Unlike typical high-density rack servers that require extended-depth racks, the Cisco UCS C3160 fits comfortably in
a standard-depth rack, such as the Cisco UCS R42610.
Cisco Nexus 9300
Application workloads that are deployed across a mix of virtualized and nonvirtualized server and storage
infrastructure require a network infrastructure that provides consistent connectivity, security, and visibility across a
range of bare-metal, virtualized, and cloud computing environments. The Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches
provide a flexible, agile, low-cost, application-centric infrastructure (ACI) and include both modular and fixed-port
switches that are designed to overcome the challenges of workloads that span a mix of virtualized and
nonvirtualized server and storage infrastructure.
Cisco Nexus 9300 fixed-port switches are designed for top-of-rack (ToR) and middle-of-row (MoR) deployment in
data centers that support enterprise applications, service provider hosting, and cloud computing environments. The
switches are Layer 2 and Layer 3 nonblocking 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet
(FCoE)
–capable switches with up to 2.56 Tbps of internal bandwidth.
These high-density, nonblocking, low-power-consuming switches can be used in ToR, MoR, and end-of-row (EoR)
deployments in enterprise data centers, service provider facilities, and large virtualized and cloud computing
environments.
Cisco Nexus 9300 offers industry-leading density and performance with flexible port configurations that can support
existing copper and fiber cabling. With 1/10GBASE-T support, the switches can deliver 10 Gigabit Ethernet over
existing copper cabling, which enables a low-cost upgrade from Cisco Catalyst
®
6500 Series Switches when the
switches are used in an MoR or EoR configuration.
Red Hat Gluster Storage
Red Hat Gluster Storage is open, software-defined scale-out storage that easily manages unstructured data for
physical, virtual, and cloud environments. Combining both file and object storage with a scale-out architecture (see
Figure 1), it is designed to cost-effectively store and manage petabyte-scale data growth. It also delivers a
continuous storage fabric across physical, virtual, and cloud resources so organizations can transform their big,
semi-structured, and unstructured data from a burden to an asset.
