All NetApp FAS and V-Series systems utilize the Data ONTAP storage operating system, plus a common set of powerful, easy-to-use data management and data protection software products. The scalable, unified software of NetApp systems uniquely provides a common software environment for both NAS and SAN, from entry systems through the largest data center systems.
NetApp software enables you to build flexible and efficient shared infrastructure today as your foundation for future-ready IT. With NetApp software on the FAS3200 series you can:
- Backup terabytes of application data in seconds and recover in just minutes
- Reduce disk purchases by 50% or more through a superior set of storage efficiency features
- Manage 2–3X more storage per administrator
- Reduce provisioning time by up to 90%
- Cut test and development time in half
Included standard with every FAS3200 series system is Data ONTAP Essentials, a set of uniquely powerful NetApp software products that delivers enterprise-class availability, secure multi-tenancy, high performance, superior storage efficiency, and select OnCommand management software. In addition, optional Extended Value software products provide advanced capabilities such as instant data recovery, instant cloning, data replication, disk-to-disk backup, and application-aware backup and recovery.

| Data Protection |
RAID-DP |
Data ONTAP software feature that safeguards your data from double disk failure, with no performance penalty. |
| Snapshot |
Data ONTAP feature that enables quick point-in-time copies of file systems or LUNs; NetApp Snapshot uniquely carries no performance penalty. |
| Open Systems SnapVault |
Backup of DAS connected to Windows or UNIX servers; maintains online archive of backup copies. |
| Multi-Tenancy |
MultiStore |
Secure partitioning of network and storage resources into virtual storage containers enabling consolidation of multiple domains on a single system. |
| Performance |
FlexCache |
Enables NetApp systems to be used as cache systems, for scale-out computing, remote office, and simplification of tiered storage. |
| FlexShare |
Data ONTAP feature enables workload prioritization, automatically allocating more storage system resources to higher priority workloads when system is heavily loaded. |
| Storage Protocols |
Included SAN or NAS protocol |
One SAN or NAS protocol of your choice (iSCSI, FC, NFS, CIFS) is included with your system. |
Extended-Value Software
Affordable, easy to buy add-on software products are available to enhance base system functionality. These can be purchased individually, or all of these products can be purchased together through the NetApp Complete Bundle.
