The total ranking of a product, represented by the bar length, is based on a weighted aggregate score.
The score is calculated as follows: The product with the highest count in each area gets the highest available score.
(20 points for Reviews; 16 points for Views, Comparisons, and Followers.)
Every other product gets assigned points based on its total in proportion to the #1 product in
that area. For example, if a product has 80% of the number of reviews compared to the product
with the most reviews then the product's score for reviews would be 20% (weighting factor) *
80% = 16. For Average Rating, the maximum score is 32 points awarded linearly based on our
rating scale of 1-10. If a product has fewer than ten reviews, the point contribution
for Average Rating is reduced (one-third reduction in points for products with 5-9 reviews;
two-thirds reduction for products with fewer than five reviews). Reviews that are more than 24 months old,
as well as those written by resellers, are completely excluded from the ranking algorithm.

What do you think of AWS Storage Gateway?
Amazon Web Services (AWS) today announced the beta of their new storage gateway functionality that enables access of Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Services) from your different applications using an appliance installed in your data center site. With this beta launch, Amazon joins other startup vendors who are providing standalone gateway appliance products (e.g. Nasuni etc) along with those who have disappeared from the market (e.g. Cirtas). In addition to gateway vendors, there are also those with cloud access added to their software tools such as (e.g. Jungle Disk that access both Rack space and Amazon S3 along with Commvault Simpana Cloud connector among others). There are also vendors that have joined cloud access gateways as part of their storage systems such as TwinStrata among...

What is most valuable?
It's pretty simple. Once you set it, it goes; and then the idea of being able to get it to the cloud very quickly. It's kind of a set-it-forget-it. We were able to get rid of a single courier who was actually taking separate tapes with that... more»How has it helped my organization?

More than a 500 volume limit. At the moment, it only supports up to 500 volumes for SnapMirror and that's a problem. We've got 750, so a larger limit for volume replicas for SnapMirror. It's quite simple to use. We haven't had many issues.... more»NetApp

What is most valuable?
The deduplication engine. Right now, we're at about 10.5 to 11 times deduplication of our backup data. That's really handy because we're only using about 200 terabytes onsite, but we're getting two petabytes worth of deduped expanded data.How has it helped my organization?
We were able to get away from tape for backups. Being able to backup directly to the disk and have it dump directly to the cloud means we're not 24 hours offsite, or 24 hour behind the times, where literally seconds is as fast as it can... more»What needs improvement?

Once you set it up, we have a Symantec Backup. We set up all the policies around the call data, because it's very simple. Therefore, you don't need somebody to babysit it. It's just set it up and forget it; plug it in and let it go.How has it helped my organization?
We used to have a tape backup. The tape backup has so many operations and orders. With AltaVault, everything is automatic. There is no one who needs to babysit and manage everything. It automatically does all these jobs.What needs improvement?
We use it in the plants right now. We use NetBackup just as a cataloging service, so if NetApp would probably make it in one box (integrating it), then it would work better to marry to other catalogs. That's the one thing. Everything built... more»NetApp

What do you think of NetApp Cloud Backup?
Valuable Features We want to archive off-site, because it's cheaper. We are using end-to-end encryption because we're putting out content in the cloud, so that's really important to us. • Improvements to My Organization We are getting rid of our tape libraries, so this is an alternative to that. We don't have to have 100s and 1000s of tapes. We are going into the cloud, so this helps us go into the cloud. It also has better security for backup data. • Use of Solution I have doing a PoC on it, so we're not in production. We're testing it right now for approximately 30 days. • Stability Issues It's pretty stable. I've tested it. It seems to be pretty stable. • Scalability Issues We haven't tested it. • Customer Service and Technical Support We haven't used...NetApp

What do you think of NetApp Cloud Backup?
Improvements to My Organization We meet the requirement of having stuff that's backed to the cloud. It's eliminated tape-based backup systems. There is better security for backup data, because nobody can get it. It's encrypted, in the cloud, so you can't. The cloud puts it in some kind of encryption. • Valuable Features You can store backups for a while. • Stability Issues We did have some issues with the software and the firmware. We had to update it, but that was it. • Scalability Issues It's not been an issue right now. We just purchased a new one. • Customer Service and Technical Support We have used tech support. If you get the right person, it's good. We have had issues getting to the right person, but once you get to the right person, they are...NetApp

What do you think of NetApp Cloud Backup?
Valuable Features I don't actually use the solution. I plan the infrastructure so I couldn't comment on the actual use. That would require a support team to do that. • Improvements to My Organization It allows us more flexibility with our backups. • Room for Improvement Well, again, I don't know too much about what's coming up, so I couldn't really comment on that, either. • Stability Issues It's a strong, stable product. • Scalability Issues Highly scalable as well. We're very flexible in how we use the product. • Customer Service and Technical Support Again, I couldn't speak to that myself. It would have to be a technical person that would do that. • Previous Solutions We use NetApp as a partner and consulted with their SEs and their pre-sales team...

It saves time within a disaster recovery case. • Room for Improvement I hope that the virtual device in the cloud will get more functionality! • Use of Solution I have used this solution for five years. • Stability Issues The product is very stable. • Scalability Issues Due to the fact that it is combined with Microsoft Azure Storage, the scalability is very good. • Customer Service and Technical Support In case of a support issue, the level of technical support is very fast. • Initial Setup The setup has to be done by a Microsoft certified StorSimple Deployment Specialist. • Other Advice Please ask for advice before implementing this product.

Primary Use Case Backup, archiving, and disaster recovery. • Improvements to My Organization I’m not able to answer this question, due to the sensitivity of the use case. I use this product in support of a government contract. • Valuable Features It's an inexpensive, simple solution that is easily implemented for an existing backup environment. • Room for Improvement Although we have not used this application long, I am not sure, in its current configuration, that we could scale this solution to meet our needs. • Use of Solution Less than one year.Have A Question About Cloud Storage Gateways?
