Choose the FAS3100 for its flexibility, performance, availability, and responsiveness to growth.

FAS3100 systems are designed to meet the needs of the mid-tier enterprise storage market. These systems are ideally suited for enterprise SANs that support applications such as database, e-mail and messaging, home directory consolidation, and disaster recovery.

Do more for your business than you thought possible with a storage system. Choose our FAS3100 for its flexibility, performance, availability, and responsiveness to growth.

• Enjoy compelling file- and transaction-based performance with high-bandwidth 64-bit architecture and the latest I/O technologies.
• Consolidate diverse data sets onto a unified storage platform that offers primary and secondary storage with simultaneous block and file services for business and technical applications.
• Instantly expand or contract LUNs or volumes with thin provisioning.
• Dramatically reduce your consumption of raw storage, power, cooling, and space with our highly efficient storage utilization.

NetApp Storage Efficiency

Data proliferation is a fact of life. Harnessing the spread of data is a near impossibility, but correcting provisioning inefficiencies; managing storage allocation for test and development, data backup, data replication; and eliminating data redundancies are well within the grasp of system administrators with today’s storage efficiency tools. NetApp provides many products and features that enable space-efficient storage and result in buying less storage:

• Snapshot: Point-in-time file-system views
• FlexVol: Thin provisioning for quota efficiencies
• FlexClone: Writable test and development copies
• SnapMirror: Efficient data replication using Snapshot copies
• SnapVault: Disk-to-disk data backups with 20:1 or greater space-saving ratio versus tape backups
• NetApp deduplication: General-purpose deduplication for removal of redundant data objects

NetApp Storage Solutions for Server Virtualization

Virtualizing your servers is only half the story. According to both Gartner and IDC, you need to consider storage as part of the solution if you want to realize the promise of a truly virtualized environment.

Server virtualization has set the stage for those who are rethinking how they design and implement their IT solutions. Whether you’re looking for new ways to lower cost, improve scalability, or improve service level agreements (SLAs), integrating storage as part of the overall solution will enable you to:

Bring products, services, and projects to market faster
Save up to 50% on storage power, cooling, and space and lower overall data center costs
Scale your virtualized environment and accommodate data growth without degrading performance or investing in additional storage

NetApp Deduplication

NetApp deduplication is a fundamental component of our core operating architecture - Data ONTAP®. NetApp deduplication is the first that can be used broadly across many applications, including primary data, backup data, and archival data.

NetApp deduplication combines the benefits of granularity, performance, and resiliency to provide you with a significant advantage in the race to provide for ever-increasing storage capacity demands.

By eliminating redundant data objects and referencing just the original object, an immediate benefit is obtained through storage space efficiencies. The result is twofold:

• Cost Benefit: Reduced initial storage acquisition cost, or longer intervals between storage capacity upgrades.
• Management Benefit: The ability the store “more” data per storage unit, or retain online data for longer periods of time
