Subrat,

Thanks for reading the blog and asking the question.

Cisco is about choice for your storage needs. UCS Mini supports a number of our Converged Infrastructure partners like Niimble (SmartStack), NetApp (FlexPod), EMC (VSPEX), and IBM (VersStack).

For some customers, those are not the right solution. Adding StorMagic pre-installed gives customers in the ROBO space a robust storage solution without needing an external storage array. It could be due to total storage needs being less than even a small array or lack of a local storage admin.

Hope this helps clear things up.

Cheers.

Bill
