The number of people required for maintenance depends on the organization's requirements and size.

Our organization is enterprise-level.

I recommend the solution to others.

Overall, this is a good product and I recommend it. It has all of the features that we need at the moment. We expect to maintain it for the next five years.

This is a good storage box and I would recommend it. It depends on how it matches with your IT infrastructure and the other components.

I would rate this solution a nine out of 10. 

Make sure you explore all solutions and use cases for StorageGRID. If you are using it for backup, ensure you understand both the backup and the restore site. At the time of implementation, we used AltaVault. However, we never talked about restoring the data on the DR site. Apparently, if you want to restore data, you need to open the S3 bucket but you also have to use the same AltaVault appliance to restore the data.

Look at StorageGRID product because it hits that sweet spot of what you are trying to do as a service provider from an S3 perspective.

There are a couple of opportunities that we're looking at for IoT analytics or machine learning in the near future.

It is definitely a great investment for larger companies.

I would highly recommend this solution for video storage because of all the benefits it has given us. It gives us all the storage that we need while the performance is there. We have no bottlenecks and the price is attractive.

I went to a session here where we could start doing automation with Perl scripting. It just hasn't been implemented yet. Now that we know that it is available, we might start doing that.

I rate this solution nine out of 10.

I rate NetApp StorageGRID a nine out of ten. 

The main reason why we exclusively use NetApp is because of the unified way that we can monitor it, manage it, and organize all the accounting around it. I'm sure there are other storage options that are cheaper or with better performance, but with relatively limited resources, we cannot spread all our knowledge to do every kind of storage.
