This section provides a high-level description of the data protection use cases, which constitute the focus of this paper. The remaining sections provide more details for each use case, such as the customer problem (scenario), requirements and challenges, and solutions.
Use case 1: Backing up Hadoop data
For this use case, NetApp NFS volume helped a large financial institution reduce the long backup window time from more than 24 hours to just under a few hours.
Use case 2: Backup and disaster recovery from the cloud to on-premises
By using the data fabric powered by NetApp as building blocks, a large broadcasting company was able to fulfill its requirement of backing up cloud data into its on-premise data center depending on the different modes of data transfers, such as on demand, instantaneous, or based on the Hadoop/Spark cluster load.
Use case 3: Enabling DevTest on existing Hadoop data
NetApp solutions helped an online music distributor to rapidly build multiple space-efficient Hadoop clusters in different branches to create reports and run daily DevTest tasks by using scheduled policies.
Use case 4: Data protection and multicloud connectivity
A large service provider used the data fabric powered by NetApp to provide multicloud analytics to its customers from different cloud instances.
Use case 5: Accelerate analytic workloads
One of the largest financial services and investment banks used the NetApp network-attached storage solution to reduce I/O wait time and accelerate its quantitative financial analytics platform.
