Overall Satisfaction with NetApp Cloud Volumes Service for Google Cloud

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
  • Excellent ROI
  • Ease of use
  • Expandable
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.

Did Google Cloud NetApp Volumes live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Google Cloud NetApp Volumes go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Google Cloud NetApp Volumes again?

Yes

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.
