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…

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?
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.
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.
This rocks…can I get a copy
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! ^_~
That’s cool! :) What’s next?
Can I get a copy, please?
