Overall Satisfaction with NetApp ONTAP AI

Being a data engineer consultant building complex pipeline is important task, NetApp ONTAP AI makes it feasible, deployment and how NetApp ONTAP AI plays crucial role in faster returns in investment has being a major upside for me using it. While building deep learning pipeline I found functionalities a bit complex, documentation is amazing it cleared most things for me
  • Simplified AI data management infrastructure
  • Feasible DL pipeline building
  • Powerful solution to build data fabric
  • Documentation is highly technical
  • Support not upto the mark
  • Data science tool kit needs few improvement with added features
  • NetApp ONTAP AI Control Plane
  • NetApp ONTAP AI DataOps Toolkit
  • NVIDIA DGX A100 systems
  • It reduced the time complexity
  • It increased productivity
  • Faster computation
  • Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK)
1) Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (Formerly CNTK) dont have vast functionalities they are limited to set of rules. 2) They dont support all in one. I.e NetApp ONTAP AI I can analyze, inference and compute on simgle node or system. 3) pricing of Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (Formerly CNTK) is higher than NetApp ONTAP AI

Yes

If you want to deploy your AI system with precofigured solution and validated architecture and also want to scale your system, NetApp ONTAP AI is go to product. If you want to build not so large pipleline for analytics, or an ai system that dont require complex computation then its not recommended.
