Re: PowerFlex Intergration and Future Support.

[Abishek <ab...@gmail.com>]

Hi Suresh,

I am in need of your suggestion. I have read your blog about the
integration of PowerFlex with Cloudstack. What would be a better fit for
the Apache Cloudstack design with PowerFlex. Should we proceed with Storage
Only nodes or complete HCI nodes (Storage + Compute). What would be your
recommendation?


Thank You.
Best Regards
Avi
