Cisco HyperFlex Edge Systems are optimized for remote sites, branch offices, and edge environments. As a smaller form factor of Cisco HyperFlex, Cisco HyperFlex Edge keeps the full power of a next generation hyperconverged platform even without connecting to Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects. Cisco HyperFlex Edge Systems support a variable configuration of 2, 3, or 4 HX converged nodes and supports the scale up of CPU, memory, and storage capacity (hot-add additional capacity drives).
The Cisco HyperFlex Edge operates using existing top of rack 1GE or 10/25GE switching with options for both single and dual switch configurations. HyperFlex Edge is typically deployed in environments with a minimal infrastructure footprint, hence the use of UCS compute-only nodes is not supported.
The Cisco HyperFlex HX245 M6 Edge All Flash and Hybrid Server Nodes extends the capabilities of Cisco's HyperFlex portfolio in a 2U form factor with the addition of the AMD CPUs, 16 DIMM slots per CPU for 3200-MHz DDR4 DIMMs with individual 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)
- Compatible EPYC 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
- Up to 10x faster than standard Ethernet connectivity and provides high-performance uplinks
- Featuring 2 USB ports to connect USB-compatible devices
- 12Gb/s SAS interface for high speed and reliability
