We are a manufacturing company with a mixture of physical systems located at manufacturing plants worldwide. We primarily have a presence in AWS for cloud regions where we utilize and integrate NetApp ONTAP.

I work at an educational institute that conducts medical research. We use NetApp for unstructured storage, including both SMB and NFS file shares. In the past, we have also used it for SAP and for Fiber Channel presented storage, specifically for Oracle databases. It is mainly for unstructured storage and research data.

There might be multiple use cases in my company, but in my specific area, we are using it for doing asynchronous sync between the production and the DR servers. We have a financial trading system that needs to have a common storage space so that the servers we are running can access the same storage in the HA mode, which is the high-availability mode of the Artemis and FIX engines. We are using NetApp storage to be accessed by those servers.

My use case for NetApp ONTAP is for backup purposes. I was taking a course on NetApp ONTAP through Udemy where I learned about taking backups of infrastructure services and performed practical exercises.

I am working on cloud development while on contract with a big organization. We utilize NetApp extensively as part of our cloud storage strategy throughout the enterprise. We use NetApp ONTAP quite a bit in both PoC type projects and production. We are managing petabytes of information and a worldwide cloud in multiple data centers.

I used NetApp ONTAP to provision storage resources for stakeholders in the environment.

My use case for the solution includes both business and personal aspects. Personally, I run a lot of file and storage activities at home, managing database operations, and I prefer using NetApp as my backend storage to store data in the cloud instead of relying on third parties storage. 

For the business case at my company, we utilize it effectively, and I support it myself by troubleshooting NetApp issues. In our organization, we mostly use NetApp ONTAP. We also use some features that come with NetApp, such as Cloud Insights and Systems Manager.

I have been using this solution for the past year to store our data. We are utilizing a combination of multiple instances, around 20 to 30, and configuring the storage with NetApp ONTAP. 

It functions like shared storage, the data that we use in the instances is stored with NetApp ONTAP. We have configured it as shared storage.

We manage our data systems with NetApp ONTAP through either the command-line interface or the graphical user interface.

We implemented ONTAP because it provides a unified management interface for all storage, simplifying administration by using the same language for both SAN and NAS environments.

Like NetApp Private Storage, I use the solution for file storage and data source. We use it daily when managing our storage and NetApp's operating system. We log in to it to check the status of the storage. We use it to store all our assets, like the web app, web applications, database applications, Oracle and SQL databases, and VMD.

We have multiple data centers in different countries where we need local access to shared storage and network storage. 

We have AFF platforms and FAS platforms from NetApp for either hot storage purposes or cold storage, with cold being our backups and hot being for our production applications. 

The types of storage volumes we have are for virtual machine hard disk storage. We currently are using VMware and will be switching away from that due to the Broadcom license situation, but NetApp ONTAP works very well with VMware as it is integrated effectively. We rely on it for that. 

Additionally, we use Kubernetes and have numerous applications hosted in that environment. We use multiple protocols for persistent volumes including NFS, iSCSI, and NVMe over TCP. These comprise our main use cases.

I choose NetApp ONTAP over their competition because NetApp ONTAP and its devices are very powerful, with excellent scalability and efficiency in input/output operations per second. The ease of use of their operating systems is something you cannot compare, as they are very stable, and I am always happy with this.

The main use cases for NetApp ONTAP are that it's a feature-rich file system technology, which can be viewed in different operations from my experience working as a subject matter expert on the management side and the AWS side. 

It's an operating system that works the same way as a traditional file system, where you need to have a separate compute for it, and it's quite intuitive that you can interact with it the way you would a Unix or Linux system. The operating system itself is uniquely based. Some of the use cases that customers use it for include file shares, which could be for protocols such as Linux or Unix protocols, as well as Windows CIFS and SMB file shares. 

The nice thing about it is that you can have these systems use the NetApp ONTAP file share, whether you are a Unix or Linux user, and the most helpful thing about it is that you can manage all those users and allow them to have permissions, finding different configurations when it comes to that. 

Another noteworthy feature is compression, which optimizes space, as it helps with deduplication to manage redundant files and optimize space. Moreover, it has its own disaster recovery and archiving solution called SnapMirror, which is their snapshot replication technology that replicates data to a secondary site for high availability and durability. 

In terms of emerging technologies, NetApp ONTAP can interact with large language models and perform natural language processing tasks, acting as a data source to train AI applications and efficiently query data. Additionally, with its in-built monitoring capabilities, NetApp ONTAP aids in indexing due to its structured file system.

My use cases right now are to provision enterprise storage to any end user in an enterprise.

We use it for both our all-flash FAS and traditional FAS systems. We have a relatively large FAS 9,000 cluster.

We're a software development firm, so we use it internally. We have two NetApp ONTAP systems at the office, and we have a DR site where we replicate everything. For client purposes, we are using CVO in the cloud to host our clients on it, using our software.

We manage all of our storage with it. In terms of the version, we're in the process of going to the newest version. It's probably 9.12.

ONTAP is Netapp's data management solution for on-premise and cloud datastores.

My usual use cases for NetApp ONTAP include configuring both SAN and NAS services for mail systems, web hosting systems, and also cloud services.

We deployed it for storage consolidation, core banking solutions and to host core banking applications. We have also deployed it for disaster recovery replication solutions. We have a combination of on-premises and ONTAP Cloud for data protection, replication, and instances.

We also use this solution for databases on flash and DFF deployed for core database systems to manage call database systems.

We are capable of implementing, migrating, and the configuration information of NetApp. We have 7-Mode and C-mode ONTAP operating systems from NetApp. 7-Mode, which is out of date and has expired from NetApp's vendor. They have created their own kernel for ONTAP, a cluster Data ONTAP. For the time being, they are only doing and providing the ONTAP cluster data, ONTAP to the customer. Customers who are using the 7-Mode data, 7-Mode ONTAP are systems that have not yet been upgraded. Whatever previous series hardware they are using, is incompatible with the C mode cluster data ONTAP. As a result, they are constantly taking care of and having to refresh their customers and providing the solution to the migratory or existing data to the new Data ONTAP system.

I've implemented many customized enterprise levels, and I've also done many migrations. Basically, storage that is currently in use, as well as a SAN protocol and how we are using it for all of our heterogeneous environments, such as VMware, Windows, Linux, and Unix. 

NetApp ONTAP is an operating system, similar to Windows, which we use for accessing the Windows client.

NetApp is storage similar to EMC. EMC is one of the storage vendors; they provide EMC, such as Dell EMC, Synology, Dell, and IBM. NetApp is one of the market's leading providers of SAN and NAS protocols to end users, as well as critical business solutions.

Currently, with NetApp application scenarios you can see that if you have a high,  business-critical application, it will require high IOPs to access this application from one of the storage options listed. Assume you're using an SAP HANA, or any other high IOPs utilization application, such as SAP, HANA, or any other tool. In these cases, NetApp has a solution. They have hardware such as an all-flash disc, which means they can use all-flash storage in between this solution fulfillment. If you have a hundred users logging in at the same time, you are using a business-critical application, it should not include any database applications such as Oracle Database. In such cases, they provide the SAN-based solution from NetApp and meet your NetApp storage requirements.

We use NetApp ONTAP for everything. Because it is hybrid, we use it in a private cloud environment and in our shared environment with a very broad range of IOPS requirements, which means we use it as the basis for our VMware environments and as a storage for databases. In the backup area, we use it with HDDs—with the cheaper ones—and for backup target as well. So, we use it basically for everything. 

We use the solution to manage storage. It comes with the hardware.

NetApp ONTAP is the obvious choice for what we're doing, which is the simplification of a hyper-converged environment.

As an automotive company, we are able to run some applications on NetApp ONTAP.

Our client's primary use case is for the storage aspect of the solution, mainly for the block size.

We use this storage device for databases, storing databases, and VMware. When it comes to databases ,we have Oracle, SQL, and mission-critical applications. Therefore, we need very good response times, and we get very good response times from NetApp All Flash systems.

I have about 500 volumes that I manage, and I love it.

We use it for everything, like the NAS and SAN functionality. It's a back-end for the host VMs and the Microsoft SQL Database, which is directly attached to them. We also use all-in-one file servers.

One of the classic use cases is the high availability for both block and file. However, many different technologies within NetApp are of interest to our customers.

We use NetApp ONTAP for many services concerned with banking solutions. 

We basically use NetApp Storage as mass storage within our offering. We also use it for backup storage, storage for emails, and sometimes for archiving. Mostly it is actually general-purpose file storage. 

We use pretty much every part of the product in our company. The core of our company is in the United States and Germany and we are using MetroClusters usually for that kind of workload.

We use this solution for Hyper-V, VMware, SQL, Enterprise Vault, and Commvault.

My primary use case for ONTAP is for VMware. We also use it for exchange and file storage.

We're using it as a file-based solution. The majority of our business users are file-based. We're also using it for virtualization for backup storage. Its programs are very good.

We are also evaluating the All Flash FAS solution. 

We use it to manage data in the cloud.

Our primary use is predominately NFS data stores, iSCSI LUNs for SQL databases, and CIFS file share.

My primary purpose for NetApp ONTAP is for the MetroCluster. We have two data centers and we have it housed there for high availability and fault tolerance.

Our primary use case for ONTAP is for all of the protocols we use like CS, NFS, EFC, ISKC.

The primary use case is for storing flat files. The secondary use case is as a conduit for long-term archiving.

We use ONTAP to take care of the filers. We have quite a few filers and we use it to increase and decrease storage and make new volumes. All the stuff we use Data ONTAP for makes managing all the filers very easy to take care of.

The reason that we use Data ONTAP for everything is that we have it on all of our systems, we have a lot of customers. We use it for our virtual environments in which we make a big data store. Our way to tell people is to just pop in VMs and they use it. We have a cloud environment and a lab environment. We either do NFS VM stores, people just pop in VMs or we put them on iSCSI, they connect to the VMs and poof they're there. We have NetApp and then the networking, so we're right on top as an oxygen service. It's used everywhere, production, development, whatever you got, we're there.

Our primary use case for ONTAP is that our whole platform is running on ONTAP. We have all the client data that we're using on the files, in our data center.

My primary use case is we have both Windows and Unix and they share file systems for compiling code. The big advantage with NetApp is the ability to file Linux symlinks in the Windows environment. 

I have use this storage appliance, which they have on-premise. It is for taking backup off onsite data. This is a storage and NAS device.

We use it for the security business. We use it mostly for capacity-oriented purposes, rather than performance-oriented.

We use it to store email files, mainly JPEGs.

Our primary use case is for serving the file server files. File storage is for the member offices and accessing that data.

It's our main storage platform for our business applications. We have SQL and we do a lot of video editing. We also have a lot of media and sound data. Radio stations and TV stations keep some of their data on it.

We use it to manage storage for our customers. 

Our customers use it for mission-critical applications, such as backup circuits.

It's our enterprise storage solution where we keep 95 percent of our data.

We use it for our mission-critical applications: All our SQL, Exchange, data warehousing, and anything with heaving I/O processing.

We are a storage provider for a government entity. We serve data to profilers and other government entities.

We use it for storing unstructured data.

I work for an oil and gas company. We go out to the field and get oil from the ground. The primary use case is for development and preparation for production. 

We are a NetApp distributor. We offer assistance for banking solutions, energy companies, and companies that do retail.

It is the easiest way to backup, restore data, and access data along with keep it secure. It has an easy interface to manage all the data.

We are using it for the cloud and storage: NAS and SAN.

We're using it for all of our enterprise architecture. So, we use everything from CIFS, NFS, Fibre Channel LUNs, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, and iSCSI. Therefore, we're pretty much using the gamut. We have a little bit of SAS storage tier, SATA storage tier, and SSD as well.

Our primary use case is network-attached storage.

We use it for SMB and CIFS for different departments. It is also used for HIPAA and FTC compliance.

ONTAP runs our Tier 1 data center. We use it for running all our virtualization, backups, etc.

We use it for on-premise storage.

We are using the NetApp solution to host our tier-two storage workloads. We use it for virtualization and as a database for applications such as Microsoft Exchange, SQL, and Oracle.

We use it for the NAS solution. We have a NAS infrastructure with NetApp ONTAP.

The primary use case is to move from Fibre Channel to SolidFire.

The primary use case for this solution is the storage and backup.

ONTAP is currently being used for data backups, migration of data, and volume management.

Our primary use case is file storage. We use it for SMB CIFs and Fibre Channel LUN for Hyper-V.

We use it for network shares and being aware of backups.

ONTAP is the OS for NetApp storage controllers. We use it to provision storage or line volumes for our internal customers requesting storage either for databases, the storing of flat files, etc.

The primary use case is as an application file server.

We use Data ONTAP to provide CIFS and NFS shares, as well as direct attached data stores for VMware.

• SnapVaulting
• SnapMirroring
• Backing up

We have an SAP HANA migration project going on. We bought NetApp a couple of years back, and our first solution was to migrate the data to the HANA boxes.

In terms of mission-critical applications, the first phase of migrating the legacy systems was to migrate all the mission- and business-critical applications to the new platform. The customer has a lot of legacy applications. Most of the mission-critical applications have been moved. The only mission-critical application that is left is the website application that the customer uses. Once that is done, all of the mission-critical applications will be in NetApp.

We use it with the All Flash FAS solution.

There are a lot of the reasons that we chose this solution. We are going the direction of automation in the cloud. It has flexibility and supportability around NetApp solutions and products.

We use it to manage our NetApps.

We use it for electronic design automation, build, and regression.

We use it as a file-based storage. We store a lot of unstructured and application data. Mostly data which needs to be shared across multiple mount points.

We primarily use it for our file server environment: all our home shares, group shares, etc.

We use it for enterprise storage. We use data ONTAP to solution and enterprise storage for our core data centers. We use a lot of SnapVault and SnapMirror features for disaster recovery and daily backups to meet SLAs.

We use it for VMware.

One use case is user files, when customers are trying to place their unstructured data and then access it remotely. A second case is is VDI. All the VDI uses have their home drives hosted in NetApp. In addition, we use NetApp for general-purpose, such as Unix applications, database archives, big data, when they need a lot of reads and fewer writes. That data comes into NAS. In our firm, we use it for tier-three and tier-four, which needs less than 20 millisecond response times. Those types of applications are deployed in NetApp.

We use it for all our storage requirements.

We use it for cloud. We have a big VMware environment with CIFS, NFS, and other applications. Most of the data is on NetApp.

We use ONTAP for systems management, running and managing storage appliances.

ONTAP, for us, is underpinning all the software that sits on top of our hardware. We manufacture the infrastructure side of NetApp appliances. We use the capabilities of ONTAP for our customers. It's a case of implementation of that software and using that software to manage the storage arrays we're putting into our clients' environments. We also use it for PoCs. We'll deploy the software and demonstrate it for customers.
