Soundbytes #015: NetApp HCI with Martin Cooper

In this podcast, recorded at NetApp Insight in Berlin, November 2017, Chris talks to Martin Cooper, Senior Director of Field Engineering, Next Generation Data Centre.  The conversation introduces HCI, NetApp’s hyper-converged offering, which recently went GA.  NetApp HCI uses SolidFire storage and scales differently to traditional HCI solutions in that the processor cores aren’t shared by storage and compute.  Instead each is delivered as a separate server, more like CI.

Martin and Chris discuss the reasons for this architectural choice and how it fits a different market space than traditional hyper-converged solutions.
