Welcome to Engineers Unplugged, the crossover edition. That’s right, this week, as we answer the question “I’m an Engineer, Why Would I Do That?” with TechWise TV’s very own Jimmy Ray Purser (@jimmyray_purser). He’s taking up the question of why FlexPod instead of of DIY architecture with NetApp’s Joel McKelvey (@joelmckelvey). This episode is lively and informative as our experts explore the solution from a tech and business point of view.

“We encourage you to build it yourself, we just give you a manual to do it as smart as possible.” — Joel McKelvey on FlexPod.

Never ever challenge engineers to create a “flexible unicorn.” There was an escalation.
