Implementation was mostly in-house, but leverage SimpliVity support for remote deployment and configurations.

We use the deployment manager to deploy the HCI node. The same deployment manager handled the deployment through the federation. It took around two hours. Around two people were involved in the process.

The solution is set up on VMware, so it is easy to maintain. 

We used SimpliVity for all pre-sales work: sizing, analysis, and deep dives.
We purchased it through a partner.

We have certified HPE personnel install the solution on our behalf. 

Everything in our organization is outsourced, so we use consultants. They are embedded vendors, so our experience with them is good.

We paid for installation services from Pointnext.

We have the certifications to do the implementation ourselves, but it has to be checked by HPE.

We used Advanticom out of Pittsburgh. Our experience with them was very good. They were very knowledgeable and worked well with SimpliVity's SEs and implementation people.

We used a reseller, IMP Solutions, to purchase the deployment, but we did the actual install and deployment ourselves with SimpliVIty support. IMP Solutions was fantastic.

A vendor team did the complete installation from the racking-and-stacking to the SimpliVity and VMware configuration. The vendor team was very knowledgeable and made what would have been a daunting task a piece of cake.

The vendor team worked with my managed services team. 

We used our reseller for the implementation. We have a local HPE shop here that we buy most of our network and computer equipment from and they came in and did most of the initial configuration. They were extremely knowledgeable and I doubt we would have been able to get everything properly configured and operational without them.

We provide our customers with a demo in our data center and an hour per day.

We used an integrator for the deployment, who was good.

HPE did parts of the implementation with us.

We used a reseller. Our experience with them was kind of interesting. CDW was the main partner but they had sub-contracted parts of it out to Tech Data, a move which added another layer that we didn't expect and was not fully disclosed at the beginning.

I used a consultant from VMWare to implement the product.

HPE deployed it, but we used an integrator (CCP) for design. Our experience with CCP was good.

We used a reseller, CDW. Our experience with them has been great. They've been an awesome reseller for us. We do almost all of our stuff through CDW.

Our company provides the implementation services. The maintenance of hardware and software is done by the vendor.

We are able to handle the implementation process for our clients. 

I do everything for the implementation myself, because I'm a certified SimpliVity consultant.

We have four engineers on our technical team.

We have a SimpliVity sales engineer do the installation. I would rate him to be an expert. The installation was completed within four hours.

Implementation was a partner effort between SimpliVity and our own IT. Their expertise was unparalleled, with every point addressed and handled without issue.

We have approximately five engineers that do the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

We had HPE implement and deploy the product for us. We purchased it from a local HPE partner and they set the whole thing up.

We used an integrator through HPE. Our experience with them was great. Everything worked well. We didn't have any hiccups.

It was implemented in-house.

You need to go with a vendor, or find a niche experts, and there are only a handful of people available in the market.

We used a partner, Datavision, for our deployment. Our experience with them was very good.

We handled the installation entirely on our own.

The solution only requires normal basic housekeeping, such as with data retention time. 

We have a local consultant and a vendor. We work directly with the vendor. If there is any issue, they resolve it, but it can take time because if they aren't able to resolve it on their own, they have to create a ticket with global support. For its maintenance, we have two people.

We used a consultant to help with the implementation.

Good.

We implemented with the help of SimpliVity directly. Their expertise was great. Implementation went very smoothly.

Through a vendor, their expertise was good.

We handled the solution with the help of a partner. 

We used integrators to do the implementation of the solution.

We do not have special servers, only regular ones, the maintenance of the solution is simple.

Our solution was recommended by our trusted vendor and SimpliVity engineers were on site to help implement the solution. Everyone was very knowledgeable.

In House.

We have three nodes around the country and it took just one week for the deployment.

We used D-Plus. They're pretty good.

SimpliVity stays very involved with all installs at this point, minor involvement of vendors from an install perspective.

We used HPE for the implementation of the solution because they were able to provide us with a guarantee. I could not do the process myself. It took approximately two weeks.

We have one engineer that does the maintenance of the solution.

In house. 

The technicians assigned by HPE implemented this solution in a very short time. At most, it took about two or three days. It was really amazing. It was very simple, and they helped us migrate the materials and the digital machine.

I implemented this solution myself.

We had to get HPE to help us with the initial configuration. We couldn't handle it ourselves.

Implementation was through Simplivity's team.

We used a reseller for the deployment, and our experience with them was good. We have had them for a long time.

We made use of the local team. Very skilled!

The solution took a couple of hours to do the implementation with two technicians, and we have one technician for the maintenance. Next time I am going to use a consultant or a supplier to do the implementation.

We implemented using a vendor team. They were good.

A vendor team implemented it. Expertise was excellent. I couldn't have asked for better.

Vendor and they were excellent.

We worked with a provider, and he installed it.

We deployed it in-house with our own knowledge.

We used HPE for the deployment. Our experience with them was great.

We're a solutions integrator and therefore we are able to implement the solution ourselves. We don't need the assistance of consultants. 

We did not deploy this solution ourselves, we used a system provider.

We used a reseller and our experience with them was great.

A technical engineer from Simplivity implemented it.

An in-house team implemented it.

The VAR was still learning the product. I would rate their level of expertise as low.

A vendor team with good knowledge implemented it.
