NetApp FAS3210 Dual Controller Filer Head

Quick Specs

The NetApp FAS3210 is a compact, 3U storage system designed for mid-sized enterprise deployments. Its dual-controller, high-availability architecture ensures continuous access to data, while up to 10GB of shared memory helps maintain responsive performance for critical workloads.

Equipped with two 2.33GHz 64-bit processors and built-in 1GbE and 4Gb FC ports, the FAS3210 supports flexible network integration. Its RAID 4 and RAID-DP options enhance data protection, and four PCIe slots enable additional network or storage interface expansions.

With support for up to 240 drives and a maximum capacity of 1.4PB, the FAS3210 scales to meet growing demands. Compatible with various NetApp disk shelves—including DS14, DS2246, and DS424x models—it offers multiple drive interfaces (FC, SAS, SATA, SSD) to accommodate diverse performance and capacity requirements.
