NetApp and Cisco: A Partnership of Innovation - Inline Image 1

In 2010, FlexPod® began as an idea for combining the best-in-class products from Cisco and NetApp® to address certain applications and workloads in a converged infrastructure solution.

In 2020, FlexPod celebrates its 10th year, and we’re also celebrating an amazing 10-year journey of productive partnership between Cisco and NetApp — a journey that has evolved to serve over 9,500 cumulative customers and more than $13 billion in worldwide sales. And we don’t stop here…

Together, Cisco and NetApp have reimagined a data center with FlexPod that can keep pace with the evolution of IT and enables enterprises to build a solid foundation for the future.

Cisco and NetApp both demonstrate their commitment and support for FlexPod by running large parts of their own internal IT infrastructures on FlexPod.

Take a look at what makes FlexPod an indispensable part of Cisco’s and NetApp’s IT departments.

 So, happy anniversary, FlexPod!

Kudos to both Cisco and NetApp for strong commitment and support of a modern, best-in-class data solution.
