Cisco and NetApp All-Flash Converged Infrastructure Removes Constraints for the Modern Enterprise Data Center

"We've had really good success with NetApp All Flash FAS and the FlexPod infrastructure. We have a higher confidence in our data. We know it works. And we're going to continue expanding that as fast as possible," said Satish Sambandham, senior manager, Product Development, at Citrix Systems. Customers recognize that flash equals speed. But as all-flash array pricing has come down, there's a growing recognition that flash provides significant management benefits as well, especially when integrated within the simplified operation of a converged infrastructure solution. Today, Cisco and NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the developers of the FlexPod® converged infrastructure (CI) solution, have seen FlexPod partner and customer enthusiasm grow for the performance, agility and economic benefits of the all-flash data center.
