At NetApp Insight, the company has launched a new midrange controller designed to power the hybrid FAS8300 and FAS8700, along with the all-flash A400.
The active/active chassis is 4U without drives, connecting to NetApp's wide variety of expansion shelves, including in the A400's case, the NVMe NS224 shelf. The decision to go with the larger chassis gives NetApp some design freedom, longtime ONTAP users will appreciate some of the day-to-day management benefits. For instance, fan modules are located in the front of chassis and hot-swappable without removing the controller.
