The NetApp FAS storage systems optimize memory and I/O bandwidth to provide superior performance while providing the network connectivity and capacity scaling. The NetApp FAS8000 storage systems provide an enterprise storage solution that enables a high return on investment and accelerates resource-intensive applications with hybrid flash arrays that give more than 2.6M IOPs of flash-integrated, low-latency performance.

NetApp’s operating system, clustered Data ONTAP, serves as a foundation for the hybrid cloud, speeding application response and agility. The software controls and manages enterprise data consistently and more efficiently with non-disruptive operations.
