NetApp SnapMirror Scalability

The solution's scalability is good. There are no issues with scalability as it is provided by NetApp itself. It is just an application that transfers data and does not need to be scaled.

SnapMirror has an auto-scale feature. It has flexible volumes. We have five to ten users for it. I rate its scalability a ten out of ten.

The beauty of NetApp is that it's a scalable solution. When you want to increase the capacity beyond the range of a particular model, you can bring in a new model and plug it into the network and scale out seamlessly. There is no downtime. We have already upgraded the capacity a couple of times.

More than 10,000 people use NetApp SnapMirror in my organization. I rate its scalability a nine out of ten because its main functionality is scaling a network from a local on-prem solution. The solution is not vendor-locked in, so it's scalable for us.

NetApp has very good scalability because we can grow and store up to twenty-four nodes. We sell only two or four-node systems. Scalability to twenty-four or even twelve nodes is too high for this country.

There are some limitations when it comes to the scalability of the solution, but I don't know where the limitation is. There is often a limitation in the communication line between the sites. Also, a large part of the data is changed because all changes are replicated from one site to the other. So I'll say it's a mathematical issue. The developers should have a communication line that is packed enough to transport all the changes.

The solution is scalable. The upgrade is really smooth. It doesn't require any content. Once it's done, it's ready to go. We can scale out as little as we want. We have five servers right now and 900 users.

The solution is very flexible. We can move the destination from one site to another, or from one cluster to another without cascading the relationship, so transitioning is quite easy.

The solution is very scalable. We don't have plans to increase usage at this time, however.

I can’t say how far it goes, but I haven’t run into problems yet. It’s very scalable, although on very large data sets with a lot of changes, the interval between mirrors can be rather long.
