With NetApp E-Series, when we are running active-active NAS4, sometimes due to either an issue or a bug, we experience failures. At least twice yearly, we have seen this issue. When it occurs, we lose critical systems such as MQ.

Though the performance is there, if NetApp wants to be competitive with the others, it must improve their business continuity.
