAR–certified E-Series configurations.

All E-Series systems meet the certification requirements of ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers), a global society that advances human well-being through sustainable technology built for the environment:

• E4060 and E4012 are ASHRAE A2 compliant
• DE460C and DE212C are ASHRAE A3 compliant
