Solution Brief
July 2016
Server virtualization is an important strategy for optimizing the data center. Yet
many IT managers recognize that traditional approaches to IT infrastructure and
virtual server implementation have left the data center burdened by a sprawling
and complex set of virtual machines and storage systems that are difficult to scale,
optimize, and manage on a daily basis. Cisco HyperFlex Systems offer the rapid
deployment, flexible scaling, and unified management you need to simplify your
virtual server deployments based on VMware solutions and improve IT agility.

Hyperconvergence Makes It Possible
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 public clouds to on-premises IT
infrastructure so you can gain new levels of agility, efficiency, and adaptability. With
an integrated network fabric, powerful data optimization, unified server, VMware
vSphere hypervisor, and storage management, Cisco HyperFlex Systems bring
the full potential of hyperconvergence to your virtual server deployments. These
solutions are fast to deploy, simple to manage, and easy to scale. They arrive ready
to provide you with a pool of infrastructure resources to power your virtual machines
and applications as your business needs dictate.

Easy and Rapid Deployment
If you need to improve the agility of your IT organization, simplifying the deployment
and operation of your virtual server infrastructure can help. Cisco HyperFlex Systems
are delivered as a preintegrated cluster that is up and running in an hour or less.
Integrated management detects any component plugged into the system, making
the system self-aware and self-integrating, helping it adapt quickly to changes in
