Our clients are mostly enterprises. The tool is very scalable. I rate the scalability a nine or ten out of ten.

It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

My organization has 315 users of NetApp Snapshot.

The scalability is very good.  The system can be as small or as large as needed.  Once in place, if I need to add more storage, I just add more storage. It's a relatively simple process that happens once or twice per year.

I don't think it is a scalable solution. So, I will rate it a one out of ten. I don't think it's a very scalable solution.

The solution’s scalability is good.

Over 10,000 users are using this solution.

I rate the solution’s scalability a ten out of ten.

The scalability of NetApp Snapshot is very good. A lot of the features of NetApp are built around Snapshots itself.

The can be some performance degradation if the user misuses the solution. For example, if the user is running too many Snapshots. It is not NetApp's fault, it is the fault of the user.

NetApp Snapshot can be scaled.

The disc arrays can be expandable, that's what the NetApp does it sells you hardware and it's a benefit for the company to make it available to the end-user to add storage easily. It's can be an easy sell for them.

Right now, we don’t plan to increase usage. We have 150-200 people on the solution currently. We will still use the solution, but not so extensively.

The solution is scalable, and approximately 80 people use it in our organization.

Scalability is very good. For example, if you start with the most elementary package, you can easily migrate to the mid-range package. All you need to do is change your contracts. Once you address your contracts, the product is already scaled to the mid-range. The same thing applies to the enterprise. Because of the way it is structured, you have the entire structure of the product already there. The solution that we use for the entry-level is the same solution that we use for the mid-range and also the same structure we use for the enterprise version. So the only thing that makes a difference are the contracts. This structure makes it very easy to scale — vertically and also horizontally. So the scalability aspect of the product is very, very good.  

We have all types of customers. Our clients are small, medium or enterprise companies. If they are a small company just starting, there is a NetApp version for them and they can start with the minimum contract. If they are a medium-sized company, there is a version available for their needs. If they are an enterprise-class company, they can start with the enterprise contract. Mid-sized and small clients can scale up as they need to just by paying more to upgrade the contract. It is very scalable.  

One last thing is that you can have both NAS (Network-attached Storage) and SAN (Storage Area Network) in the same storage component. So when they buy the product they can use the same storage for both NAS and SAN and everything is embedded in the system.  

By itself, it isn't really correct to talk about the scalability of Snapshot. Snapshot just takes what is essentially a photo of the current state of the data. That photo itself cannot be scalable. As far as the whole system — such as the storage capacity and the hardware components — this is scalable, but not the Snapshot itself. Imagine a hard disk which is part of your computer and this computer can be part of a larger network. The network can be scalable or not scalable. Your computer, which contains the hard disk, can be scalable or not scalable. You can add CPUs, you can add memory, you can add additional hard drives and so on. But the hard disk inside your computer, can not be scalable or not scalable. It's just a component.

Scalability is different from the other solutions that we have used. We haven't needed to scale yet but if we were to, it has good capabilities. We have around 200 users using this solution. 

No.

This solution is scalable. We have approximately seventy-five users.

We have no plans to increase our usage at this time.

Scalability is good. It's very easy to expand if you need to. We've been happy with the scalability offered. We have about 2000 users currently.

In my opinion one would easily be able to scale on this solution. We currently have about ten users.

The scalability is good.
