Offers advanced features with notable emphasis on innovation

The best features of NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP include deduplication, compaction, and autonomous ransomware technology that native cloud storage solutions in AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud do not support. Moreover, NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP allows the use of multiple protocols including NFS, CIFS, and iSCSI, whereas native options may only support NFS and iSCSI. Customers already using on-premises NetApp storage such as FAS, AFF, or ASA can experience the same functionality on the cloud with NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP, which adds significant value. For data protection, customers can take advantage of the Snapshot technology available with NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP. This technology facilitates data recovery by allowing snapshots to be stored either on the same storage or on a disaster recovery (DR) storage. NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP helps us to take snapshots and store them on the same storage, with options for migration or replication of those snapshots to different storage, including on-premises DR storage or other cloud storage, providing excellent disaster recovery capabilities.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP is easy to use and gets the job done, and the granular ability to divide up the performance and the amount of storage you want is really fantastic."

"So a lot of these licenses are at the rate that is required for capacity. So they're they're able to reduce the license consumption and also the consumption of the underlying cloud storage."

"It makes sure we have control of the data and that we know what it's being used for. The main thing for us is that we need to know what applications are consuming it and responsible for it. The solution helps us do that."

"Snapshot copies and thin clones have made our recovery time a lot faster."

"The main benefit we get from this product is the ability to deploy it anywhere we want, whether that's on-prem, a remote physical location, or in the cloud. It doesn't matter from an operational perspective where it is. The command line and operating system are the same."

"Cloud Volumes ONTAP is great because of the storage efficiencies that it provides."

"It manages our environments with a single purview of data management, especially as each variant of ONTAP uses identical metadata and file system formats."

"If you have a fair amount of experience with NetApp, you can work on it very easily."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pros

"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud provides significant cost reduction with NETIO Cloud's offering."

"The application backup is excellent, and using Veeam for backing up Kubernetes environments is a valuable tool."

"I recommend it to other companies due to its reliable solutions, significant cost reductions, and comprehensive functionality."

"Dealing with cloud solutions is simple and removes many headaches from troubleshooting and implementing the solution."

"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud’s most valuable feature is data backup and replication."

"I find Veeam to be a good tool for backing up Office 365 and virtual machine environments."

Cons

"I think the challenge now is more in terms of keeping an air gap. The notion that it is in the cloud, easy to break, etc. The challenge now is mostly about the air gap and how we can protect that in the cloud."

"I would like this solution to be brought to all the three major players. Right now it's supported only on AWS and Azure. They should bring it to Google as well, because we would like to have flexibility in choosing the underlying cloud storage provider."

"I would like some more performance matrices to know what it is doing. It has some matrices inherent to the Cloud Volumes ONTAP. But inside Cloud Manager, it would also be nice to see. You can have a little Snapshot, then drill down if you go a little deeper."

"NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP should improve its support."

"How it handles erasure coding. I feel it the improvement should be there. Basically, it should be seamless. You don't want to have an underlying hardware issue or something, then suddenly there's no reads or writes. Luckily, it's at a replication site, so our main production site is still working and writing to it. But, the replication site has stopped right now while we try to bring that node back. Since we implemented in bare-metal, not in appliance, we had to go back to the original vendor. They didn't send it in time, and we had a hardware memory issue. Then, we had a hard disk issue, which brought the node down physically."

"The encryption and deduplication features still have a lot of room for improvement."

"The navigation on some of the configuration parameters is a bit cumbersome, making the learning curve on functions somewhat steep."

"The DR has room for improvement. For example, we now have NetApp in Western Europe and we would like to back up the information to another region. It's impossible."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP cons

"I do not have notes for improvements."

"There could be a feature to take a snapshot for version backup."

"Some of the prerequisites for Veeam are challenging."

"The licensing could be improved, particularly by providing a 'pay-as-you-go' option through Azure, AWS, or GCP portal itself."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Some flexibility around the licensing model would help. The product is licensed based on capacity. Basically, the largest capacity license that you can buy is 368 terabytes. At this point, NetApp is addressing some people's concerns around this."

"It is expensive. There are no costs in addition to their standard licensing fees."

"Cloud is cloud. It's still expensive. Any good solution comes with a price tag. That's where we are looking to see how well we can manage our data in the cloud by trying to optimize the costs."

"The pricing could be improved. It is a good product, but it is very expensive for me."

"It is not a cheap solution because we need to pay for the license and pay for Azure resources as well."

"For enterprise customers, it's a very cost effective. But in the SMB segment, yeah, pricing is a little bit challenge for your time."

"We find the pricing to be favorable due to the educational sector we belong to."

"Once we deploy the pay as you go model, we cannot convert this product as a BYOL model. This is a concern that we have."
