`
`that the 2016 Cisco investment could have substituted for a venture
`
`capital C-round.
`
`That C-round would have been needed for continued software
`
`development and for business infrastructure development around the
`
`sales, marketing, partner enablement and back office areas. With Cisco
`
`representing a potentially massive channel for SpringPath, its funding
`
`needs would be correspondingly smaller.
`
`El Reg is thinking a Cisco investment in the $5m to $20m area sounds
`
`reasonable, and this would take total SpringPath funding to $39m to
`
`$54m.
`
`In principle SpringPath is free to strike up deals with other server vendors
`
`for its hyperconverged software. Palumbo said Cisco had a lot of
`
`influence inside SpringPath and was very pleased with the working
`
`relationship.
`
`Patrick Schmidt, Managing Director DCV EMEAR at Cisco, said Cisco
`
`will extend HyperFlex and add capabilities for databases. For example,
`
`SAP support could be added.
`
`Cisco's position is generally that Nutanix and equivalent HCIA (Hyper-
`
`Converged Infrastructure Appliance) vendors represent additional silos,
`
`whereas HyperFlex is integrated with Cisco's other data centre offerings.
`
`Also, Palumbo said, Cisco has worldwide support and service
`
`infrastructure and processes, which he said startups could not match.
`
`He said that Cisco HyperFlex has an emphasis on networking, and its
`
`design is future-proof for things such as containers and micro-services.
`
`He also emphasised that, for Cisco, hyper-converged is an additive
`
`business to its converged systems, such as Vblocks, FlexPods, etc.
`
`Cisco is strongly interested in the hyperconverged market, seeing a $2bn
`
`opportunity in 2016 alone, plus a 65 per cent CAGR from 2015 to 2019.
`
`As far as SimpliVity and similar partners are concerned, we're told, it's
`
`meet-in-the-channel business as usual, and they bring their own
`
`differentiated offerings to the market — no one size fits all, then. ®
