We are in a VMware Intra environment, so we are utilizing NetApp Storage for our virtualization infrastructure.

We have certain application database servers, the data of which needs to be replicated or moved to an offline storage mode. That's where we bundle the offline or on-premise NetApp Private Storage.

We use the product for customized data storage features.

It back ends some ESXi through NFS shares. I think our database people use it some as well and we have SnapMirror. We've done snapshots for a long time and I found pretty good value there. SnapMirror, we just started using probably about six months ago. SnapMirror replaced MDMP and it's a lot faster. I mean we get backups off-site way quicker than we did with MDMP and MDMP is going to go away in about, I'd say a couple of months. I would say it's probably impactful of probably somewhere in the 1,000 to 5,000 users.

We are moving to using a lot of NFS (Network File System). I normally work with VMware on the private cloud and then I use NetApp on NFS protocol with 10G connectivity.  

Mainly I use it in two ways. I use a lot of hybrid flash storage. Hybrid meaning that you have a little bit of SSD (Solid State Drive) and then at the back, you can use either SATA (Serial ATA [Advanced Technology Attachment]) or SAS (Serial Attached SCSI [Small Computer System Interface]) disk. So I use the hybrid with SAS and SSD, or I just use all SAS.  

NetApp Private Storage is a network-attached device that helps us manage our storage easily. In addition, it allows for easy, seamless connectivity to our storage solutions.

We use NetApp Private Storage for block storage and NAS.

The primary use case is to maintain the marketing division's info. 

The storage is rather small. It is holding about 10 terabytes of storage.

It has performed great in the six years that we have had it.

We've primarily used the solution for private storage. 

It is used as a Cinder backend for an OpenStack cloud and for NFS storage and as block storage.

We use it for our company storage and the performance has been outstanding.

NetApp Private Storage is used for storing files and replication.
