3 66 Cisco Hyperflex HXAF240c M5 NodeOVERVIEW3 OVERVIEWC isco 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 Cisco Hyperflex HXAF240c M5 Node is shown in Figure HXAF240c M5 servers extend the capabilities of Cisco s Hyperflex portfolio in a 2RU form factor with the addition of the 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors, 2933-MHz DDR4 memory, and an all flash footprint of cache and capacity drives for highly available.
