Effortless disk expansion enhances EC2 efficiency with a straightforward setup
In a traditional setup, if you want to add a disk to legacy systems, you need to purchase, find the hardware vendor, and insert it, which is a lengthy procedure. With Amazon EBS, if you want to add an additional disk to an EC2 instance, you can simply attach an EBS volume by clicking through a few options, and it's done.
Pramod-Talekar - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows customers to manage SAN and NAS data within a single storage solution
The tool's most valuable features are the SnapLock and SnapMirror features. If something goes wrong with the data, we can restore it. This isn't a mirror; we store data in different locations. If there's an issue on the primary site, we can retrieve data from the secondary site. Multiprotocol support in NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP is beneficial because it allows customers to manage SAN and NAS data within a single storage solution. This feature eliminates the need to purchase different types of storage.
