Integrating data management across flash, disk, and cloud

Organizations of all sizes and local offices of larger companies are increasingly challenged

by shrinking budgets, overextended staff, and the ever-changing demands caused by data

growth. Plus, there are flash and cloud adoption to consider. These challenges, coupled

with the increasing complexity of your Microsoft Windows, VMware, or server virtualization

environment, can quickly consume your budget and affect the productivity of your staff.

The Solution

Designed to support more of your IT needs, the NetApp FAS2700 hybrid storage arrays

offer more value than other systems in their class. The FAS2700 running NetApp ONTAP®

storage software simplifies the task of managing growth and complexity by delivering

high performance, providing leading integration with the cloud, supporting a broader

range of workloads, and seamlessly scaling performance and capacity.

You can build a foundation for a Data Fabric that leverages flash acceleration and public

cloud storage resources to cost-effectively handle dynamic storage needs. For growing

organizations that are concerned about budgets today and meeting challenging IT needs

in the future, the FAS2700 is the perfect choice.

ically applies best practices and optimizes data placement on your NetApp storage

nondisruptive operation (NDO) technology lets you dynamically handle more storage

tasks during regular work hours without costly interruptions to IT.
