In this video, the StorageReview team heads to NetApp's RTP campus to go hands-on with the NetApp ASA A90—part of their All-SAN Array lineup. NetApp ASA is designed for one thing: simplified, high-performance block storage. Built on the ONTAP platform but stripped of file and object storage features, ASA targets organizations that want efficient Fibre Channel, iSCSI, or NVMe block storage without complexity.
We explore what makes ASA different from NetApp's traditional AFF arrays, how it stacks up for IT generalists, and whether it truly lives up to its promise of streamlined deployment and management. We go from rack to full provisioning—no training wheels—and test features like snapshot creation, replication, and real-time performance monitoring with Grafana and NetApp's Data Infrastructure Insights.
Whether you're supporting VMware, database workloads, or looking for an alternative to legacy SAN platforms, ASA brings enterprise capabilities with none of the friction.
