New features to accommodate accelerated cloud environments
 
The new solution offers you:
• Predictable, high-quality performance. Run hundreds of applications stably on a single platform with guaranteed service-level agreements to independently set capacity and quality of service at minimum, maximum, or burst performance levels across the entire infrastructure. FlexPod SF is based on Cisco UCS. It also features the dedicated performance of NetApp SolidFire storage, which eliminates 93% of storage performance issues and allows you to get rid of "noisy neighbors" with SolidFire QoS.  
 
• Programmable agility. Seamlessly meet business demands with SolidFire's scalability, simplified management, and software-defined architecture by automating all aspects of provisioning, management, and reporting with fully programmable NetApp SolidFire storage and Cisco UCS B-Series servers. Cisco UCS technology delivers up to 56% faster time to market and enables up to 59% more enterprise applications to be delivered to end users. Virtual machine (VM) deployment is also up to five times faster with NetApp SolidFire storage, which also offers granular scale-as-you-grow capabilities with independent storage nodes.
 
• Horizontal scalability. It allows customers to align business expenses with business growth by reducing initial capital investments. This highly flexible solution delivers controlled performance with lower operating costs by enabling customers to acquire the technology and storage they need, when they need it.
