SAN JOSE, Calif. - Tuesday, 11. February 2025 AETOSWire
New simple, powerful, affordable block storage systems power critical applications
(BUSINESS
WIRE)--NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the intelligent data infrastructure
company, today announced updates to its enterprise storage portfolio,
expanding the NetApp ASA A-Series with new systems designed to
accelerate and consolidate block workloads for organizations of any
size. Alongside the announcement of new cyber resiliency capabilities,
these systems enable customers to create silo-free data infrastructure
that both runs on and is built for intelligence.
Organizations
have to reimagine their data strategy to access the data flexibility and
confidence they need to successfully modernize their IT operations to
drive efficient innovation. Today, NetApp launched three new enterprise
storage systems that give customers even more options for simple,
powerful, and affordable storage that is part of an intelligent data
infrastructure framework capable of meeting workload-specific
requirements now and for years to come.
The new high-performance
NetApp ASA A20, A30, and A50 systems make block storage available to
companies of every size for mission-critical apps like databases and
virtual machines. They are ideal for smaller deployments including
remote or branch offices with a starting price as low as $25K. The
NetApp ASA systems deliver:
Simplicity: Customers can use the
NetApp ASA systems to modernize their operations with effortless
storage which they can deploy in minutes, provision in seconds, and
protect with one click. Common management workflows across the entire
storage environment, including NAS and SAN, enable customers to enjoy
simplicity at scale that can grow into the future.
Power:
Customers can operate faster and more agilely with a storage
architecture that delivers consistent performance and the flexibility to
start small and scale to PBs of capacity. Built-in business continuity,
a 99.9999% data availability guarantee, and a ransomware recovery
guarantee help reduce operational risks for customers so they can
operate worry-free.
Affordability: Customers benefit not only
from upfront costs 30-50 percent lower than competitive systems, but
also from better return on investment driven by up to 97 percent lower
power consumption and low operational overhead when modernizing to
all-flash ASA.
“In less than a year, NetApp has refreshed our
entire unified, block-optimized, and object portfolio and highlighted
our commitment to relentless innovation,” said Sandeep Singh, Senior
Vice President and General Manager of Enterprise Storage at NetApp.
“With the industry's most comprehensive storage lineup with built-in
cyber resiliency, we offer systems that are faster, simpler, more
scalable, and more affordable than the competition—tailored to any
workload or budget. NetApp enables customers to rise to the challenges
and opportunities of modern data management with an intelligent data
infrastructure that optimizes operations, reduces risks, and accelerates
AI transformation.”
These new ASA systems will also be available
in a FlexPod converged infrastructure, delivering additional benefits
of simplified data center operations and accelerated deployment of
enterprise applications through pre-tested and validated architectures.
NetApp
is continuing to enhance the built-in cyber resiliency capabilities of
its enterprise storage portfolio. Later this year, NetApp will release
NetApp ONTAP® Autonomous Ransomware Protection with artificial
intelligence (ARP/AI) for Block. This update will build on the existing
capabilities of ARP/AI, the first real-time threat detection and
response for NAS systems, expanding its cyber resiliency protections to
SAN customers.
To further reduce the operational risks for
businesses, NetApp is launching the Ransomware Detection Program. In the
event that certain ransomware attacks are not detected, this program
assists with recovery using NetApp Professional Services free of initial
charge.
“As the preferred data infrastructure provider for
Aruba, NetApp is enhancing our IT offerings with intelligent data
infrastructure that helps us optimize data center solutions and deliver
joint innovation across Europe,” said Fabrizio Garrone, Enterprise
Solution Director, Aruba S.p.A. “As we scale operations to meet the
growing demand for cloud services, maintaining scalability and
flexibility is critical. NetApp ONTAP stands out for its exceptional
usability, simplicity, and uniformity, allowing us to devote technical
resources to customer service instead of training or tedious
operations.”
“SAN modernization is a huge opportunity as the data
needs of growing businesses expand with their operations,” said Scott
Sinclair, Practice Director, Cloud, Infrastructure and DevOps,
Enterprise Strategy Group. “Companies need a comprehensive data strategy
that will carry them into the future. At the same time a shortage of IT
skills and tight budget constraints means that many small businesses
don’t have storage specialists available to develop an intelligent data
strategy. The new ASA A-Series provides a simple, powerful, and
affordable foundation to carry them into the future.”
