NetApp Fabric-Attached Storage Systems

Maximize data availability and protection with the industry’s broadest compatible family of storage systems.

THE CHALLENGE

Maximizing your business advantage
Fast, reliable access to an increasing volume of business information is essential to the competitiveness and success of your enterprise whatever its size. When you make sure that high-value data and content are available whenever and wherever they are needed, you increase productivity by enabling managers, employees, and partners to make faster decisions. You also enable better engagement with customers, clients, and prospects. To provide around-the-clock and around-the-world information availability, you need efficient and effective data management.

Key data management challenges include:

• How do you consolidate data demanded by many users and multiple applications on a variety of network storage systems?
• How can you manage data stored throughout your organization, whether in data centers or at remote locations?
• How can you be sure that your data is available in the event of a hardware problem, human error, or disaster?
• How can you protect and secure your data against loss, unauthorized access, or noncompliant changes?

THE SOLUTION

NetApp’s family of fabric-attached storage
You can reduce costs and complexity, minimize risks, and control change by simplifying data management with NetApp® fabric-attached storage (FAS) systems. Our FAS product line provides storage solutions for a broad range of needs, from your remote office applications to your largest enterprise applications. Regardless of the size of your enterprise, we have a storage solution that will fit your needs. For your large-scale data consolidations and high-performance applications, we offer the high-end FAS6000 series. For exceptional price-performance value, we offer the midrange FAS3100 series. And for your remote offices, we offer the FAS2000 series, which you can also use as primary storage in midsize enterprises.

Key Benefits

• Reduce Downtime
  Keep your mission-critical data continuously available throughout your organization.

• Improve Performance
  Get high throughput and fast response times for transaction processing, database interaction, and technical applications.

• Reduce Costs
  Consolidate and serve data for a wide variety of workloads spanning SAN and NAS environments for both primary and secondary storage.

• Respond Quickly to Growth
  Expand capacity without disrupting operations and easily upgrade for better performance.

• Lower TCO
  With simplified deployment, administration, and management, you can enjoy lower total cost of ownership.

CONSOLIDATE FOR A VARIETY OF WORKLOADS
For storage consolidation, our systems are extremely versatile. You can simultaneously access file- and block-level application data with concurrent connections to Fibre Channel (FC) and IP networks. With NetApp, you can consolidate and serve data for a wide variety of workloads, including:

• Business applications
• E-mail
• Enterprise content management
• Technical applications
• Home directories

Our FAS systems provide scalable, high-availability storage for your Windows®, UNIX®, and Linux® servers. You can access your data over FC and iSCSI storage area networks (SANs) and access files using standard protocols for network-attached storage (NAS). Because our systems use both high-performance and high-density disk drives, in either homogeneous or mixed storage configurations, you get a choice of tiered storage options. When it comes to storage consolidation, you can use our systems to span both SAN and NAS environments and meet your primary and secondary storage needs.

PROVISION STORAGE QUICKLY
You can provision and manage storage more quickly with Data ONTAP® 7G. All of our FAS systems run the NetApp Data ONTAP operating system, which we optimize for fast, efficient, and reliable data access and retention. With our FlexVol® technology for provisioning and configuring our storage, you can eliminate costly over provisioning and avoid time-consuming reconfiguration; with a single command, you can dynamically expand or contract LUNs and volumes.

The Range:

• FAS6000 series: scalability for the largest enterprise applications
• FAS3000 series: breakthrough value for mid tier enterprise storage
• FAS2000 series: true versatility for distributed and midsize enterprises
