Then find your goals...


STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 991 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which NetApp improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 991 standard requirements:

  1. Will NetApp force your customer to upgrade to a future version of ONTAP or element software that has additional data reduction capabilities and delivers higher storage efficiency?

  2. Will that storage system be a point solution solving a pressing need, or will that system be used as a platform to consolidate multiple storage silos into a single system?

  3. Can one safely assume that there is a deduplication throttle adjustment similar to the one that exists for the RAID reconstruct, letting you throttle up/down as needed?

  4. Are you adding equipment for the Synchronous Mirroring feature or the Asynchronous Mirroring feature to an existing storage array environment?

  5. Will deduplication be applied retroactively to all of the existing information on the volume or only to new information as it is written?

  6. Why is a warning displayed when attempting to create one or more data volumes in the root aggregate in Data ONTAP Cluster Mode?

  7. Is there a limit on the number of flexible volumes on which dedupe can be enabled, or is the limitation device dependent?

  8. Does the public have a right to information about the nature, volume, outcome of removal requests made to search engines?

  9. Does your usage pattern on the premises point out an application that could be more cost effectively moved to the cloud?

  10. Can purchase order or quote terms and conditions override your organizationwide contract terms and conditions?

Results

In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:

  • Diagnose NetApp projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices

Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make NetApp investments work better.

This NetApp All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
