NetApp's FAS (Fabric-Attached Storage), AFF (All-Flash FAS), and ASA (All SAN Array) storage systems are the company's flagship products. Such products are made up of storage controllers, and one or more enclosures of hard disks, known as shelves.

In the early 1990s, NetApp's storage systems initially offered [[Network File System (protocol)|NFS]] and [[Server Message Block|SMB]] protocols based on standard [[local area network]]s (LANs), whereas block storage consolidation required [[storage area network]]s (SANs) implemented with the [[Fibre Channel]] (FC) protocol.

In 2002, in an attempt to increase market share, NetApp added block-storage access as well, supporting the Fibre Channel and [[iSCSI]] protocols. {{As of | 2016}} NetApp systems support Fibre Channel, [[iSCSI]], [[Fibre Channel over Ethernet]] (FCoE) and the FC-NVMe protocol.
