NetApp ASA C400 SAN/NAS Storage System

SAN-optimized storage for critical enterprise applications | The challenge

Enterprise customers typically have both SAN-based workloads (ERP, databases, VDI) and unstructured data NAS workloads in their environment. Some customers separate these workloads based on internal policies that require dedicated storage to isolate some or all of the SAN workloads. Those SAN workloads need high performance, continuous availability, and operational efficiency to address constrained budgets.

The solution

NetApp ® ASA systems have you covered. These all-flash arrays deliver a simplified and consistent SAN experience for mission-critical databases and other SAN workloads. Built on an end-to-end NVMe architecture, the NetApp ASA systems deliver industry-leading availability, superior performance, and simplified data management across your hybrid cloud.

SAN-optimized storage powered by ONTAP

NetApp ASA systems deliver modern solutions to your SAN infrastructure. They enable you to accelerate your business-critical applications, make sure that your data is always available, and simplify your operations. The ASA systems include A-Series models designed for the most performance-demanding applications, and C-Series models optimized for cost-effective, large-capacity deployments. Together, the ASA A-Series and C-Series systems:

• Deliver exceptional performance to improve customer experience and reduce time to results.
• Keep business-critical data available, protected, and secure.
• Provide more effective capacity for any workload, backed by the industry’s most effective guarantee.

Fuel your applications with the right performance

NetApp ASA arrays are primed to take on any SAN workloads. Multitasking is not a problem. These systems stay sharp even while encrypting, compressing, deduplicating, and protecting your data.

Build a trusted SAN environment with the powerful ASA systems that:

• Support both NVMe/FC and NVMe/TCP, providing latency as low as 100 microseconds with ASA A-Series systems and millions of IOPS in a cluster.
• Accelerate your VMware infrastructure, Oracle, SAP, and Microsoft SQL Server applications to improve customer experience and reduce time to results.
• Meet the performance objectives for all your applications even while encrypting, replicating, and storing the data efficiently.

Keep important data available, protected, and secure

As organizations become more data driven, the business impact of data loss can be increasingly dramatic-and costly. IT must protect data from both internal and external threats, ensure data availability, eliminate maintenance disruptions, and quickly recover from failures.

Access your data with continuous availability

ASA systems ensure continuous access to your data during unplanned outages with symmetric, active-active controller architecture. With both active controllers capable of communicating to a LUN, this symmetric active-active configuration gives you uninterrupted access to your data, with rapid failover recovery.
