Cooperative Support for FlexPod
Cloud delivered compliance solutions
To the Walz Group, the partnership among Cisco
, NetApp
, and VMware

with a mutual commitment to support has meant time-saving technology
integration; simpler update processes; and more open-minded, collaborative
service

Offering converged infrastructure solutions to corporate and public
sector market
"These expectations have been met in our experience and that of our customers
who provided feedback on the alliance support model. Coordination with
multivendor issues, response times to problems, and communication related to
ticket status and problem resolution have met expectations."

Cloud service provider offering mission-critical infrastructure and
DR as a service
