NetApp® FAS 3100 series featuring Data ONTAP
Now you can simultaneously meet your diverse needs—SAN and NAS, primary and secondary storage—while providing high levels of application availability for everything from your critical business operations to technical applications. With NetApp® FAS3100 series systems, you get outstanding value: our flexible systems offer excellent performance and impressive scalability at a lower total cost of ownership than other midrange storage systems.
We’ve designed our systems to make them easy for you to install, provision, manage, and upgrade so you can quickly adapt your storage infrastructure to meet your changing business and technical needs. To help you maximize staff productivity, all NetApp FAS systems run the Data ONTAP® 7G operating system and use the same suite of application-aware management software.
You need a versatile platform that can handle the huge amount of diverse data moving through your business. Now you can consolidate these varied data sets onto a unified storage platform that provides simultaneous block and file services for business and technical applications. With the NetApp FAS3100 series, you can unlock the full potential of your growing virtualized server environment by enabling virtual machine mobility and offloading the work of data protection. Our FAS3100 systems enable you to connect your heterogeneous server environment (including Windows®, UNIX®, and Linux® servers) and clients to one storage system by using standard storage protocols and interfaces.
With less time spent on backup and recovery, you can focus your energy and creativity on growing your business.Our full range of enterprise-class high-availability and disaster recovery products provide affordable software for data protection that enables you to safeguard more of your business-critical applications than would be possible with other storage. NetApp’s Snapshot™ capability reduces backup times to minutes; SnapRestore® recovers point-in-time data, also in minutes. SnapManager® quickly returns applications to the same point in time as recovered data. All of this built on the solid foundation of our low overhead, dual parity RAID- DP™ — NetApp’s high-performance RAID 6 that offers better data protection and capacity utilization than RAID 5 and RAID 1+0.
The NetApp FAS3100 series offers compelling performance across a wide range of application workloads—file services, OLTP, and messaging and collaboration, to name just a few. Our high-bandwidth, 64-bit controller architecture with large memory cache and the latest I/O technologies provides data at the rates you need to keep the most demanding business and technical applications running smoothly. Your critical applications can take priority under peak load conditions with our FlexShare™ quality of service software. Features such as these enable you to meet demanding service levels and achieve a faster time to market for your critical new products and services.
In today’s business environment, the data your systems collect grows relentlessly, regardless of your company’s size. With NetApp’s flexible FAS3100 series, you can combine high-performance Fibre Channel and large-capacity SATA disk drives in storage tiers for optimal performance
and cost. And on the same system, you can seamlessly consolidate block and file storage. We make this possible by providing native support of the FCP, iSCSI, NFS, and CIFS storage protocols via both Fibre Channel and Ethernet interfaces.
NetApp’s innovative thin provisioning capability helps you eliminate stranded storage by instantly expanding or contracting LUNs and volumes by using a common pool of spare capacity. When more performance or scalability is required, you can preserve investments in staff expertise and capital equipment with data-in-place upgrades to more powerful FAS systems that are running the same Data ONTAP operating system and
using the same management tools.
We can help you reduce costs in all aspects of your storage environment by simplifying data management and maximizing storage utilization to conserve raw storage, power, cooling, and data center space. You’ll spend less time waiting and more time innovating, thanks to high system performance, fast backup and recovery, and rapid cloning of data sets.
