Description

NetApp FAS6080 Universal Storage System is ideally suited for storage consolidation supporting hundreds of applications because they are not only highly scalable but also very flexible.

Tiered storage can be implemented in one system using cost-saving SATA disk drives and high-performance FC disk drives. Data can be stored either in file or block format.

NetApp FAS6080 Universal Storage System is supported protocols include FCP, NFS, CIFS, HTTP, and iSCSI for the greatest flexibility.

The Data ONTAP 7G operating system includes two standard features, FlexVol and FlexShare, which improve the effectiveness of consolidation. FlexVol creates volumes that can be readily expanded or contracted while reducing the need for spare capacity. FlexShare enables the consolidation of disparate workloads by ensuring that critical workloads get fast response.

High Availability

A full range of high availability and disaster recovery options are offered with the FAS6000 series. However, NetApp goes beyond the data center baseline for availability. Dual-parity RAID, for example, provides a high level of data protection with negligible performance impact. Similarly, the NetApp implementation of Snapshot copies has no performance impact and requires very little incremental storage, so Snapshot copies can be taken frequently. The result is unparalleled application-level availability with recovery in minutes, not hours, after a failure or human error.
