Pierre Winiger, TPM November 2012

FAS/V3200 Refresh

FAS/V3200 Refresh Highlights FAS3220 and FAS3250

Two new models based on the existing FAS/V3200 architecture FAS/V3220 and FAS/V3250

> 50% higher benchmark throughput More cores (2x) More memory on FAS/V3220 vs FAS/V3210 (2.4x) More memory on FAS/V3250 vs FAS/V3240 (2.5x)

More NVMEM will help with write intensive workloads

Standard FAS/V3250 configuration with high-bandwidth I/O card included Two base configurations with either 10GbE NIC or 8Gb FC Similar to FAS6200 approach for FC or SAS adapter

Flash Cache and Flash Pool support Both models, no caveats

Supported in Data ONTAP 8.1.2 RC2

* When using both Flash Cache and Flash Pool on a FAS/V3240, the only option for Flash Cache is to use a 256GB Flash Cache card and either 100MB (1 x SSD data drive) or 200MB (2 x SSD data drives) per controller. Regardless of the combination selected, both controllers in the HA pair must have the exact same configuration deployed (symmetrical configuration required). 2) Support for Flash Cache in the FAS/V3210 is limited to existing customers only (no new installations) running Data ONTAP 8.0.x and Data ONTAP 8.1.1+ (no Data ONTAP 8.1 support).

E-Series Update

Two Key Infrastructures

Shared, Virtualized Infrastructure Storage is a pooled resource supporting

multiple applications & workloads QoS for delivering multiple service levels Multi-tenant, predictable, self-tuning Balance between features & performance Data management in the storage layer

Dedicated Infrastructure Storage capacity is a dedicated resource Application-specific or workload-specific Extreme, mandatory requirements

in one or more dimensions Heavy emphasis on performance Data management in the application layer
