The installation or the initial setup is done by OEM or NetApp engineers. After the initial setup is done, our internal team takes care of the other activities. After the management connectivity and physical parts are established in the backend, our in-house engineer takes care of it.

We got it done directly from the NetApp support team.

We partnered with CDW during implementation. They've been a fantastic value add for us. We also worked with a rep from NetApp, but we met a lot of NetApp people and CDW people. Both companies brought deep knowledge and expertise. We had a long list of questions that they answered to our satisfaction.

We started doing it by ourselves and then we had to call for help from a consultant. We were completely satisfied with our experience with that consultant.

We had a company that helped us implement the solution and handle any troubleshooting. 

I handled the deployment myself. 

I handled the implementation myself, although I would contact technical support to fill in any gaps that I might have had.

When we installed the new A300, we used NetApp Professional Services because the person who was brought in was able to do it a lot faster than I could. That is all he does, so he is exceptionally proficient at it. It took him about two and a half days, whereas it would have probably taken me a little over a week to complete.

Our partner is a good friend of mine. I've worked with them for a long time. They work with a lot of other companies. They're huge NetApp distributors.

We did have a partner work with us to kind of get it up and running so that was a big help. Our experience with them was very good.

We worked directly with a third party on the deployment and with NetApp. Overall, the experience was okay.

We implemented it ourselves. 

We used NetApp for the deployment and our own resources. The experience was very positive.

Initially, I implemented the solution myself. Later, I took help from a reseller to review it. Also, two or three executives are required to maintain the solution.

Because I worked with our reseller, Indocurrent, we had someone who had a substantial amount of experience with NetApp. I wasn't as hands-on in terms of deploying it, but I was there with him as he deployed it. I watched him, observed him, and learned from him. Learning from that person was actually helpful. 

It was very straightforward working with the reseller. They have always been responsive to us. I have nothing but good things to say about our reseller/integrator. I would recommend Indocurrent as a reseller.

We used a reseller for the implementation. We're in an ongoing relationship with them. They support us 24/7 if we need. It's going really well. We never had any problems, so it's nothing to really complain about really. I've been working with them for about five years, but the company's been working with them for about 10 years.

We did the deployment ourselves.

We used a NetApp professional services for this deployment. It worked out really well. We had involvement of several different support engineers to help with all aspects of the rollout.

We go through it with the customer. We first figure out why the customer wants it and what they will get out of it, rather than out of their previous existing system. From there, we set it up with the customer. We address all the issues that they have been working on so they see profit for the solution rather than it just being a storage system that might alleviate the problems that they have had.

Normally, we only have two people who deploy it. Every time we are about to deploy, we always have someone for the NetApp setup and a network engineer working with us to set up the network. 

The NetApp team helped us with the deployment and also helps with the patches.

We use consultants to assist us with this solution. We do hire Professional Services with NetApp to do some implementations. The technicians that we have been getting on-site for those engagements have been dwindling in quality, just like the technical support. A lot of the techs that we used to get really knew a lot about the product and were able to answer a lot of our technical questions for deployment. One of the techs that we had recently does not know anything about the product. He knows how to deploy it but doesn't know enough to be able to answer some of the technical questions that we'd like to have answered before we deploy a product.

We did not need any help with the implementation. I do everything myself.

I did the deployment, integration, and migration. We've done two petabytes in less than six months, and we're almost done.

The experience was great when it comes to our virtual environment. It was a very simple process. We use vMotion and it moves everything across. It is a little more painful when it comes to standalone systems and Oracle Databases, but the integrated migration product (Foreign LUN migration) that they have, once configured properly, works well.

We're a big corporation and we have the expertise in-house. Once in a while, we use Professional Services to get through some situations. Our experience with them has been very positive and we have a very good relationship with them.

We used a company called StorageHawk, and our experience was phenomenal.

I am doing the whole migration for the solution.

We used a reseller for the deployment. The only problem with doing it that way is that I find we did not have a good idea of the current roadmap. On some of the projects we purchased for, we might have made a different decision had we known what was coming six or nine months down the road.

Some of that was on us. We probably could have pushed for that, but having that reseller "middle-man" made it more difficult.

We used a vendor team who were 10/10.

Our customers deploy the solution with the help of an integrator. I provide consultancy and integration services as well.

We worked with partners for implementation and deployment. Our experience with them was pretty good.

We can install this solution ourselves.

We used an integrator who was very professional and helped a lot. They finished the implementation on time.

We used NetApp Professional Services and they were pretty good.

We need to do planning for the IP address, cluster names, and all the stuff that NetApp provides for the cluster planning workbook. Once it is deployed, we do IP address assignment to the nodes, local tier configuration, and protocol configuration, then a company can start using the box.

We used a reseller and a NetApp badged engineer, and our experience with them was very good.

We used NetApp, but we could've deployed it ourselves. NetApp Support knows the best practices. A good thing about NetApp is that even customers can easily deploy the storage. With other vendors, you usually have to entirely rely on them for deployment and all facets of the solution. 

We have a NetApp resident who works with us on-site. I would rate their service and our experience with them a ten out of ten.

We used an integrator and we had a very good experience with them.

We implemented in-house. It was dead easy. All you have to do is throw it in the rack, plug in the network and fiber cables, give it a name, and away you go. There is very little that actually needs to happen to make it all work. I think we managed to get one of them up in two or three hours.

We did have a rep on site as well that helped us with the installation. We have used it as part of a cluster to connect with other methods.

We used a NetApp consultant for the deployment, who we have also used for the sizing. Our experience with them was very good.

A NetApp support person did all our installations, upgrades, etc. Our experience with them was excellent.

The deployment was not complex, but it was done by our vendor team. Still, it was easy. It was not a big deal.

Our experience with our vendor team was good. They are quite a good technical team with good knowledge.

We used an integrator to help us with this solution, we used Sigma Solutions, and our experience was excellent. We worked hand in hand with them.

My team did the deployment.

We have a VAR, Tego Data Systems, whom we work with closely. They know our environment as well as we do. So, when we come to them with a need, we don't have to spend a lot of time feeding them background. They're ready to hit the ground running.

We used an integrator, Sirius. Our experience with them was excellent. Sirius already knew the environment it was coming from, the reseller was an IBM flash storage environment. They brought it over to a NetApp flash environment.

We used a reseller for the deployment. We had an amazing experience with them.

We had an in-house team do it.

We used our vendor partner for the installation. We do have multiple vendors with whom we deal with for the procurement of NetApp devises. So, we call with them to come and do the deployment for us, as per our company standards. Our experience with these vendors is good.

We used a reseller, IAS. They have helped us. Our experience with them is good. We have had them for 20 years.

We are an integrator and a consultant for our clients.

We do a lot of work with our partner, which is informative. They know the products well and do a great job working with us to meet our schedules and technical needs.

We had a vendor come in and they set us up.

Implemented by vendor (local partner and OEM engineer). They are really experienced.

We had great support from NetApp, but we did not do too much training. We have good knowledge of NetApp cDot. It took us a few days to install and configure.

I did the implementation myself.

We used Professional Services from one of NetApp's partners, Diversus, to assist with our deployment. Our experience with them as been good. They are one of the top NetApp partners in Sydney, Australia. 

I did the deployment myself.

We got a partner to do the setup. Their knowledge was there and we had no issues.

We did it with a vendor who were 9/10.

We performed the implementation.

For the installation and configuration, we've done the recent ones directly through NetApp. Our experience with them has been positive.

We did it in-house.

We used a mix of three days with NetApp, another three days with a partner, and everything else was done in-house.

We used a vendor team with in-house personnel. The vendor team were 9/10.

We deployed it ourselves. We worked for NetApp from 2012 to 2015. We did a lot of implementations in Chile, Argentina, Columbia, and Peru. It is very familiar to us.

We had a jumpstart, but I can handle the installation on my own.

We used a combination of a reseller/consultant. They did a great job handholding us all the way for any type of issues that we had with mission critical data. E.g., multimillion dollar uptime everyday ensuring we had virtually no issues.

We do it in-house. We do it completely by ourselves because we like to do this. Also it’s important because we really want to understand it very well. How the system works in general and by doing the set up by yourselves it gives you already the knowledge of all traffic.

I implement it for our customers.

We used a vendor team who were 10/10.

We used a consultant for the deployment. Our experience with them was extremely good. They knew what they were talking about, they made it easy, and didn't take a long time.

The majority of work was based on existing knowledge, but we also got help from the vendor.

We used a vendor team.

I implement it for our customers.

We used a reseller, EVOLTECH. It has been okay so far. There are not a lot of technical individuals with their group.

We were one of the first and even the engineer had some trouble configuring it for us.

We used an integrator, reseller, and consultant for the deployment. Resellers are resellers. I don't have a good or bad opinion of them. As for the integrators we had, I'd rather do it myself quite honestly. But it was okay.

Follow the instructions. That's all. It's straightforward; it wasn't hard at all.

We used an integrator. It was very good. We partnered with them a couple times before, which makes for a pretty easy and seamless transition. And ONTAP is easy that way anyway, but they do a really good job of making it an easy transition.

I'm the vendor team and storage administrator

We are integrators but NetApp consultants also help.

We implemented it through NetApp.

We implemented it in-house.

We implemented it in-house.

We do everything from the initial setup, to the integration with system backups, the whole chain, including the hardware, the software, the daily work, as well as the daily administration as well.

We did it in-house.

We implemented it through the NetApp team, who were good.

Implemented in-house.
