Netapp is great and always will be 1st tier storage,
But for many of our new use cases (SMB customers, IOPS over capacity etc) we are looking for lower cost solutions to compliment (work well with support wise) our huge ONTAP base.
What other solutions have others found compliments their Netapp ecosystem ?
(NB: we are running multiple 8.1.2 (7 mode) clusters and value the robust snapmirror, vfiler migration featureset
thanks
