Partners—Cisco Hyperconverged Infrastructure
Cisco HyperFlex™ delivers complete hyperconvergence. It combines the software—defined networking and computing power of Cisco UCS™ with the Cisco HyperFlex HX Data Platform™. And it is designed for simplicity. Cisco HyperFlex™ brings increased operational efficiency and adaptability to more workloads in your data center. Cisco HyperFlex Systems™, powered by Intel Xeon™ processors, combine computing, storage, and networking into a simplified, easy—to—use platform. These systems bring the pay—as you—grow economics of the cloud to on—premises virtual infrastructure so you can gain new levels of agility, efficiency, and adaptability. With an integrated network fabric, powerful data optimization, and unified management, Cisco HyperFlex™ Systems bring the full potential of hyperconvergence to your virtual desktop infrastructure deployments. These solutions are fast to deploy, simple to manage, and easy to scale, and they arrive ready to provide you with a unified pool of infrastructure resources to power applications as your business needs dictate. The lack of a simple and efficient IT platform designed for easy consumption by application workloads is adding to the cost of doing business.
End users can expect one second or less response times with the cluster at full 1000 user load. Cisco™ includes performance data on their website for the recently released Intel Broadwell™ processors and faster memory and for Microsoft Windows 10™ and Microsoft Office 2016™ workload. It is clear that Cisco HyperFlex™ delivers industry leading end—user experience for VMware Horizon™ virtual desktop users on the latest desktop operating system and office suite on the customer’s provisioning platform of choice. Cisco HyperFlex Systems™ deliver complete hyper convergence, combining software—defined networking and computing with a next—generation Cisco HX Data Platform™. Engineered on Cisco UCS™, HyperFlex™ brings new levels of operational efficiency and adaptability to your data center, so you can unlock the full potential of hyper converged infrastructure. Get the most value from your data—unify compute, storage, and networking. Cisco HyperFlex HX Data Platform™ is a high—performance, distributed file system that delivers a wide range of enterprise—grade data management and optimization services.
Rapidly Deploy VMware View
Cisco HyperFlex Systems™ addresses this need while also including the desirable features of flexibility and consistent management. Cutting the deployment time of the required compute, storage and network infrastructure for desktop virtualization to two hours or less is an order of magnitude faster than typical two—week deployment times for some converged systems. Optimize your data—continuous data optimization—always—on inline data deduplication and inline compression provide highly efficient resource utilization, reducing the IT footprint. When using VMware Horizon™ as the broker for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) for pooled, non—persistent Microsoft Windows™ virtual desktops and new with VMware Horizon 7™, for hosted Apps and desktops via integration with Microsoft RDS™ (Remote Desktop services) on Microsoft Windows Server™; allows the near immediate use of new capacity as it is brought online and provides seamless desktop image maintenance. VMware Horizon™ pooled floating assigned linked—clone or instant—clone desktop performance on Cisco HyperFlex™ provides industry leading baseline and sustained Login VSI response times, 2 times faster than the leading hyperconverged competitor.
Cisco Hyperflex Systems
The Cisco HyperFlex™ solution focuses on simplicity of deployment and operation. It delivers a hyperconverged platform that has the advantage of allowing you to start small and grow in small increments without the need for expensive storage devices connected to computing resources by either SAN or network—attached storage (NAS) methods. Expand the boundaries of hyperconverged infrastructure with Cisco HyperFlex HX Data Platform™ storage technology. A basic cluster requires three hyperconverged nodes managed by Cisco UCS Manager™. Beyond this, a Cisco HyperFlex™ cluster can increase computing and storage resources for flexible scaling according to workload needs. Flexibility is introduced by creating a cluster with a mix of Cisco UCS B200 M4™ Blade Servers as computing—only nodes connected to a set of Cisco HyperFlex HX240c M4™ Nodes operating as hyperconverged nodes. In this scenario, the hyperconverged node provides storage for the Cisco UCS B200 M4™ computing—only nodes. This feature allows either storage or computing capacity to be added independently to achieve optimal levels of cluster resource.
Architecture
Cisco HyperFlex™ is built on the Cisco UCS™ platform. It is part of a data center architecture that supports traditional, converged, and hyperconverged systems with common policies and infrastructure management. Bridge to next—generation IT; Cisco HyperFlex is built on an API—driven architecture for the interoperability required by DevOps style IT. It integrates into orchestration toolsets and cloud services. Ready for emerging applications: The HX Data Platform™ is designed to support multiple hypervisors, containers, and bare metal to power existing and new cloud—native workloads. Continuous innovation; Cisco HyperFlex™ will continue to expand the boundaries of hyperconverged infrastructure, drawing from innovation in Cisco UCS™ and ACI™.
