NetApp ASA in Action: Block Storage Made Simple

July 08, 2025

Simplified Block Storage Without the Complexity

While NetApp ONTAP has long delivered powerful, customisable storage, not every IT team has the time or resources to manage its full capabilities. For IT generalists or those juggling multiple roles, simplicity is now a top priority.

That’s where NetApp ASA comes in. Taking all the heritage of ONTAP and making it easier to deploy, consume, and manage, ASA targets organisations that want efficient Fibre Channel, iSCSI, or NVMe block storage without complexity.
