Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

and as you scale out you just add six drives in the front for storage and one one sled in the back and add it to your cluster so it's really really really simple from a hardware perspective on networking we've chosen to go with 25 gig and that that's a pretty interesting choice because a lot of people initially give us the feedback of hey we're just not there yet in our data center

What do you guys think of going straight for 25 gig?

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

Yeah, I agree.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

And the little known fact about 25 gig that unless you really look into it, it's an SFP28 connector.

TechONTAPPodcast

So what that means is that an SFP plus, so meaning your, reuse your word, bespoke infrastructure, when you're plugging in your existing 10 gig switch into our systems, it works.

But as soon as you upgrade to 100 gig or 25 gig, because there are 25 gig native switches coming out, there's a couple out already,

It just works.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

So you don't have to.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

We've given you essentially dual port.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

It's 10 or 25.

Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

So we think that'll be really good for the future of our customer's data center.

Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

Like I said, as they're going towards the next generation data center, redesigning, deciding what should I go for?

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

Hey, we skipped 40 gig.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

What's next?

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

What are we going to deploy in our infrastructure now?

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

We think that'll be a very popular choice with the customer base.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

Your Bluetooth idea.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

We killed your Bluetooth idea too, Gabe.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

Sorry.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 89 - NetApp HCI. Enterprise-Scale

Pretty sweet.
