NetApp unveils fastest file system on the planet with great raft of other announcements

The system is built to exceed 100 TB/sec and support high utilization of hundreds of thousands of GPUs for AI workloads.

  • NetApp launched the Novus file system, delivering 100 TB/sec of throughput designed to maximize GPU utilization for large-scale AI factories and enterprise deployments.
  • Traditional storage architectures cause GPU utilization to drop below 30 percent when AI factories cannot feed sufficient data to compute resources. Novus separates metadata from the data path to enable independent scaling of performance, capacity, and concurrency.
  • NetApp collaborated with Supermicro to deliver Novus Data Director software running on qualified server infrastructure with ONTAP enterprise data services on AFF A90 systems. This architecture is designed to support hundreds of thousands of GPUs while preserving existing data management features.
  • Omdia Chief Analyst Tony Palmer validated the architecture, noting near-linear performance scaling and projecting capacity to reach zettascale deployments. NetApp positions Novus against high-performance competitors like WEKA and VAST Data in the AI factory storage market.
  • NetApp also introduced Keystone Sovereign with regional data controls for European customers and announced deepened integrations for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Strategic acquisitions like Peak:AIO enable the company's installed base to adopt AI functionality within the familiar ONTAP environment.
