Cisco HyperFlex™ Systems unlock the full potential of hyperconvergence. The systems are based on an end-to-end software-defined infrastructure, combining software-defined computing in the form of Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) servers; software-defined storage with' the powerful Cisco HX Data Platform and software-defined networking with the Cisco UCS fabric that will integrate smoothly with Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI™). Together with a single point of connectivity and hardware management, these technologies deliver a preintegrated and adaptable cluster that is ready to provide a unified pool of resources to power applications as your business needs dictate.
The Cisco HyperFlex HX240C M6 All NVMe/All Flash/Hybrid Server Nodes extends the capabilities of Cisco's HyperFlex portfolio in a 2U form factor with the addition of 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 256 GB. The maximum memory capacity for 2 CPUs is listed here:
- 8 TB (32 x 256 GB DDR4 DIMMs), or
- 12 TB (16 x 256 GB DDR4 DIMMs and 16 x 512 GB Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory Modules (PMem)).
- Compatible Xeon Platinum processor lets you perform all your computational tasks at a swift pace
- 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 is very resourceful when a large number of file transfers are required, such as when performing backups over a network
- With 2 USB ports, connect/disconnect devices while not having to shut down the system
- NVMe interface provides quick data transfer and greater throughput
