Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series Implementation Team

Manager, Open Systems Infrastructure at a healthcare company with 5,001-10,000 employees

We worked with Cisco and our reseller for evaluating the product, but when it came to the implementation, my team was able to do it on their own.

KD
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 deployed this product in-house.

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

Devendra-Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Assistant Manager at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

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.

BhaveshParmar - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Head at Intercraft

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.

SR
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.

NM
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.

RK
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.

RR
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.
