We used some of the professional services which were tied into some of the bundled packages. 

We also obtain our hardware resources through a third-party called WWT. They're a big partner of ours, and everything is great with those guys.

We use a company from Sienna, Italy called Argon. The experience with them has been very good. They've been with us for years now, so they are a solid partner. Every time I call them, they are ready to answer. We had a good experience with them. They also provide post-sales support to us.

We went through NetApp for the deployment. 

We install NetApp HCI for our clients, and there are some changes that I would like to see. The biggest thing is that I think the paradigm could be changed. There's always a lot of focus on getting a date with a customer of when we can do an installation. There's a workbook that comes with it, which is essentially a listing of all the IPs, the addressing information, and the naming schemes for the systems. You have to have those before the net deployment engine, which basically launches the system, will launch successfully.

We have found ourselves getting onsite at the push of either a customer or a sales team, and then those things aren't in place. It makes the deployment very, very difficult and then kind of frustrating for the customer because now it's a scramble to get those pieces put together. If we did those things first and said, okay, make sure all these IPs are filled out and the networks are hot, which means all the ports are turned on, then let's talk about a date, I think it would be a much better customer experience. We found ourselves having to do a part of the installation and go back to finish it later, so it's just not as clean as it should be.

We used NetApp Professional Services for the implementation. They were awesome.

We had like three phases of Hypercare during the PoC: phase one to phase three. It was pretty good, and they worked well to address all the issues.

We used a reseller called Storage Solutions for the deployment. Our experience with them was great.

We have a partnership with a vendor who helps us and we also work closely with NetApp. Our partner helped us. They have a lot of expertise, but it was kind of new to them. It was nice having a partner knowing who else has used this, where's this deployed, who we can talk to, some kind of the market in business use cases that we are able to use them.

We used an integrator for the deployment. We purchased it through SHI, which is our strategic VAR, and they brought in a company called Arrow to do the deployment. Our experience with them was very good.

We used NetApp's professional service to deploy.

NetApp Professional Services has been working with us on the implementation.

We used an integrator but I was not involved in that piece of it.

We had a resource integrator, and our experience with them was good.

We did not use an integrator for the deployment. 

We do the implementation ourselves because we need to understand what our Partners would be seeing.  We are implementation certified.

I am a partner in resellers so we are the guys who do the deployments.

We used a partner called EBT to deploy this solution. It was smooth. They know what they are doing.

We did involve a consultant for the deployment. It was a NetApp consultant that came in. Once we got through the deployment, we realized that we could have done it ourselves just as easily. We just hadn't had experience with it so we figured it was a better way to go for the initial deployment.

We deployed it ourselves.

We had NetApp people walking us through a lot of it. They were part of the NetApp application group.

We had a consultant come to our site to assist us with trying to get hooked up and running when we were moving into the office. They were helpful.
