NetApp SnapMirror Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services Reviews & Insights

We use NetApp for snapshots, snap vaults and snap mirrors. This is our preferred method for resolving our issues around ensuring we have quick and easy access to "older versions" of data. It is far quicker than the traditional method of backing up data. We use this solely to protect client data.

It is well suited to take hourly copies of data due to how quickly it does this. So far example, data that is used by multiple users at multiple times of the day is easy to present to the user if they make a mistake. It can be quickly recovered and also means the users can self-remediate.

Well from my perspective we provide end-to-end support for NetApp Snapmirror. Troubleshooting issues like snapshot policy on the source and SnapMirror policy on destination( i.e. DR site). Currently, we have a large customer base and we have overhauled around 500+ SnapMirror relations this year. Response of business is quite spectacular.

Response time is quite good. It is very easy to set up and use. Also, the filesystem which manages the snapshots work on your WAFL that is re-direct on write. Highly stable and efficient. There are very few or no scenarios where we have faced a customer complaint related to NetApp SnapMirror. Customers were quite satisfied with this DR solution.
