Everything about NetApp FAS
Computer storage product
A NetApp FAS is a computer storage product by NetApp running the ONTAP operating system; the terms ONTAP, FAS, AFF, and ASA are often used as synonyms. "Filer" is also used as a synonym although this is not an official name. There are several types of custom-built hardware appliances:Fabric Attached Storage (FAS) - combine Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) SSDs and HDDs to provide a hybrid storage system optimized for capacity and cost-effectiveness; All-Flash FAS (AFF) - based on NVMe SSDs optimized for low-latency; All-Flash SAN Array (ASA) - built on top of the AFF platform, providing a high-performance block-only storage system.
