NetApp AFF C190 Review (Editor's Choice Award Winner!)

The NetApp C190 is the company’s all-flash unified storage array aimed at both SMBs and edge use cases. It is a 2U dual-controller platform that features everything ONTAP has to offer. Smaller and new customers will be pleased to find that the C190 is easy to set up and manage with the company claiming workloads can be provisioned in fewer than 10 minutes.

The NetApp AFF C190 brings the deep and long-standing enterprise data features from ONTAP to a new, smaller capacity platform. It is designed as a channel play, getting NetApp solutions out to a much wider audience. This is a pretty big deal for NetApp for a variety of reasons. Primary amongst them is that many don’t realize that a system like this can be purchased for under $20K. NetApp channel partners now have an enterprise system to go fight in the crowded entry-storage marketing place that’s dominated by NAS systems or rebadged storage controllers. For existing NetApp customers, the C190 gives them a low-cost solution to place at the edge, while maintaining the same ONTAP platform for management.

At the end of the day, the C190 is a really smart release from NetApp. The C190 delivers here with a platform that’s inexpensive, yet rich in data services. This combo, paired with strong performance, makes the C190 one of our favorites in the entry-storage market.
