Find out in this report how the two Modular SAN (Storage Area Network) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It changed the way we do Disaster Recovery (DR) around NetApp replication."
"I like the unified management feature because sometimes you end up running a single protocol on the entire system."
"A reliable and easily managed storage system is a key performance factor. The system also has more features than we require."
"It offers data compression and people management."
"One of the most valuable features offered is double-parity RAID, which guarantees that your data will stay intact. We're also able to provision storage and monitor which ones are really consuming storage."
"It has a very good implementation of the Active Directory services, so implementation into a Windows network is easy."
"The SnapMirror is a good tool because, as long as you're going NetApp to NetApp, it's ultimately the fastest way to move data. We replicate everything to another site for disaster recovery."
"For us, the greatest aspect of the solution is the fact that it just runs. It is amazingly resilient. That's very important to us, because we are basically, with some exceptions, have a 24/7 operation."
"I like its storage capacity, quick access to the data, speed, and overall storage management."
"There are some technical limitations, but it would be great to have in-line deduplication and in-line compression for the FAS series as well."
"I would like to see less latency and higher IOPS."
"The AutoSupport could be improved to be more proactive in certain cases."
"NetApp FAS Series should introduce an FTP application for the broadcast and post-production market."
"It may need more flexibility to fight with other competing arrays."
"We no longer have OEM support in South Africa which is not helpful, it can be difficult. They should add an office back to the country because it was better."
"Needs to add wizards for newer, inexperienced users."
"We are not able to connect to the support of NetApp from Sudan. We have to go through many agents for support, which makes it difficult."
"The main thing Oracle can improve is the cost. It would be better if Oracle opened up the system to enable integration with other vendors. Whether it's the database, application server, or storage appliance, they should make it easy to integrate them. They need to open up more to ensure that it can work in any environment and IT ecosystem."
