My company uses NetApp AltaVault for the functionalities it provides, like file share and home directory share.

We use the product mainly for data archival. For instance, a port we deal with uses it for its video archival. They have a lot of needs around that. They've got to record everything that happens at the port where containers are being loaded from trucks, ships, and back and forth. They have to monitor all that for safety purposes and keep a good amount of retention, unfortunately, due to some accidents that have happened there.

For large data sets, file data sets, file and object data sets for archival is the primary use case that I've seen it used for where we don't necessarily want to keep this on a full-fledged filer. We need to get it down and tear it down, potentially leveraging some cloud buckets as well.

We use the solution more for archiving. It's like having the data outside of the place and that's with the indexing and everything.

It's an object store. It was used for archiving. They're kind of doing away with it in favor of just using object native ONTAP. It doesn't really seem like something that's still being developed. It's kind of being replaced within another solution set within NetApp.

We primarily use the solution as an email backup and for some SharePoint instances on the cloud.

Our primary use case or this solution is data backup.
