    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.

    Due to their vast areas of expertise, they can be leveraged in different projects. They can also be used to augment the current architecture and provide redundancy as needed. We use their engineers to review architectures and get industry recommendations.

    They are available when needed and the runbook is followed 80% of the time. There can be some missed processes, which can lead to problems.

    We were originally using Zerto for our data backup and redundancy. It was working great but was very expensive to run to only provide redundancy. We needed to move into faster live storage with redundancy and came across NetApp Cloud Volumes and have never looked back. NetApp Cloud Volumes solved this for us by being more affordable and more reliable, while working as live storage.

    We used hosting.com in the past. The customer support is significantly better. Knowledge of products is more. Better handling of expedited/emergency situations. Responsive to feedback. The account rep is available for any escalations. Due to the vast area of expertise, we leverage them for different aspects of infrastructure
