So at $work I have had the pleasure of becoming the primary administrator of our new Flexpods. For those that do not know; Flexpods are Netapp’s answer to the vBlock from EMC.
Our purchase was the largest in our region. It consists of 26 Cisco UCS blades spread across 5 chassis and 60TB of usable Netapp storage. Oh, and another one just like it for failover sitting in our second datacenter. Each of the blades is running VMware vSphere 4.1.1.
Since my coworker is doing such an excellent job covering the happenings I will just link to his blog, http://www.singlemaltcloud.com. He is using his portion of the Flexpods for our virtual desktop initiative. It really is exciting working with the newest technology.
