In an effort to support our most engaged customers in the Cisco Insider programs and the Cisco Community, we recently ran two exclusive Ask-me-Anything sessions on Cisco HCI, the content of which we’re delighted to share with the Community today.
Who is this for? Customers impacted by the Hyperflex end-of-life announcement and looking to migrate their HCI solution.
Cisco SMEs featured:
- Jonathan Gorlin, Director of Product Management for HCI
- Ganesh Kumar, HCI Technical Product Manager
- Bill Roth, Technical Marketing Engineer
Summary:
In 2023, Cisco decided to end-of-life its HyperFlex hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solution and form a strategic partnership with Nutanix to enhance its HCI offerings. This shift leverages Nutanix's expertise in cloud computing and software-defined infrastructure, allowing Cisco to deliver superior performance, scalability, and simplified management to its customers. The new solution integrates Cisco's advanced networking and security capabilities with Nutanix’s innovative HCI technology, providing a more robust, flexible, and secure infrastructure that meets the evolving needs of modern data centers and hybrid cloud environments. This partnership ensures improved support, greater efficiency, and enhanced value for Cisco’s customers.
