The SnapMirror is a good tool because, as long as you're going NetApp to NetApp, it's ultimately the fastest way to move data. We replicate everything to another site for disaster recovery.
We like the SnapMirror technology or Snapshot technology that allows us to recover directly off the NAS rather than backing it up to a secondary device.
Just the ease of management, and it's very highly scalable. We've got one cluster that has about one and a quarter petabytes of data, and then we replicate that to an off-site. So altogether, we've got over three petabytes of data. And if it wasn't compressed and deduped like it is, we probably have more like eight or nine petabytes of data. So it does a really good job with that.
AFF is obviously the faster model because our AFFs are all flash, and they're a lot faster.

Adaptive balancing is a valuable feature. Whenever an application needs more IOPS, it will automatically be reserved for higher-performance storage like SSDs or SaaS-based hard disks.

NetApp FAS Series follows a portfolio-based security system that allows us to manage folders and specify which files can be uploaded.
