DK, thanks for joining the conversation. If you used Cisco Capital, you can be billed monthly for your HyperFlex cluster (or any Cisco products) and change this from CapEx to OpEx.

With public could, there is no fixed starting point - one of its benefits. For HyperFlex, you will always have some amount of capacity as a starting point. But you can start small with HX220c M4 nodes and grow the cluster as your needs increase.

You're correct, everything is about trade offs.
