The FlexPod™ solution is composed of Cisco® UCS™ servers and Nexus® switches, and NetApp® FAS storage arrays with clustered Data ONTAP® software. NetApp and Cisco collaborated with VMware to deliver the VMware vSphere on FlexPod solution for virtualized enterprise environments.
Our solution offers standardized configurations and processes for consistent deployments in virtualized environments:
- Highly scalable architecture that scales up and out within each architectural component and expands FlexPod storage capacity
- Flexible IT for any cloud environment that supports mixed application workloads – private, public, or hybrid cloud
- Adaptable, always-on architecture with redundant HA features
- Data center efficiency with utilization across all layers, and resource pools, including an entire storage cluster manageable as a single, dynamic IT asset
VMware vCenter™, Cisco UCS Manager, and NetApp FAS components combine in this solution to create a flexible, scalable platform for enterprise application workloads.
Our Cooperative Support Model lets you work with Cisco, NetApp, or VMware for streamlined problem resolution.
