NetApp has really added a lot of features over the years to improve the product and performance. They can do things now like control ingress. They can control egress.
NetApp Private Storage offers robust disaster recovery, security options, and user control over storage. It excels in organized management and efficient ingress-egress performance. While stable and scalable, it requires better Microsoft integration and Active-Active features. Despite strong data protection and seamless NetApp integration, it needs improved hardware longevity and NAS/block storage integration. Custom scripts are needed to bridge on-premises data centers with cloud installations efficiently.
