This solution its not only works for the backup parte could be also used as a ransomware solution when the endpoint security has failed, so you can recover fast and quick.

The team took a little time to understand the implementation part of the product though NetApp has good service support.

Cost is very highly compared to other vendor like Panzura or Nutanix

Nothing, go for it, give a try, if you can make a PoC prior to deployment its awesome because you will know the best approach for the implementation.

    Best appliance to be used for hosting filesystem data and also can be used for backup from NetApp Can be used to host huge amount of data on this appliance as deduplication factor is there to save more than the actual capacity, also this device moves data to cloud for data not being used frequently, so this also helps to extend actual capacity Can be also used to save your backup data from any backup application and works very fast Has data move/ replication feature to copy data from local storage to cloud storage, so this also act as DR
