NetApp FlexPod-as-a-service

FlexPod is a converged infrastructure collaborative solution from Cisco and NetApp as well as with various OS and hypervisor partners. FlexPod-as-a-service will help businesses accelerate their move to a   virtualized, shared environment infrastructure with standardized and scalable “building blocks.” Because it comes pre-validated, customers will benefit from an effective infrastructure, quick deployment times, and simplified management.

NetApp And Cisco previously introduced FlexPod XCS back in March 2022.

Pure Storage FlashStack-as-a-service

Pure Storage and Cisco developed FlashStack as a converged infrastructure solution that combines Cisco’s Unified Computing System (UCS) servers and Nexus switches with Pure Storage FlashArray and FlashBlade platforms. FlashStack allows customers to optimize their operational model and secure applications on-premises—both at the edge and in the cloud.

Customers have two payment models to choose from:

  • Pay as you use (PAYU), which allows organizations to grow and shrink capacity usage on demand
  • Pay as you grow (PAYG), which gives organizations growth capacity so they can have the performance they need, without constantly over-provisioning

Cisco believes organizations will quickly adapt Cisco+ Hybrid Cloud as a foundation for their innovative, flexible consumption offers and will help solve important IT challenges they might have.
