NetApp ASA

ASA systems provide continuous access to data during unplanned outages by using symmetric, active-active multipathing. With both active controllers capable of communicating to a LUN, multipathing gives you uninterrupted access to your data with rapid failover recovery. NetApp business continuity solutions help you maintain constant data availability with zero data loss and zero downtime in the event of a human-made or natural disaster. NetApp SnapMirror active sync provides application-level protection with automatic failover, enabling mission-critical business services to keep operating, even during a complete site failure. SnapMirror active sync also offers symmetric active-active support for block workloads on ASA systems across 2-node configuration at each site. It enables higher scalability and better performance, allowing you to distribute workloads across cluster without compromising the ability to protect your mission-critical workloads against disasters.

ASA systems come with a full suite of acclaimed NetApp integrated and application-consistent data protection software. Key capabilities include:

• Native space efficiency with cloning and NetApp Snapshot copies that reduce storage costs and minimize performance impact.
• NetApp SnapCenter software that provides application-consistent data protection and clone management to simplify application management.
• NetApp SnapMirror technology that simplifies operations with built-in data protection across the hybrid cloud.

Encryption and key management help guard your sensitive data on your premises, in the cloud, and in transit. Market-leading anti-ransomware protection for post-attack recovery safeguards your critical data from ransomware attacks and can prevent catastrophic financial consequences. With NetApp's proven and efficient security solutions, you can:

• Detect and defend against ransomware in real-time with guaranteed recovery.
• Prevent app disruptions, even during site failures, with integrated business continuity
• Utilize immutable snapshots, lockable data, multitenant key management, and RBAC (role-based access control) to prevent unauthorized access to data.
