• One OS - NetApp Storage is Built on the Industry
leading Storage OS – Data ONTAP. A single OS
powers the entire line of NetApp FAS products.
• Scalable – supports growth of a few Terabytes to
multiple Petabytes.
• Resilient – built-in features like SnapShots,
FlexClone, RAID-DP(6), and SnapMirror simplify
backup and replication, while ensuring data is
protected.
• Unified Architecture – as requirements change,
support for common protocols such as Fibre
Channel, iSCSI, NFS, and CIFS/SMB is built-in.
NetApp FAS Line of
Storage
(FAS2200/FAS3200/FAS6200)
• Efficient – features include deduplication,
compression, solid-state caching, thin provisioning
and cloning. Reducing required disk storage and
reducing deployment windows.
