### AI overview

NetApp and Cisco are positioning FlexPod as a pretested infrastructure platform for moving enterprise AI workloads from pilots into production. The article describes how validated designs aim to reduce integration work across storage, networking, compute and security while giving customers flexibility and confidence at scale. The companies expanded FlexPod for AI deployments in June and expect further joint work and additional partners.

### Source excerpt

As enterprises push AI out of pilots and into production, FlexPod, the converged infrastructure franchise built by NetApp Inc. and Cisco Systems Inc., is being recast as a pretested answer to AI's complexity. Customers want a trusted platform, not a pile of parts to integrate themselves. That pitch lands as NetApp works to tie its [...] The post Decades of DIY best-of-breed give way to pretested stacks as AI raises integration risk appeared first on SiliconANGLE.
