“Data Center Archiving and Replication in ONTAP Deployment”

Mar 25, 2026
Greater experience, I installed and configured it in 4 different data centers to archive data and replicate it for backup and disaster recovery. With ONTAP, you can manage multiple FAS so you can replicate or move your data and volumes, and configure and scale your environment. If you configure it well you have some strong features like live migration and hot maintenance.

    NetApp is a company like no other. The level of service and knowledge has been extremely helpful. Getting a filer shipped and up and running takes no time and if any issue should arise they are able to resolve it quickly. From their sales to tech support they are amazing to work with and treat you and your issues like you are their most valuable client.

    We have been using NetApp NAS as our company-wide file server for over 10 years. Compared to our previous vendor, we have had almost no service outages and are using it comfortably.

Reviewer Insights for: NetApp FAS

NetApp FAS Likes & Dislikes

Like

You can manage multiple SAN protocols like FC and iSCSI and SAN protocols like NFS and SMB CIFS. Great integration with the principal cloud provider. The hardware is very strong and really powerful, it offers the possibility of redundant components and guarantees real reliability. The support is perfect. They are precise and on time, and if authorized, they can even move around independently.

Like

It's reliability. It just chugs along without needing constant oversight and maintenance.

Like

The cost and performance. Our FAS is saving us each and everyday on storage. For a company that deals in storage one would think they would want you to buy more and more, but with their products like StorageGrid and the FAS we are saving more and more which helps lower our annual spend.

Dislike

The product is a bit dated, but NetApp now offers better performing products. It is quite expensive. You need to have the necessary skills or proper training.

Dislike

Customer support is not really great.

Dislike
