Cisco HyperFlex Cisco HyperFlex is designed to make IT Easy and Fast. Lower TCO while offering a cloud like experience in the Data Center. What is Hyperconverged? A hyperconverged infrastructure is largely software defined with tightly integrated compute, storage, networking and virtualization resources. Hyperconverged is: Compute, Storage and Hypervisor integrated into a server platform. Deployed as a resilient availability cluster and ready to use in minutes. Easy to scale, manage and adapt. Hyperconverged is not: Ideal or cost effective for all workloads. Supported by all applications. Cisco HyperFlex HX240c M4 Node What is Cisco HyperFlex? Cisco HyperFlex is a NEXT Generation Hyperconverged solution built on Cisco UCS, the industry leading unified computing platform. Cisco s Value Single vendor solution and support. Managed through the hypervisor manager. Provides complete hyperconvergence that includes a unified fabric. Built on a distributed, log structured file system that allows for continues data optimization without compromising performance. Maximum flexibility with independent scaling of compute, capacity and cache. Eliminates silos by fitting into existing UCS environments. What to look for? Target general server virtualization, VDI, Test/Dev and ROBO. Look for server and storage refresh cycles, or maintenance renewals. Additional Questions: Are you considering Hyperconvergence? Would you like a cloud-like experience on-premise? Are you interested in lowering your storage costs on server virtualization, VDI, Test/Dev? Add Cisco One Enterprise Cloud Suite Cisco One Enterprise Cloud Suite (ECS) builds on the cloud like experience of HyperFlex. ECS offers one-touch deployment of infrastructure in preparation for deploying application stacks. Utilize the built in puppet engine to layer on applications and services. Ideal for Dev/Test and Fast IT models. Cisco One Enterprise Cloud Suite
