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.

Scale and adapt to meet changing needs Optimize and accelerate your storage environment as performance and capacity requirements change. Scale up by adding capacity, adding more flash acceleration, and upgrading controllers. Scale out by growing from 2 nodes up to a 24-node cluster with 57PB of capacity, including combinations of different FAS and AFF models. FAS8200 systems also support massive NAS containers, which are easy to manage. With the NetApp FlexGroup feature of ONTAP 9, a single namespace can grow to 20PB and 400 billion files while maintaining consistent high performance and resiliency. With nondisruptive addition and replacement of storage systems and components, scaling occurs without maintenance windows or the challenge of coordinating downtime across teams. Perform your updates during regular work hours. Achieve unparalleled availability and nondisruptive operations FAS8200 enterprise storage is engineered to meet demanding availability requirements. All models are designed to deliver 99.9999% availability or greater through a comprehensive approach that combines highly reliable hardware, innovative software, and sophisticated service analytics. Software and firmware updates, hardware repair and replacement, load balancing, and tech refresh happen without planned downtime. Plus, NetApp Integrated Data Protection technologies protect your data, accelerate recovery, and integrate with leading backup applications for easier management. NetApp MetroCluster™ and SnapMirror Synchronous technologies expand data protection to eliminate risk of data loss by synchronously mirroring data between locations for continuous availability of information. Storage arrays can exist in a single data center or in two different data centers that are located across a campus, across a metropolitan area, or in different cities. No matter what happens, your data can be protected from loss and, with MetroCluster, it’s continuously available to meet the most business-critical needs.
