integrating, helping it adapt quickly to 
changes in hardware configuration. 
You can move a node from the loading 
dock and add it to your cluster simply 
by plugging in network and power 
cables—no manual node configuration 
is required. Cisco Unified Computing 
System™ (Cisco UCS®) service 
profiles prepare every aspect of a 
node’s identity, configuration, and 
connectivity, increasing efficiency and 
security and reducing deployment time. 
You no longer need to configure and 
manage logical unit numbers (LUNs) 
and volumes, and the system delivers 
consistent performance that reduces 
daily management challenges.
The systems integrate easily into your 
environments and operation processes. 
Cisco UCS management handles all 
of a cluster’s hardware management 
functions and is accessible through a 
VMware vSphere plug-in, providing a 
single point of control for the physical 
infrastructure, the data platform, and 
the virtualization layer.
Efficiency and Flexible Scaling
Cisco HyperFlex Systems provide 
a cluster configuration that scales 
resources independently to closely 
match the resource needs of your VDI 
environments (Figure 1). You can start 
small and support tens or hundreds of 
users and easily and cost-effectively 
scale to support thousands. After a 
system is deployed, you simply add 
nodes to the cluster, and data is 
automatically rebalanced across all 
shared resources. You can easily tailor 
the configuration to support persistent 
and nonpersistent desktops and deliver 
full desktop infrastructure or application 
streaming depending on the needs of 
your workforce.
Adaptable, Optimized Infrastructure
With Cisco HyperFlex Systems, you 
can reduce your data footprint and 
optimize your infrastructure cost. Unlike 
VDI solutions that use traditional SAN 
or network-attached storage (NAS) 
infrastructure, Cisco HyperFlex Systems 
take a different approach, combining 
solid-state disk (SSD) drives and 
spinning disks (hard-disk drives [HDDs])
into a single distributed, multitier, 
object-based data store. An innovative 
caching tier stores frequently and 
recently used information to accelerate 
performance. In addition, native inline 
deduplication and compression are 
always on to help ensure that your 
storage resources are used optimally 
without adversely affecting virtual 
desktop and application performance. 
Get Started with Cisco 
Solution Bundles
Cisco HyperFlex Systems are available 
as packaged bundles. With these 
solutions, you can easily purchase and 
deploy the VDI solutions you need to 
deliver anytime, anywhere access to 
desktops and applications and make 
the most of your IT resources.
