NetApp FAS 8000 Series Storage

The FAS 8000 family consists of the FAS8080EX, FAS8060, FAS8040, and FAS8020. Netapp used the FAS8000 to supersede 2 families from the previous generation: the larger enterprise-class FAS6200, and the smaller mid-range FAS3200 family. The FAS 8000 offers a solution for every business small to large that is inexpensive, and easy to deploy.

FAS8000 features:

• NetApp FAS 8000 Storage systems are designed to deliver superior availability and proven performance to satisfy the most demanding workloads. The leading NetApp flash portfolio integrates with the FAS8000, letting you put flash where you need it most.
• Non-disruptive operations: CDOT ONTAP eliminates planned downtime for upgrades and system changes. Advanced risk detection lets you resolve issues before they affect availability.
  Self-managing Virtual Storage Tier flash technologies drive more IOPS with lower latency and reduce the quantity of spinning disk needed for a given level of performance.
• FAS8000 systems with clustered Data ONTAP scale up to 24 nodes. You can cluster controllers of various sizes, ages, and performance characteristics, including NetApp V-Series systems, in front of third-party storage.
