What is NetApp E-Series Storage?

NetApp E-Series Storage is a high-performance and highly scalable storage system designed to meet the demands of high-throughput workloads, including databases, virtualization, and high-performance computing (HPC). E-Series storage is designed to deliver consistent high performance for both random and sequential workload while supporting demanding workloads such as database operations, virtualization environments, and big data analytics. They integrate easily with different applications and workflows, and can be used as primary storage for enterprise applications or as a back-end for cloud storage solutions.

Why Monitor NetApp E-Series Storage?

In case of system issues or outages, having detailed logs and performance metrics allows administrators to analyze the timeline of events and identify precisely when and why the problem occurred, speeding up troubleshooting. Continuous monitoring allows administrators to track critical performance metrics, such as IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second), throughput, and latency. This ensures that the system is operating within expected performance thresholds and helps identify performance bottlenecks early. For this purpose, eG Enterprise offers a specialized NetApp E-Series Storage monitoring model.
