The four new systems announced include the FAS6040 and FAS6080 and the corresponding V-Series solutions, the V6040 and V6080.

The enhanced FAS6000 series of modular storage systems is designed to handle the most demanding enterprise application environments found in enterprise data centers. The FAS6040 and FAS6080 offer a significant amount of capacity with increased support for up to 1TB disk drives, and in fact, the FAS6080 is the first modular storage system to exceed 1000TB in storage capacity.

The longstanding tradition of NetApp unified storage — NAS, SAN, and iSCSI support in a single system — combined with increased capacity performance and provisioning means that enterprise customers can experience reduced space, power, and cooling costs while preserving investments in legacy infrastructure.

The unmatched combination of capacity, energy efficiency, and application flexibility provide a compelling solution for IT executives looking to reduce total cost of ownership without sacrificing performance and ease of use.

Storage and I/O scalability are key features of the FAS6000 series. The FAS6080 system can be configured with over 1,100TB of raw storage capacity using up to 1,176 hard disk drives. Similarly, the FAS6040 system can support over 800TB of capacity using as many as 840 disk drives. Both models have a high-bandwidth controller design that provides I/O expandability of up to 56 integrated 4Gbps Fiber Channel ports or 52 1Gbps Ethernet ports.
