Overall Satisfaction with NetApp FAS series
NetApp [FAS] is being used for my BFS client; the FAS series is used as NAS devices [that] provide files as a services to many users as well as for FC and iSCSI protocol. [The] FAS 8000 and 9000 Series have been used in [the] current environment.
- File as a service
- Faster Backup
- Data ONTAP
- Connectivity via FC/SMB/NFS/iSCSI
- [It provides] automation in workflow management.
- [The] L1 technical support is not good at all.
- [In my opinion, the] upgrades should be live and non-disruptive.
- SnapMirror
- File as a Service
- Storage provisioning
- Failover/Failback
- Overall, [our] business is satisfied with the product.
- [It has] reduced RPO and RTO.
- Dell EMC PowerScale (emc isilon), Dell EMC PowerScale SyncIQ (Isilon SyncIQ) and HPE Nimble Storage
Dell EMC PowerScale is [a] good product, however, the product is not good with small files; even after enabling the small file efficiency, the product did not perform well. However, [the] NetApp FAS series gave us the results we expected in our performance testing; after performing all testing, we decided to go with [the] NetApp FAS series. When it comes to NetApp [FAS] series, we don't have to invest in different products just to get slightly different solutions, it's like [an] all-in-one product.
