system deployment, management, and support beyond your central data center.
system deployment, management, and support beyond your central data center.
Cisco HyperFlex Systems combine software-defined computing in the form of Cisco
Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) servers, software-defined storage with
the powerful new Cisco HyperFlex HX Data Platform™ Software, and software-
defined networking with Cisco UCS fabric that integrates smoothly with Cisco®
Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI™). Together, these elements comprise
a composable infrastructure that is the foundation of our solution. The result is
a preintegrated cluster that is up and running in an hour or less and that scales
resources independently to closely match your application resource needs.

Built on Cisco UCS Technology
Cisco UCS provides a single point of connectivity and hardware management
that integrates Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series nodes and Cisco UCS B-Series Blade
Servers into a single unified cluster. By choosing the balance of CPU and storage
capacity that is right for your applications, you can optimize your Cisco HyperFlex
System with more choices than any other vendor offers. Incremental scalability
allows you to start small and scale as your needs grow, and adjust the ratio of
computing to storage resources as your application needs change. Cisco HyperFlex
Systems deliver all the cost savings and performance advantages of Cisco UCS
while enabling you to reap the benefits of the broad Cisco UCS management
partner ecosystem.

Powered by Next-Generation Data Technology
The Cisco HyperFlex HX Data Platform combines the cluster’s solid-state drives and
spinning disks into a single distributed, multitier, object-based data store. It includes
enterprise-class data management features that you expect from enterprise storage
systems to support your entire application lifecycle: for example, snapshots, thin
provisioning, and instant and space-efficient cloning. Our networking secures your
data through its lifecycle, with security and compliance controls for protection
when you distribute, migrate, and replicate data across storage environments. The
platform delivers high availability through parallel data distribution and replication,
accelerated by the low latency and high bandwidth of the Cisco unified fabric. Data
is continuously optimized with real-time, always-on deduplication and compression,
helping reduce your storage costs without affecting. Dynamic data placement in
server memory, caching, and capacity tiers increase application performance and
redundancy. Because of the data platform’s extensible architecture, Cisco HyperFlex
Systems has future support for a wide range of hypervisors and bare-metal and
containerized environments.
