It would be nice to see technology supporting the Elastic Fabric Adapter on Amazon AWS, therefore getting RDMA technology for more low-latency connections.

Featured Reviews

Punit Waghela - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Specialist at Softcell Technologies Limited
Offers advanced features with notable emphasis on innovation
The best features of NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP include deduplication, compaction, and autonomous ransomware technology that native cloud storage solutions in AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud do not support. Moreover, NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP allows the use of multiple protocols including NFS, CIFS, and iSCSI, whereas native options may only support NFS and iSCSI. Customers already using on-premises NetApp storage such as FAS, AFF, or ASA can experience the same functionality on the cloud with NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP, which adds significant value. For data protection, customers can take advantage of the Snapshot technology available with NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP. This technology facilitates data recovery by allowing snapshots to be stored either on the same storage or on a disaster recovery (DR) storage. NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP helps us to take snapshots and store them on the same storage, with options for migration or replication of those snapshots to different storage, including on-premises DR storage or other cloud storage, providing excellent disaster recovery capabilities.

Cost-effectiveness and seamless integration boost long-term data management while file retrieval needs improvement
Wasabi is cost-effective, has no ingress and egress fees, and is reliable. Wasabi helps us in maintaining our enterprise-grade safety requirements because it's highly functional, allowing us to maintain redundancies required for some of our solutions. Wasabi is highly integratable because many systems successfully use it. It is extremely useful in facilitating seamless adoption into our current operational procedures. Many of the solutions that are on Kubernetes use Wasabi integration for their S3, and increasingly, virtually all of them now use Wasabi for their integrations. Wasabi's features of eliminating egress and API requests fees have ensured that we can run our social media sites without charging users for data, which increases the adoption of our platform. Wasabi's simplified pricing model is phenomenal in helping our organization predict and manage cloud costs.
