NetApp FAS200 series systems are economical, enterprise-class storage solutions. Based on an innovative hardware design that shrinks the traditional "filer head" to a form factor that fits within a single storage shelf, the FAS200 series provides all of the software functionality enabled by Data ONTAP and is completely compatible with, and upgradable to, the full range of NetApp systems.

This series is ideally suited for large, distributed enterprises with remote office and branch office storage requirements. The FAS250 provides an affordable, entry-level solution for small and medium-size businesses requiring NAS, IP SAN (iSCSI), or unified storage networks. The FAS270 is a midrange system that offers an entry-level Fibre Channel SAN solution while providing strong price/performance for NAS and iSCSI infrastructures.
