SMBs facing the promise of data growth over time may be interested in NetApp‘s new FAS2220 unified storage system.
The FAS2220 is the latest member of NetApp’s portfolio. It starts under $8,000 and leverages new NetApp Flash Pool technology.
Flash Pools, which extend NetApp’s Virtual Storage Tier approach to the midsize market, enable SMBs to accelerate application performance and are simple to implement and operate “out of the box.” Flash Pool technology also integrates with NetApp’s suite of nine storage efficiency technologies for increased utilization and reduced power costs.
The FAS2200 series runs on the latest version of the Data ONTAP operating system to provide a unified, scalable architecture for affordable upgrade features. Data ONTAP also provides “cluster-ready” capabilities, enabling SMBs to add storage capacity as needed to their shared infrastructures with no downtime.
The new NetApp OnCommand System Manager 2.1 helps simplify, control, and automate both setup and ongoing management of NetApp storage. This tool enables customers to improve their storage and service efficiency, boost productivity, and reduce the impact of storage management on IT resources.
The FAS2220, starting under $8,000, will be made available this week through NetApp’s worldwide network of value-added authorized resellers, distributors, and systems integrators.
