Fast and Flexible Hyperconverged Systems
You need systems that can adapt to match the speed of your business. Cisco HyperFlex™ Systems deliver complete hyperconvergence, combining software-defined networking and computing with the next-generation Cisco HyperFlex HX Data Platform. Engineered on the Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®), Cisco HyperFlex Systems deliver the operational requirements for agility, scalability, and pay-as-you-grow economics of the cloud, but with the benefits of on-premises infrastructure.
With hybrid or all-flash-memory storage configurations, and a choice of management tools, Cisco HyperFlex Systems deliver a preintegrated cluster with a unified pool of resources that you can quickly deploy, adapt, scale, and manage to efficiently power your applications and your business (Figure 1).
Cisco HyperFlex HX240c M4 and HX240c M4 All Flash Nodes
Physically, the system is delivered as a cluster of three or more Cisco HyperFlex HX240c M4 or HX240c M4 All Flash Nodes that are integrated into a single system by a pair of Cisco UCS 6200 or 6300 Series Fabric Interconnects. Each node includes the following (details in Table 1):
● HDDs for up to 27.6 TB or SSD drives for up to 88.3 TB of capacity-layer storage (self-encrypting drive options are available)
● Write logging SAS SSD or NVMe drive (self-encrypting drive options are available)
● Data platform logging drive
● Two Cisco Flexible Flash (FlexFlash) Secure Digital (SD) cards used as boot drives for VMware vSphere
● One Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card (VIC)
● VMware vSphere ESXi 6.0 software preinstalled (ESXi 6.5 is supported but is not preinstalled)
● Cisco UCS service profile templates for automated cluster configuration
The nodes use Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v4 family CPUs and large internal memory and storage capacities to deliver an outstanding combination of performance, flexibility, and efficiency in a 2-rack-unit (2RU) form factor (Figure 2).
Hybrid Configurations
The HX240c M4 and HX240c M4 All Flash Nodes can be deployed with various Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers and C-Series Rack Servers to create a hybrid cluster. With a single point of connectivity and management, you can easily scale your cluster to support more workloads and deliver the performance, bandwidth, and low latency that your users and applications need.
