BOULDER, CO--(Marketwired - June 02, 2016) -#NetApp #SolidFire (NASDAQ: NTAP), the leader in all-flash storage systems built for the Next Generation Data Center, today announced #FlashForward Capacity Licensing, an entirely new storage model that offers unparalleled flexibility, investment protection and peace of mind for how customers purchase and grow their storage infrastructure. FlashForward Capacity Licensing complements SolidFire's market-leading scale-out block storage architecture with a flexible enterprise-wide software licensing and support model that is precisely aligned with how service providers and advanced enterprises are looking to purchase and consume storage infrastructure.
FlashForward Capacity Licensing extends new software licensing rights to SolidFire customers, including the right to perpetually transfer software across multiple generations of hardware at no additional cost, and the ability to pool software licensing across an enterprise's entire storage footprint. With FlashForward Capacity Licensing, customers can now combine the simplicity of purchasing SolidFire SF-Series Appliances at commodity hardware costs with the flexibility of licensing NetApp SolidFire Element OS on an enterprise-wide basis. FlashForward software and support licenses are purchased in capacity increments (starting at 100TBs) that cover a pooled amount of capacity across an unlimited number of SolidFire systems. This model allows customers to license SolidFire's software in greater alignment with the dynamic and growing nature of their business.
