Solution Brief
May 2016
Implementing VDI environments is turning out to be more complicated than many
companies expected. The high initial costs, ineffective scaling, and unpredictable
performance of network storage often inhibit the adoption of VDI technology and
keep you from benefiting from desktop efficiency. Cisco HyperFlex Systems adapt
to your evolving environment. With simplicity, rapid deployment, and flexible scaling,
you can start small and grow your VDI deployments with ease.

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 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.

Agility and Simplified Operations
For your business to be agile, your VDI solutions must be easy to deploy and
manage. The elements in 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-

Highlights
Agile
• Use simple-to-deploy and easy-to-
manage Cisco HyperFlex™ Systems
for your virtual desktop infrastructure
(VDI) deployments.
• Simplify deployment of your
VDI environments with a single
hyperconverged solution that is up
and running in less than an hour.
• Achieve consistent performance
that reduces your daily management
challenges.
Efficient
• Deploy a flexible cluster configuration
that scales out linearly as you expand
your VDI environment.
• Reduce your upfront investment.
• Deliver persistent or nonpersistent
• Deliver persistent or nonpersistent
virtual desktops, full desktops, and
application streaming.
Adaptable
• Increase virtual desktop density and
reduce costs with a solution that lets
you independently scale computing or
storage capacity.
• Optimize your use of storage
resources with a system that
uses always-on deduplication and
compression.
• Reduce capital expenditures by
eliminating the need for expensive
SAN solutions.
