Independent FAS support after NetApp EOSL.
EOSL family

Independent FAS support after NetApp EOSL.

Yes. NetApp FAS can stay supported after SupportEdge ends. NETRAID maintains FAS 2000, 3000, 6000, and 8000 systems and shelves, including DS4246 and NS224, typically about 70% below a NetApp renewal. The ProLiant or PowerEdge hosts in front of the array can sit on the same contract.

Updated October 20, 2026

2000, 3000, and 6000-class FAS is EOSL and still in plants and hospitals. 8020, 8040, and 8200 are the common post-warranty quote. We diagnose from logs and fault LEDs and swap the part — including DS14 and DS4246 shelves that outlive the head.

ONTAP software stays on your entitlement. Hardware on the HA pair does not require a SupportEdge renewal.

FAS after SupportEdge ends

This covers hardware repair, failed disks, and controller parts. It is a common move when the array is stable and a refresh is not budgeted yet. FAS2020 through FAS6290 still serve 7-mode and early clustered ONTAP. We still replace controllers, NVRAM, and shelves.

Servers and storage on one contract

When a ProLiant host loses a path to a FAS array, one call to one team beats two vendors pointing at each other. NETRAID covers both sides. The HPE ProLiant page covers DL, ML, BL, Apollo, and Synergy.

FAQ

Questions about FAS.

Does NETRAID support NetApp FAS after SupportEdge ends?

Yes. NETRAID covers FAS controllers and shelves, including the FAS 2000, 3000, and 6000 series, 8000-class heads, and DS4246 shelves. ONTAP software stays on your entitlement.

Do you cover 7-mode FAS that is long past EOSL?

Yes, when the part still exists. 2020, 2240, 32xx, and 62xx are quoted from the serial. Clustered 8020, 8200, and 8300 use the same parts model.

Can HPE and NetApp be on the same contract?

Yes. One NETRAID contract covers FAS and ProLiant, along with Dell, Cisco, IBM, and others.
