NetApp: The true champion of storage
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We publish dozens of cloud instances for our customers across the globe. To promote our services we decided to use Google Cloud for its uptime, redundancy, ease of use, and support. NetApp Cloud Volumes Service helps keep our data safe, secure, and provides reliable uptime and redundancy for our applications. Myself and my Server administration team, use it directly. My Applications team connects to the servers remotely and can't even tell this is running on NetApp.
Pros
- Redundancy for backup
- Recovery for disaster recovery
- Speed
- Accessability
Cons
- The interface could be jazzed up a bit.
- It has a big learning curve.
- Cost
Likelihood to Recommend
This is great for safe, secure, storage. It's fast and reliable, especially since we use scalable Google cloud instances. I do not recommend this for test, low-end, or non-production instances. The cost is too high for test environments, and there is no added benefit instead of using slower storage. I also don't recommend using this if you are new to storage solutions.
