    Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager is great for the orchestration and management of its data protection workflows, with a leading multi-cloud integration solution and multiple storage location options. The downside of Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager it's the high price, compare to similar solutions that claimed the same results, but are less known.

    NetApp
    NetApp MetroCluster is suited for applications which require 100% uptime with no data loss. It is suitable for organizations who have the need to move their NAS services and workloads to another data center with minimal downtime and configuration. Due to the cost of the product, it is not well suited for NAS file shares that require greater than zero RPO and RTO's. NetApp asynchronous is better suited for this type of data.

    Alternatives Considered
    Arctera US LLC
    Due Company's strategy we selected Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager. Due to some strategy alignments, we choose Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager in order to have the replication to be managed by OS layer and not Storage one - where it's possible to System Administrators have the replication status and to check if everything is fine or not. If not the Sysadmin will able to try to stop/start replication from themselves.

    • By moving critical application data away from older based technology such as host based mirroring and to a centralized array based replication, the complexity of managing data from multiple source and destination servers has been removed.
    • The number of incidents compared to our previous legacy configuration is huge. Data uptime has been 100% available since the migration to NetApp MetroCluster.
