Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

We don't use that.

Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

What type of disk?

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

We've separated the media and the performance.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

You just have a pool of performance and a pool of capacity.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

So it's really how you would want it to be if you're an administrator.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

You simply decide, I need CPU, RAM, and storage of X with performance of Y and go.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

So hopefully that answered your question.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

So as we're starting to close, like one thing that we haven't touched on is scaling.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

So as you scale, a lot of the customers that we've talked to, especially I just talked to a huge financial services firm that they have to buy still and they buy, you know, these are three, $4 million a piece.

So they're spending a lot of money, but they're buying compute when all they need is storage.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

So they don't, they thinly provision, no compute, right?

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

That everyone gets,

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

gets full access, dedicated compute, but they're always running out of hardware for storage.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

And obviously you'd think if we were approaching this market, we'd definitely design this for independently scalable resources.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

So at a node at a time, you can buy one node of any type of storage, one node of any type of compute.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

And that speaks to the financial side of this, that you don't have to waste the money.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

And there is no tax or overhead because what you've seen the competitors do is they're like, oh yeah, well,

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

If you're running a VMware environment, you need to deploy one of our, it's their own proprietary, it's a virtualized storage, and it works.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

They're trying to adjust, but that's never going to be as strong as our architecture is for getting you the best bang for your buck and not having to use compute resources to run storage and having that overhead.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

Yeah, you can.
