Likelihood to Recommend	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.

Pros	NetApp Data deduplication, compression, and compaction provide great savings compared to traditional host based storage Multiprotocol support (NAS and SAN) provide great flexibility Ability to easily run your workloads from either data center with minimal effort and no disruption was the key selling point Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Percona No answers on this topic
Cons	NetApp I would like to see more highly intelligent monitoring that can help determine where latency is coming from. Eg. Host, Array, Network or Fabric issues Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Percona No answers on this topic

Return on Investment	NetApp 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.
