FAS900

Industry-leading performance and storage scalability for enterprise-class applications.

The FAS900 product family is ideally suited for the demanding performance and scalability requirements of mission-critical enterprise applications. The FAS900 series delivers some of the fastest response times ever recorded on the SPEC SFS97 benchmark, with response times of less than 1ms. FAS980 systems, the ultra high end systems within the FAS900 series, provide the optimal combination of extremely fast response times with the very high-throughput that distinguishes this product line. For more information, see the FAS Overview datasheet (PDF).

NetApp enterprise storage systems simultaneously support Fibre Channel SAN, IP SAN (iSCSI), and network-attached storage.

FAS3000

Redefining value for enterprise storage.

The FAS3000 series delivers up to twice the price/performance of competing products in its class and supports more users per system for greater storage consolidation capability. As part of the unified NetApp architecture, these systems support file services, FC SAN, IP SAN, and multiple network configurations, while offering scalability to higher performance systems with seamless, painless upgrades without requiring the "forklift" data migration needed by most other offerings currently on the market.

Available in two models, FAS3050 and FAS3020, these systems are designed to meet the needs of the fast growing midtier enterprise storage market. FAS3000 series systems are ideally suited for enterprise application infrastructures, such as database, e-mail/messaging, home directory consolidation, and disaster recovery solutions. Designed with enterprise serviceability, continuous availability, and easy manageability in mind, the FAS3000 series increases reliability, simplifies maintenance, and reduces storage infrastructure complexity. For more information, see the FAS3000 series datasheet (PDF).

FAS200

Enterprise-class, affordable, highly scalable, and upgradeable storage.

NetApp FAS200 series systems are economical, enterprise-class storage solutions. Based on an innovative hardware design that shrinks the traditional "filer head" to a form factor that fits within a single storage shelf, the FAS200 series provides all of the software functionality enabled by Data ONTAP and is completely compatible with, and upgradeable to, the full range of NetApp systems.

This series is ideally suited for large, distributed enterprises with remote office and branch office storage requirements. The FAS250 provides an affordable, entry-level solution for small and medium-size businesses requiring NAS, IP SAN (iSCSI), or unified storage networks. The FAS270 is a midrange system that offers an entry-level Fibre Channel SAN solution while providing strong price/performance for NAS and iSCSI infrastructures. For more information, see the FAS200 series datasheet (PDF).

NetApp Primary Storage Product Comparison

NetApp® fabric-attached storage (FAS) systems are reliable, fast, and highly scalable. These versatile multiprotocol systems simultaneously support Fibre Channel SAN, IP SAN (iSCSI), and network-attached storage (NAS) with a single architecture that simplifies data management.

NearStore R200

Cost-effective, fast-access storage for backup and recovery, reference data, online archival and remote disaster recovery.

The NetApp® NearStore® R200 system is a disk-based nearline storage system that combines the powerful Data ONTAP® operating system with inexpensive ATA disk drives. This enables NearStore to provide near-primary storage performance at near-tape storage costs. For more information, see the NearStore R200 datasheet (PDF).

NearStore perfectly complements and dramatically improves existing tape backup, archiving, and data protection schemes by inserting economical and simple-to-use disk-based storage between application storage and tape libraries in a three-tier storage architecture. NearStore further enhances data protection and management by consolidating nearline workload data from both NetApp systems and other storage devices.

The NearStore R200 system scales from 8TB to 96TB and offers value to both small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and global enterprise customers looking to implement or enhance their storage infrastructures.

NearStore VTL

Accelerate the backup and recovery of data without disrupting your backup environment.

The NetApp® NearStore® virtual tape library (VTL) is a disk-to-disk backup appliance that appears like a tape library to a backup software application but provides the superior speed and reliability of disk technologies. The NearStore VTL reduces management costs and dramatically improves backup and recovery performance while leveraging existing investments in infrastructure, backup software and processes.

The NearStore VTL can be used to back up any open system storage environment—including those of EMC, Hitachi, HP, and IBM—and is certified for use with leading enterprise backup software, including software from BakBone, CA, CommVault, HP, Legato, Symantec, Syncsort, and Tivoli.

Available in capacities from 4.5TB to 168TB, the NearStore VTL provides a simple, nondisruptive solution that improves the backup process for virtually any data center environment. For more information, see the NearStore VTL datasheet (PDF).

V-Series

Industry's Most Comprehensive and Only Virtualization Solution to Unify NAS, SAN, and IP SAN under a Common Architecture

The NetApp® V-Series family, an evolution of the NetApp enterprise gFiler™ product line, is a network-based solution that virtualizes tiered, heterogeneous storage arrays, allowing you to leverage the dynamic virtualization capabilities delivered in Data ONTAP® 7G software across your existing Fibre Channel SAN infrastructure to support an expanded set of business applications.

Like all NetApp storage appliances, the V-Series product line is based on the industry-tested Data ONTAP microkernel operating system, which unifies block (FCP or iSCSI) and file (NAS) storage networking paradigms under a common architecture and provides a complete suite of NetApp advanced data management capabilities for consolidating, protecting, and recovering mission-critical data for enterprise applications and users.

The NetApp V-Series product line offers the performance and capacity to meet access requirements for enterprises of all sizes. V-Series systems deliver industry-leading performance and terabytes of managed capacity. V-Series systems can be configured for simultaneous active/active access with secure failover across two independent systems in a cluster.

NetCache
