Just a little over a year ago, we launched our external NetApp user community to provide a safe place for customers and partners to engage with their peers and NetApp experts. With over 21,000 community members to date, NetApp community is having a positive impact on how our customers engage with their peers and NetApp experts. Customers leverage NetApp communities 24X7 to get answers to their technical questions, resolve simple support issues, and learn more about NetApp products. Customers and partners are consistently sharing their ideas and leveraging communities when creating or enhancing their own storage architecture.

I have to admit being an engineer, this is one of the best communities I have seen. Passion among the members is commendable. Info is easy to find, love all the educational materials, and a free training from netapp University is a cherry on the top. Well
