Vector Data AFF A250 AFA Storage System

Vector Data, a manufacturer of rugged, carrier-grade and custom computing systems, announced the availability of the Vault AFF A250 in its storage portfolio.

Joining the Vault AFF A800 and others, the Vault AFF A250 all-flash end-to-end NVMe system offers telcos the storage performance to accelerate their business-critical application needs, the security and reliability to keep customer data highly available and secure, and the simplicity and flexibility that agile organizations require.

Available with 48V DC or 100-240V AC power supplies, the Vault AFF A250 can be deployed at any sites, including central office, edge and RAN. Vault A250 is also available with optional NEBS Level 3, ETSI and ATT-TP-76200 certifications and other global telecom certifications. The Vault AFF A250 has been tested in high and low temperatures, humid and dusty environments and has passed earthquake, shock and vibration testing and many other rigorous tests.

Based on the NetApp AFF A250 storage appliance, Vault AFF A250 utilizes a 2U short-depth chassis small enough to be deployed at edge or RAN sites. An optional dust filtering bezel allows the system to be deployed in dusty environments. The system supports 24 internal NVMe disks and an additional 24 NVMe disks with a 2U expansion shelf.

Powered by NetApp ONTAP software with Kubernetes and OpenStack compatibility, the Vault AFF A250 is a choice for 5G and NFV deployments. Ransomware protection, S3 compatibility, storage efficiencies including compression and de-dupe, mirroring and space-efficient data cloning are some of its features.
