What do you like best?
Since my old place moved the netapp data management from a normal disk management to the cloud, this data fabric has been the best ever I have used from that time. This has been one of the deciding factor for our community guidelines where the disk replacement in this hectic situation has been difficult, this has been the solution for that. Even if the company supports disk replacement from their own guys, data fabric removed that problem completely from the system. The other thing which I love about data fabric is its compatibility in any of the environment and the speed even if it is one of the different kind of storage system used.
What do you dislike?
As of now, since I have used it for a small amount of time, this has been one of my least experienced software, still to make it visible, the nfs mounts are a little bit glitch-y kind of sensation. The main problem is snapshot automount which can be easily discarded when we add some coding from UNIX. Other than that, this is a wonderful product.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it buds if you have enough money.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
As its name itself suggests, cloud services has been the best since Netapp Data Fabric. So this has been removing a lot of stress and encoding is real smooth and easier in this situations compared to any other storage device.
