NetApp FAS Series Primary Use Case

TW
Senior Storage Administrator at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees

We have a variety of things. We have, like, user home drives. We have just a lot of human-managed unstructured data. We also have a data store for an AWS system, which is an automated workflow system. We store millions, if not actually billions of images. We've got stuff all over the place, but we also host storage for Linux and Unix servers that have NFS mounts for multiple applications. So it's a hodgepodge of a lot of different things.

I provide NetApp FAS Series to my customers. Currently, I have installed the solution for a couple of broadcast customers or TV channels. Since TV channels are 24/7 on air, redundancy, availability, and stability are very important. We are a system integrator company, and for TV channels, cloud operations, ingest operations, live editing, performance, and stability are very important.

I've been involved in daily operations like ratio to volume and aggregate monitoring. I've also worked on the ONTAP 9 manager, as well as an ONTAP upgrade of the operating system. I've also done a small implementation along with my colleague.

The use cases depend on the customer's specific needs. Factors like workload, legal requirements, and desired protocols would determine if FAS is a good fit. 

For example, if the customer has a large database workload, we might suggest AFF instead. But for most other cases, we can recommend FAS because it's more economical compared to AWS.

Primarily, we use them as backup targets. Additionally, we utilize them as archives or for slower-performing tasks, serving as masters for our customers.

My customers use the solution for production servers, databases, and Oracle applications. I did not deploy Oracle. I deal with only the storage and server side of the product.

We use the solution as a home directory for our HPC cluster. The users store important and reliable data on it. We are not using it for IO-intensive operations but as a reliable storage.
