FlexPod Validated Design Guides
NetApp FlexPod
Converged infrastructure built for the hybrid cloud
FlexPod customers gain an unmatched level of testing combined with data protection at the edge, on your premises, in the public cloud, and in transit. No other converged solution gives you this combination of verification and keeps your data safe.
The validated designs (CVD's) are important for exploring technology that I haven't touched or seen in-depth. We use the CVD's to get a better understanding of the technology and use it as a roadmap to get customers to that desired end state.
