FAS3200 Series

Key features	Benefits
Leading efficiency	Truly unified storage architecture that uses a single platform with common software and processes across all the storage tiers NetApp deduplication and data compression provide a striking answer to ever-increasing storage capacity demands Integrated data protection reduces the cost and complexity of safeguarding your business One operating system across the entire family and heterogeneous disk array support with the V-Series
Flexible capacity scaling	Scales to nearly 3 PB of versatile storage that adapts readily to your growing storage demands Multi-protocol support for any requirement Supports 50% more PCIe slots for higher I/O performance and more bandwidth Data ONTAP in both standard and cluster modes, providing you with the flexibility of up to 24 nodes
Enterprise-class availability	High-end features, such as Alternate Control Path (ACP) and service processor Boost data availability with zero planned and unplanned downtime by combining with the MetroCluster™ solutions Implement distance array-based clustering to protect against outages within your data center, across campus or in the city due to hardware failures, power, network and environmental faults
Leading performance	Use the DS4243 with solid state drives (SSDs) when every I/O read must be fast. Boost system performance by adding up to 2 TB of Flash Cache. These intelligent caching modules automatically increase read rates and reduce average latency for frequently accessed data without having to add more disk drives Flash Cache combined with hard disk drives is an effective and typically more affordable alternative to SSDs.
