NetApp FAS3270 Single Controller + IOMX Filer Head (Stand Alone)

Quick Specs

The NetApp FAS3270 in a single-chassis, 3U form factor delivers powerful, high-availability storage for mid-sized to large enterprises. Dual controllers with up to 40GB of shared memory ensure consistent performance and reliable data access under heavy workloads. RAID 4, RAID-DP, and RAID-TEC provide flexible protection, safeguarding critical information as demands evolve.

Powered by four 64-bit, 3.00GHz dual-core processors, this system offers robust connectivity through 1GbE, 4Gb Fibre Channel, and 6Gb SAS. With 12 PCIe expansion slots, administrators can customize network or storage interfaces to meet specific environment requirements. Remote management capabilities also help streamline setup, monitoring, and maintenance.

Supporting up to 960 drives and scaling to nearly 15PB, the FAS3270 accommodates a variety of NetApp disk shelves—including DS212C, DS2246, DS224C, DS424x, DS4486, and DS460C—and works with multiple drive types (MSATA, NL-SAS, SAS, SATA, SSD). This versatility makes it a dependable choice for organizations looking to consolidate and expand their storage infrastructure efficiently.
