New Enterprise Solutions FAS6000 and V6000 by NetApp

NetApp broadened its footprint in the high-end
data center market with the introduction of the new FAS6000 and V6000
series solutions. Enhancements to these data center storage systems
provide enterprises greater flexibility to support demanding IT
environments and massive scalability to consolidate application data
and grow it on the fly. The NetApp FAS6000 and V6000 systems help
maximize application-level availability and high storage utilization
to reduce power, space, and cooling costs. These features, coupled
with the NetApp unified storage architecture, offer incredible
business value for enterprise customers.

"We listen to our customers and respond with innovation that
impacts their businesses
," said Patrick Rogers, vice president of
Solutions Marketing at NetApp. "The new FAS6000 and V6000 series
further scale our product line to provide the largest and most
demanding businesses with the best modular storage solutions available
today. NetApp is arming enterprise IT professionals with the necessary
tools to exceed their business goals
."

The four new systems announced today include the FAS6040 and
FAS6080 and the corresponding V-Series solutions, the V6040 and V6080.
The enhanced FAS6000 series of modular storage systems is designed to
handle the largest applications and consolidations found in enterprise
data centers. In fact, the FAS6080 is the first modular storage system
to exceed more than 1PB in storage capacity. The FAS6040 and FAS6080
offer a significant amount of capacity with increased support for up
to 1TB disk drives.

Additionally, the V6040 and V6080 enhance the value of third-party
storage arrays by adding the data management features of the NetApp
Data ONTAP(R) software family. The longstanding tradition of NetApp
unified storage–NAS, SAN, and iSCSI support in a single
system–combined with increased capacity performance and provisioning
means that enterprise customers can experience reduced space, power,
and cooling costs while preserving investments in legacy
infrastructure. The unmatched combination of capacity, energy
efficiency, and application flexibility provide a compelling solution
for IT executives looking to reduce total cost of ownership without
sacrificing performance and ease of use.

Storage and I/O scalability are key features of the FAS6000
series. The FAS6080 system can be configured with over 1100TB of raw
storage capacity using up to 1,176 hard disk drives. Similarly, the
FAS6040 system can support over 800TB of capacity using as many as 840
disk drives. Both models have a high-bandwidth controller design that
provides I/O expandability of up to 56 integrated 4Gb-per-second Fibre
Channel ports or 52 1Gb-per-second Ethernet ports.

New Entry-Level Configurations
As part of today’s news, NetApp is also announcing new FAS2000
configurations, which now support SATA drives internally in addition
to already-shipping SAS-internal configurations. For
price-per-capacity leadership at the entry level, these configurations
provide the lowest price points and highest storage density in a 2U or
4U rack footprint–and more capacity in a smaller footprint means
lower energy, power, and cooling costs. The FAS2020 also supports up
to four external expansion shelves for a maximum raw capacity of up to
65TB.


All products described in this press release are available
