The simplicity of the FlexPod and how well it all works together with all the different systems really is a time saver.
One of the valuable features is that there is generally one throat to choke, if you will. If you have any problems you can talk to anybody and they'll understand the technical environment you are in, so it makes it easy to troubleshoot. Whether it's an implementation or a new feature you want to take advantage of, you're troubleshooting an actual problem.

It has allowed us to expand our DR and backup strategies.
It has improved the way our organization functions tenfold. We can deploy servers, storage, and everything else quickly. When we need to expand, we can do that quickly as well. It's just easier all around.

The stability of the solution is a key component for me; it has never gone down.
We have had two FlexPods for five years now. We're currently purchasing a third one. We have never had any problems with them in that time.

The hardware is so reliable and just easy to use.
The valuable features are just the simplicity of expanding the hardware when you need to and containerizing everything into a single platform.

It has helped my organization in terms of ease of deployment.
Pretty much a single phone number to call when there is a problem. Ease of use. Manageability for the storage system. It is valuable, because it is easy. Easy to use, so we don't spend a whole lot of time learning new products out there. That is a major plus.

It is a well-built and well-designed system.
It stays up and running and the network team doesn't get involved. I give it the highest rating.

The FlexPod, with the UC chassis and the NetApp storage is perfect for us, we had no trouble.
Valuable Features - Resiliency: It's extremely fault tolerant so it's highly available. If one component fails, it's got a backup that will take over. Performance: FlexPod rocks. It's pretty powerful. And it helps when you have a FlexPod, all the workload's inside. There's no external things that can hurt it, except for itself.

We are able to produce more with fewer resources.
I like how I can still automate, the API that you can do with FlexPod - you can work with it through API - which is what we have to have for our environment.

It saves us a lot of money, time, and resources.
It's an integrated system with a single throat to choke for support. It's one phone call and if we believe it to be a Cisco problem, we call Cisco tech. If it turns out that it becomes a NetApp problem, then Cisco tech will engage the NetApp folks for support. It's a single phone call. We don't have to hang up and call the other and get into a finger pointing game. It is a time saver.

From a management perspective, it is valuable in how we are managing the infrastructure.
That everything is on one box. I can do all my firmware upgrades easily, not like it was before, box by box by box, and it all ties into NetApp.

FlexPod is absolutely uniquely valuable for oil and gas. The benefit is the speed, it's the performance.
We have remote users that will attach to the FlexPod and do their work from say, Houston, logging into Calgary or other places from outside of Calgary. It centralizes everything into our datacenter and it helps us manage it more easily.
