The document compares FlexPod, which is a converged infrastructure solution from Cisco and NetApp, to Batman's vehicle, the Batmobile. It notes that both are available, flexible, efficient, and agile. FlexPod provides a complete system that is high performing, uses best of breed components, is adaptable, and secure, just like the Batmobile helps Batman succeed. Behind every superhero is cool technology, and FlexPod provides a utility belt of validated designs, configurations, and joint support, analogous to the support Batman receives from Alfred and others. The document positions the reader as Batman, empowered by FlexPod to solve challenges just as Batman fights crime with the Batmobile.
