We're using AppSync on XtremIO.
When it works, it does the job, when it breaks, it's all your worst
Halloween's rolled into one.
It's pretty bizarre using a product that runs moderately unreliably using a
Postgres database on Windows to control snapshots of production on Linux
based storage for Linux databases. I had to write a bunch of scripts to
correct for AppSync's lack of understanding of how to build a clone of an
Oracle database... Not exactly a recommendation then, though I believe in
license terms the cost is a tiny fraction of the Oracle equivalent in 12c.
We have of the order of 80 clones of a significant production database
using surprisingly little real storage, and performance is OK.

I use EMC ScaleIO ( a Software Defined Storage product ) for cloud
deployments and use snapshots of physical DataGuard standbys to serve as
backups ( in conjunction with archived logs ) of the primary instances. I
alternatively use Netapp in a private data center for the same purpose.

it worked fine.
