I would be interested in peoples experiences as well with Netapp, snap
manager and cloning. For NetApp if you have large databases it can be an
issue. The 32bit NetApp filers are limited to 16TB :

As far as database clone technologies, Delphix is by far the best. Delphix
is basically unlimited in databsae size it supports and unlimited in
snapshots and clones. Here is an article I wrote for the New Your Oracle
Users Group

of course I'm biased since I work for Delphix. On the other I'm aware of
the issues of building such a product. Oracle asked me to work on database
cloning in 2005 the OEM group but this was before Oracle's dNFS and before
ZFS had stabilized. When I saw what Delphix was doing with ZFS, cloning and
awesome UI in 2010 I couldn't wait to join.
