FSx Recommendation for NetApp Report
The FSx Recommendation for NetApp Report is a downloadable Excel report available in the Assessment Reports section. This report provides recommendations for optimizing Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP implementations. It's built on data collected via the Agentless Data Collector (ADC) from your NetApp ONTAP systems (v9.6+), ensuring performance and cost efficiency.
The Cloudamize FSx Recommendation for NetApp Report is a specialized report within the Cloudamize platform, specifically tailored for organizations considering migrating their on-premises NetApp ONTAP storage to Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP in AWS.
Purpose: This report analyzes your existing NetApp ONTAP storage environment (collected via Cloudamize's Agentless Data Collector) and provides data-driven recommendations for leveraging AWS FSx for NetApp ONTAP.
Key Insights: It offers a detailed analysis of your NetApp storage's actual capacity, IOPS, and throughput. Based on this, it recommends the optimal FSx for NetApp ONTAP configurations in AWS, including throughput capacity and storage tiers (SSD/HDD).
Cost Optimization: A crucial aspect is the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) comparison, showing potential cost savings by moving your NetApp workloads to AWS FSx for NetApp ONTAP, helping to right-size your cloud storage needs.
Migration Planning: The report assists in planning the migration by aligning current NetApp setups with the features and capabilities of FSx for NetApp ONTAP, enabling better decision-making for a seamless transition.
