scale-out storage.

Maximize Uptime

Eliminate planned downtime to add,

upgrade, or retire storage with no

disruptions.

Consolidate Infrastructure

Scale up to 57PB, cluster with AFF

all-flash systems, and integrate existing

third-party storage arrays.

The Challenge

Enabling the data-driven business

As the role of technology has expanded to cover key business operations as well as

back-office functions, IT leaders have had to rethink the way they architect storage.

Traditional requirements such as storage uptime, scalability, and cost efficiency are still

critical, but so are factors such as flash acceleration, cloud integration, unified support

for SAN and NAS, and simplified data mining for competitive advantage.

Many enterprises struggle, held back by structural limitations in legacy storage and

data architectures. Traditional storage arrays might deliver on basic needs but are

divided into separate silos or are incapable of meeting advanced service requirements

and leveraging the cloud.

The Solution

Accelerate business operations with unified scale-out storage

The demands of a data-driven business require a new approach to storage with an

integrated combination of high-performance hardware and adaptive, scalable storage

software. The approach needs to support existing workloads as well as adapt and scale

quickly to address new applications and evolving IT models.

FAS8200 hybrid storage systems are engineered specifically to address these needs.

Powered by NetApp® ONTAP® data management software, the FAS8200 unifies

your SAN and NAS storage infrastructure. When FAS8200 systems are clustered

with NetApp AFF all-flash arrays and integrated with the cloud, you have the control

to easily move your data to where it’s needed for your business and place it in the

storage environment that delivers the best combination of flash performance, storage

capacity, and cost efficiency. With proven agility and data management capabilities, the

FAS8200 has the flexibility to keep up with changing business needs while delivering

on core IT requirements.

Unlock the power of flash

Flash-accelerated FAS8200 hybrid storage systems deliver up to 50% more performance

than our previous-generation FAS storage, boosting throughput, lowering latency, and

meeting stringent service levels. The base configuration of each HA pair includes 2TB of

onboard NetApp Flash Cache™ based on NVMe technology, which can be expanded up

to 4TB of integrated Flash Cache and up to 48TB of total flash per HA pair when leveraging

NetApp Flash Pool™ intelligent data caching. Hot data is automatically promoted to

flash in real time, so you get the full benefit of flash performance.
