Welcome to the Episode 147, part of the continuing series called “Behind the Scenes of the NetApp Tech ONTAP Podcast.”

This week on the podcast, we find out how the new NetApp A800 system fared in the rigorous SPC-1 v3 storage benchmarks. Can the NVMe attached SSDs truly help reduce latency while maintaining high number of IOPs? Performance TME Dan Isaacs (@danisaacs) and the workload engineering team of Scott Lane, Jim Laing and Joe Scott join us to discuss!
