Data Sheet Cisco HyperFlex HX240c M4 Node A New Generation of Hyperconverged Systems To keep pace with the market, you need systems that support rapid, agile development processes. Cisco HyperFlex™ Systems let you unlock the full potential of hyperconvergence and adapt IT to the needs of your workloads. The systems use an end-to-end software-defined infrastructure approach, combining software-defined computing in the form of Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series Nodes, software-defined storage with the powerful Cisco HyperFlex 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 management, these technologies deliver a preintegrated and adaptable cluster with a unified pool of resources that you can quickly deploy, adapt, scale, and manage to efficiently power your applications and your business (Figure 1). Figure 1. Cisco HyperFlex Systems Cisco HyperFlex HX240c M4 Node Physically, the system is delivered as a cluster of three or more Cisco HyperFlex HX240c M4 Nodes that are integrated into a single system by a pair of Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnects. Each node includes two Cisco Flexible Flash (FlexFlash) Secure Digital (SD) cards, a single 120-GB solid-state disk (SSD) drive, a single 1.6-terabyte (TB) SSD caching drive, and up to twenty-three 1.2-TB SAS drives for a contribution of up to 27.6 TB of storage capacity to the cluster. The nodes use Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v3 and v4 family CPUs and large internal memory and storage capacities to deliver an outstanding combination of performance, flexibility, and efficiency in a 2-rack-unit (2RU) form factor (Figure 2). © 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates.
