1.   Summary

This product bulletin summarizes the NetApp Select FAS250 and FAS270 controller bundles, storage, and software options  available for sale worldwide through channel partners only, using standard reseller and distributor discount rate schedules.

The NetApp Select FAS200 bundles include standalone and high-availability configurations, with options for iSCSI or iSCSI and CIFS protocols included in the base price. Specially priced storage bundles (exclusive to NetApp Select) are available, as well as all other supported storage configurations.  Additionally, the FAS270 bundles can be ordered without FC storage in the head, with all storage residing in the external DS14mk2AT expansion shelf (see sections 5 and 6for configuration details).Also beginning in March 2007, a limited-time promotion on SnapMirror licenses is available when purchasing FAS270 systems through NetApp Select.

 

2.   What’s New

 

The March 2007Quote Tool update includes the following enhancements to FAS200 systems ordered through NetApp Select:

 

  • iSCSI Base Bundles: FAS200 iSCSI channel-only base bundle systems are now part of the NetApp Select program. These are the same iSCSI bundles that have been previously available; now these bundles are eligible for the exclusive benefits of NetApp Select, such as the SnapMirror promotion described below.
  • Storage Options: Choose from specially priced NetApp Select storage bundles, or configure storage of your choice.
  • SnapMirror Promotion: A new lower price for SnapMirror licenses is available for purchase with NetApp Select FAS270 systems. Unlike other NetApp Select bundles, the special pricing on SnapMirror is available for a limited time and only on FAS270 systems.

List prices of systems configured using the new FAS200 controller bundles and storage options are significantly lower than list prices of similarly configured standard systems. The lower list prices are intended to simplify and accelerate the configuration and quoting process for our channel partners. NetApp Select enables resellers to sell FAS200 series systems competitively, using standard authorized category discounts, without the need for pricing PVRs. (Although PVRs will be accepted, they generally should not be necessary with the aggressive pricing available through NetApp Select.)

Requirements for FAS270 with zero FC drives and all SATA storage in DS14mk2 AT expansion shelf

For these bundles, note the following dependencies when attaching DS14mk2 AT shelves to FAS270 systems with  zero (0) FC drives:

  • A maximum of two DS14mk2 AT shelves can be added to any one FAS270  with zero FC drives. Using 250GB SATA drives in two DS14mk2 AT shelves, the maximum external storage that can be added to any FAS270 system with zero FC drives is 7TB (28 spindles x 250GB SATA).

 

  • The total spindle count support is 28: 28 SATA spindles in two DS14mk2 AT shelves, attached to one FAS270 system with zero FC spindles.

 

  • Three DS14mk2 AT shelf support to FAS270 is supported in Data ONTAP® 7.0.5 and 7.1.1, 7.2 releases.

 

  • Customers can attach either DS14mk2 AT or DS14mk2 FC shelves to a single FAS270. Attaching both DS14mk2 AT and DS14mk2 FC to a single FAS270 is not allowed.

 

  • For system power-up considerations, two load boards will be installed in FAS270s configured with zero FC drives.

 

  • For future upgradeability, customers can remove the two load boards that are installed in the zero FC drives FAS270 and install new FC drives

 

  • This new feature and functionality support is available to NetApp channel customers and partners only.
