NetApp FlexPod

A Converged Infrastructure Solution from Two Leading Manufacturers

Two of the industry’s biggest names, Cisco and NetApp, worked together to develop the FlexPod, a converged infrastructure solution. It’s built from some of the best hardware on the market today, combining a Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) and Cisco Nexus switching with NetApp HDD or flash storage.

As a converged infrastructure design, the FlexPod provides an organization with stability, ease, and power. Cisco and NetApp engineers have tested and calibrated these technologies to integrate together quickly and without hiccups. To speed up deployment and troubleshooting, Cisco has also released a thorough design guide. This guide details every piece of technology in the FlexPod, and will make maintaining your data center as easy as possible.

Mindsight can help your company deploy a FlexPod converged infrastructure solution catered specifically to your needs. Our consultants will discuss your business goals and design your deployment to achieve them.

The FlexPod Advantage and Converged Infrastructure

Scalability
Scaling your data center down the road is as easy as installing another FlexPod or ExpressPod.

Best of Breed Equipment
Only the best hardware from Cisco and NetApp go into making the FlexPod.

Ease of Deployment
A converged infrastructure solution is like a blueprint for an effective data center. There’s no time wasted trying to figure out integrations or troubleshooting compatibility issues. It just works. Easy as that.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership
With less hardware, less power, and less cooling, the FlexPod has a lower total cost of ownership compared to legacy data center designs.
