Assistant VP, Information Technology at SBICAP Securities Ltd.
The deployment was straightforward and took around a month due to the 58 nodes. Once the drive was implemented, the deployment was completed. While they are not direct users of the solution, the infrastructure supports over 1000 users in our IT department. However, maintenance requires a team because hardware issues might need to be addressed. There are four to five people responsible for maintenance.

We have a centralized team for technical support and the deployment of products, such as this one. The team is not dedicated to HyperFlex.

March 2024
Learn what your peers think about Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: March 2024.
765,234 professionals have used our research since 2012.
We documented what we were going to require for the setup and we had a partner do it for us. Internally we do not have the implementation skills required to complete the process for Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series. However, we do have the skill set for managing all the applications.
The maintenance of Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series is minimal.

I have had a really good and long experience with Atea as a partner.
This was my first acquaintance, in person, with Tech Mahindra and that was pretty interesting. You have to be somewhat aware of the caste system. It eases your dialogue.

Doug Rains

We self-deployed the solution without the need for external assistance.
View full review »We had a partner do the implementation of the solution. I was not happy with the partner because they have not resolved the error message we have been receiving from Cisco after months of conversations.
The partner support could improve.
All of our maintenance is handled by our partner.

Shahriar Rahman
Deputy Manager at PacECloud
Initially, we had a system integrator. They are from India and they initially helped us and guided us through it. They were here onsite and they worked with us and shared knowledge about how to do stuff and how to get the services. Initially it was definitely a challenge, but after getting the services and workload and testing so we knew what we needed, we moved into application. From that point we were able to do it on our own.

DivMgr4312
Divisional Manager - Engineering at a engineering company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The initial setup was done by our implementation partner, S.K. International. Initially they struggled a bit and then, finally, they did a good job.
They are maintaining it right now. We may take over after a year. We will have a person to do all the maintenance. We already have a team maintaining the other servers, so maybe we will have them do this too.

ITInfrase578
IT Infrastructure Manager at Azersun Holding Group
We always deploy all the solutions for our team. Because our market is not as large as in big countries, our partners sometimes do not seek out teams who can deploy difficult solutions. Since our company is one of the biggest in our country, deployments depends on very hard integrations between system. This is too hard for an external company because they would need to take a long time to understand what we need and how we need to deploy it. The easiest way is to have our own team.

Senior Network Administrator at a university with 1,001-5,000 employees
We used a consultant for the deployment that Cisco suggested. Because the solution is rather new to us the scenario was pleasant. They knew what they were doing but I felt like the knowledge transfer could have been a lot better.
