NetApp Boosts Block Storage with New Systems

NetApp

NetApp, the intelligent data infrastructure company, announced the release of new NetApp ASA A-Series storage systems, all-flash optimized for block storage, enabling storage modernization for any organization. With these new systems and the continued advancements of NetApp’s intelligent data infrastructure, NetApp customers no longer have to compromise between operational simplicity, high-end capabilities, and low-cost storage.

The new all-flash NetApp ASA A-Series systems deliver three key benefits to help customers manage modern block storage workloads:

  • Simplicity : The storage solution is so simple that any customer can deploy, manage and upgrade it. Deployment takes minutes and provisioning takes seconds, making deployment of the ASA system quick and hassle-free, and day-to-day management is easy with just a few steps thanks to built-in AIOps and tight VMware integration.
  • Power : The new systems enable IT teams to accelerate VMware and database applications with market-leading performance, proven reliability, and intelligent data management. The ASA A-Series delivers ample performance and efficiency, from millions of IOPs to consistent sub-millisecond latency. With advanced features like scale-out clustering, seamless workload balancing, “6 9s” guarantee, NetApp ransomware recovery guarantee, and application-aware backup, users get market-leading storage to power and consolidate block workloads.
  • Affordable : Unmatched value with 25-50% lower upfront costs and improved return on investment over the long term. This pricing allows users to address budget constraints while modernizing to simple, powerful, industry-leading all-flash storage with high storage efficiency right out of the box. Low power consumption also delivers additional savings, and low operational overhead reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) over time.

To support the new ASA A-Series, NetApp has enhanced its Data Infrastructure Insight service (formerly Cloud Insights) to improve monitoring and analytics for the ASA platform. These updates help customers better manage the visibility, optimization and reliability of their data infrastructure to reduce costs and improve performance.

“With the new NetApp ASA A-Series systems, customers no longer have to choose between operational simplicity and high-end functionality, but can modernize their operations to meet the higher workload requirements on block storage,” said Sandeep Singh, senior vice president and general manager, Enterprise Storage, NetApp. “Affordable operational simplicity allows customers to take advantage of powerful storage systems while freeing up the time and resources to drive innovation across their business.”
