Cisco Compute Hyperconverged with Nutanix is a hyperconverged infrastructure solution integrating Cisco's best-in-class compute (Cisco Unified Computing System), datacenter networking, and SaaS infrastructure management platform (Cisco Intersight) with Nutanix's market-leading hyperconverged storage software, Nutanix Cloud Platform
The Cisco Compute Hyperconverged with Nutanix family of appliances delivers pre-configured UCS servers that are ready to be deployed as nodes to form Nutanix clusters in a variety of configurations. Each server appliance contains three software layers: UCS server firmware, hypervisor (Nutanix AHV or VMware ESXi), and hyperconverged storage software (Nutanix AOS)
Physically, nodes are deployed into clusters, with a cluster consisting of three or more Cisco Compute Hyperconverged HCIAF220C M6 All-NVMe or All-Flash Server. These are integrated into a single system by a pair of Cisco UCS® fabric interconnects, creating clusters that support general-purpose deployments and mission-critical high-performance environments.
The HCIAF220C M6 All-NVMe/All-Flash Server extends the capabilities of Cisco's Compute Hyperconverged portfolio in a 1U form factor with the 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors (Ice Lake), 16 DIMM slots per CPU for 3200-MHz DDR4 DIMMs with DIMM capacity points up to 128GB.
- Perform computational tasks effectively accrediting the Xeon Platinum processor
- DDR4 SDRAM compatible slot - Allows the memory to operate at an effective bus speed while using minimal power, resulting in an optimal computer performance and improved memory heat dissipation
- Gigabit Ethernet enables higher aggregate data transfer capacity which results in a better overall performance
- Featuring 2 USB ports to connect USB-compatible devices
- NVMe interface provides quick data transfer and greater throughput
