Case Study: ASE achieves up to 75% storage savings and on-demand data control with NetApp Private Storage and StorageGRID Webscale

ASE Builds New, Innovative Cloud Services on NetApp

ASE is an Australian cloud provider that evolved from an IT break‑fix shop into a top trusted cloud vendor, serving over 200 companies across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and the USA. Facing fierce competition in the cloud market, ASE wanted to give customers simple self-service control of their data in public clouds via a web portal while differentiating on features, performance and security rather than price alone.

ASE launched NPS-as-a-Service and StorageGRID-as-a-Service using NetApp Private Storage and NetApp StorageGRID Webscale, integrated into its Cloud Track portal to enable on‑demand data movement, active global archives and policy‑driven data protection. The services improved performance and flexibility, let customers avoid capex with monthly billing, and delivered strong outcomes—customers saved up to 75% on storage costs, about 15% of Australian media content now flows through StorageGRID, and ASE achieved a solid ROI while competing effectively with hyperscalers.
