Quick Specs

The NetApp FAS8200 2-Node Stretch MetroCluster with Optical SAS is a high-availability storage solution designed for seamless failover and continuous operations. It features a dual-chassis configuration with two controllers, providing 256GB of memory and two 64-bit, 16-core processors running at 1.70 GHz. With a total rack height of 6U, this system supports up to 480 drives and a maximum storage capacity of 10.56PB, ensuring reliability and scalability for enterprise environments.

For connectivity, the FAS8200 offers four 10Gb RJ45 Ethernet ports, four 10Gb SFP Ethernet ports, and eight UTA2 SFP+ ports supporting both 10Gb and 16Gb speeds. The system also includes eight MiniSAS HD ports (12Gb) for high-speed storage expansion. Each controller is equipped with two PCIe slots and supports remote management. Compatible disk shelves include DS212C, DS224C, and DS460C, providing flexible storage expansion options.

The chassis measures 3U in rack height per unit, with dimensions of 5.12 inches in height, 17.6 inches in width, and 28.94 inches in depth, and a maximum weight of 76 lbs. The system supports RAID 4, RAID 6 (RAID-DP), and RAID-TEC for enhanced data protection. As a Stretch MetroCluster solution, it enables direct SAS-based storage access between sites without the need for data mirroring, allowing both controllers to access the shared disk shelves for continuous operations.

The key difference between a **2-Node Stretch MetroCluster with Optical SAS** and **Fiber Bridge** is the method used to extend storage connectivity. Optical SAS extends SAS storage directly over optical cabling, providing a simple and efficient solution for short-distance deployments (up to 300m). In contrast, Fiber Bridge converts SAS to Fibre Channel, allowing for longer-distance extensions of up to 10km. Optical SAS is ideal for data centers with closely located storage systems, while Fiber Bridge provides greater flexibility for site separation.
