HXAF-E-220M5SX - Cisco CISCO HYPERFLEX ALL FLASH EDGE 220 M5 SYSTEM

Cisco HyperFlex™ Systems provides an all-purpose virtuali zed server platform, with hypervisor hosts, networking connectivity, and virtual server storage across a set of Cisco UCS HX-Series x86 rack-mount servers. It combines the converge nce of computing and networking pr ovided by Cisco UCS, along with next-generation hyperconverged storage software, to uniquely provide the comp ute resources, network connectivity, storage, and hypervisor platform to run an entire virtual en vironment, all contained in a single uniform system. Cisco HyperFlex Edge Systems are optimized for remote sites, branch offices, and edge environments. As a smaller form factor of Cisco HyperF lex, Cisco HyperFlex Edge keeps th e full power of a next generation hyperconverged platform even without connecting to Ci sco 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). HyperFlex Edge operates using existing top of rack 1GE or 10/25GE switching with options for both single and dual switch configurations. Edge clusters are co nfigured with replication factor 2 (RF2) to ensure availability during various failure scenarios. HyperFle x Edge is typically deployed in environments with a minimal infrastructure footprint, hence the us e of UCS compute-only nodes is not supported.
