It’s only natural for us to do this. We have strategic business relationships with both Apple and NetApp and we tend to like both of these technologies. A result of the IronBrick, Apple and NetApp synergies is NTAPCalc. It is a simple little app that allows a NetApp administrator/customer/account manager to quickly do the following on their iPhone:
- Calculate Raw and usable capacities by selecting drive sizes, number of drives, snapshot reserve percentage, raid group size and hot spares
- Provides pie chart of the same depicting the distribution of those capacities
- Provides handy recommendations while sizing
We hope that this is the first of the many iPhone applications we bring to our customers. (iPhone Ops Mgr, I dare say ? )
Currently, this app is distributed only in an ad-hoc mode (used by iPhone developers for beta releases), primarily because we need to make sure the legal peoplez from both sides are A-OK. Ad-Hoc mode of distribution means that I can only distribute this app to 100 devices, after registering their device unique ID. It’s actually much easier than you think…
Some additional screenshots of the iPhone App:






Can I get a copy, please?
That’s cool! :) What’s next?
Woa… thats cool… can i sign up for a copy as well? ;)
My company does put NetApp to a good use and since i just got to learn how to handle NetApp this application would be a really nice to have! ^_~
This rocks…can I get a copy
Great looking app.
I am continually having to calculate this information, would be so handy to have it on my iphone rather than having to fire up the laptop.
Just another request for a copy….I find myself using NetSize all the time (Synergy is nice but takes a bit to fire up) and this would be fantastic.
This is GREAT! I spend sometime calculating and trying to figure out. I even create spreadsheet. This is much better and simpler. I have two requests please:
1. can I get a copy?
2. does it work with GX systems as well?
This application looks interesting.
I would appreciate if you can send me a copy.
I have a Iphone 3G and would like to test this.

Hi,
this looks great and would be a fantastic timesaver. How could I get a copy?
Cheers,
Achim
@Mohammad – Not sure about GX but their calculations tend to be the same, I reckon.
For all those who are wanting a copy of this, know that this is in an ad-hoc mode and we are working with the NetApp marketing folks on the best way to put it to good use.
so where do you get this iphone app?
Hi Rajeev,
How do we go about getting this for the iPhone. Is it still possible?
Thanks,
Ken
Hi Rajeev,
Your NetApp app looks great. I’d love to get a copy…
Thanks,
Randy Stutler
Dear Rajeev,
Fantastic! Thank you for putting up a great application for NetApp.
Let me know if I can be a beta user for the app.
Regards
Sathish
Rajeev,
Excellent idea! I would like to use this if you would be so kind to let me have a version. I work
for a Ntap partner, so its def. handy!
Cheers,
Eric
Rajeev,
I’m very interested in getting this app. I’m a current iPhone user. I am a Professional Services Consultant for NetApp so this would be a very very useful tool for me. PLEASE add me for someone that can get this app.
Thanks,
Rick
So how does one go about getting this?
Rajeev,
This looks like a handy little app. Please add me to the list.
Thanks,
Ben
Cool app. Can I get a copy?
This is great! Can I get a copy of it to play with?
I’m the product manager for Filerview and our upcoming System Manager product.
cheers,
Steve
Hi Rajeev,
I’m an SE for NetApp in the UK. From what I’ve seen this looks like a really good idea for all those people working for or who are partners with NetApp (and of course who have an iPhone).
I’m sure it would be a really useful application for everyday use so would like to get hold of a copy. I would really appreciate if you could add me to the beta testing list also.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
This is actually really neat! I would love to play with it
Hi Rajeev,
this looks amazing! how would we get a copy of this app?
All –
You are most welcome. I really did not expect this amount of excitement and great feedback. Thx guys!
Rest assured that we’ve asked the NetApp folks to see what it takes to open it for, at least for limited distro. As soon as I know, I’ll share! (and some additional screenshots of some err.. next app!!)
Please make this generally available!
Rajeev,
I am interested in this application have you used all 100 for IPhone.
Rajeev,
Your experience in Mac and NetApp integration has peaked my interest. I am running up against some issue’s in this area and would like to find out what you have done to allow the two to play nice.
Hi Rajeev, I too would love to get a copy of NTAPCalc. Let me know if/how I might do that. I work for NetApp and have dabbled in some iPhone Web App development, but not a full blown app like this. Would love to help spread the word of what you’re doing. Dave Korns
Britt
Certainly. I’ve sent you an email.
I would like to get a copy of this app.
Thank you,
Chris
Hi Rajeev,
It would be most appreciated if I could obtain a copy of this application, it would be very handy! Thanks!
Mark
hi !
sorry to be completly out of the subject but anybody knows where we can find the perl script getquota.pl described in this page http://rajeev.name/man-page-for-getquotapl/ ? (link seems to be broken)
thanks !
regards,
nono
@nono
I am trying to get you those. They were left on the servers of my old job and no longer have access to those. Once I get it (if), I’ll upload it to my blog and we won’t have that problem again.
thx
Hi Rajeev -
A bit off topic, but could not reply to the (old) post. I am interested in ‘gequota.pl’ for Netapp – But the link returns a 404 – Where can I obtain it? Thanks!
Steve
Steve
I updated the post. Sorry about the mishap. The getquota source code can be retrieved @ http://rajeev.name/getquota-source/
Enjoy!
Hi Rajeev,
this looks like a great time saver. I’m a PS Consultant at NetApp UK, and would like to give it a test drive. If I could allow me to have a copy that would be great. I’m happy to beta test if you need any testers.
Cheers,
Craig
