Hi All.  We're looking for ways and strategy to migrate PBs of data from on-prem NetApp Arrays to Public Cloud - AWS/Azure. What are the considerations to be taken and methodology to be used for successful migration.  We want to know what will be best approach, and probably want to do an initial assessment first. And which tool to use:  NetApp Cloud Sync or NetApp CVO or Azure NetApp Files or Amazon FSx or anything else.  Or, first we need to use BlueXP DataSense to investigate.  Does DataSense also migrates. And, are these all work in tandem together  or are separate entities.  What other options are available for a successful on-prem to Cloud migrations.  Please advise.   Thank You.   ... View more
