Evaluate at your scale
Describe what you are planning and how your data is handled today. The guide asks a few questions and gives you three readings on whether your data is secure, servable, and recoverable for AI, with the gaps to close first.
e.g. I want to build a sales agent
Or start with

INDEPENDENT, LINEAR SCALE
Unlike other NetApp ONTAP storage systems, the compute and storage elements of an AFX cluster are decoupled and joined through a switched network.
AI BEYOND LIMITS
NetApp AFX disaggregated storage and NetApp AI Data Engine (AIDE) provide a unified foundation that
powers your AI factory with scalable performance, built-in governance, and real-time data intelligence.
AIDE uses automated change detection and synchronization to maintain a single, always-current view of your data.
Automatically protect sensitive data with policy-driven guardrails, enforce access controls, and enable traceable, explainable models with robust versioning to meet compliance, reduce risk, and support responsible AI.
Instead of managing multiple copies, teams work with one authoritative source that automatically updates downstream consumers when source data changes.
AIDE actively analyzes file content to semantically enrich metadata, understanding what data actually means, not just where it sits.
