- The converged infrastructure solutions based on pre-validated and pre-tested reference architecture accelerate the transformation to clouds. Converged infrastructure has been rapidly gaining traction because of its significant benefits such as simplifying and shortening the procurement process, hardware standardization for efficiencies, and significant savings on operating costs. Converged infrastructure have to be paired with advanced management and orchestration to fully realize the potential benefits and operational advantage. Organizations that have chosen FlexPod as their converged infrastructure are very attracted to Cloupia. Cloupia solution's streamlined simplicity and model-based orchestration capabilities are very impressive. We are also excited to see the expanded support for Vblock and VSPEX.
- Scott Miller, Director of Cloud, Virtualization & the ATC, WWT Inc
- One of the most exciting developments in IT is the transformation of the Datacenter. Driven by business requirements and cost pressures, today's Datacenter has to not only be fast and flexible, but also enable the IT specialists to focus on new projects and functions. Virtualization of the infrastructure is the fundamental step we have taken with our customers over the last years. With Cloupia we are able to take the next step by having a common tool to orchestrate all the infrastructure resources to optimize their usage. A key part of the Cloupia solution is the ability to automate the virtual and physical infrastructure for a more efficient IT operation and enable IT to respond fast to changing business needs.

Cloupia is a FlexPod-validated product and that made it easy for us to deploy, provision and immediately benefit from the ITaaS capabilities the product has to offer. The Dashboards and Reporting metrics provide the essential "heads-up display" for us at Walz because they display real-time, hourly, daily, weekly, etc. resource utilization trending of our self-provisioned IT resources. Cloupia is a single-pane-of-glass solution that enabled us to deliver ITaaS by enabling unified management and automation of physical compute, network and storage along with virtual infrastructure of the FlexPod stack.
