The Data Center Practice is pleased to announce that Cisco HyperFlex Edge 5.0 with Intersight v1 is available on dCloud for Cisco and Partner users in US East dCloud location.
Cisco HyperFlex Edge™ brings the robust feature set and simplicity of Cisco HyperFlex systems to your edge environments with a flexible, scalable, low-cost, centrally managed solution that can be deployed and maintained with massive scale. Cisco HyperFlex Edge with the Cisco Intersight™ cloud-based remote monitoring and management solution, provides an all-purpose virtualized server platform, with hypervisor hosts and virtual server storage across a set of Cisco® UCS HX-Series x86 rack-mount servers.
Cisco Intersight provides an installation wizard to install, configure, and deploy Cisco HyperFlex Edge and HyperFlex with FI clusters. The wizard constructs a pre-configured definition of your cluster, called a HyperFlex Cluster Profile. This definition is a logical representation of the HyperFlex nodes in your HyperFlex cluster. HyperFlex Cluster Profiles are built on policies which define the sets of rules and operating characteristics such as the node identity, interfaces, and network connectivity. After gathering the node configuration settings to build an HyperFlex Cluster Profile, the installation wizard validates and deploys the HyperFlex Cluster Profile.
This Cisco HyperFlex Edge with Intersight demonstration uses physical HyperFlex server hardware in All Flash (HXAF220c M5) or Hybrid (HX220c M5) configurations. The difference between these two options is that All Flash server configurations contain up to eight data capacity SSDs (solid state drives), while the Hybrid server configurations contain up to eight data capacity HDDs (hard disk drives). The caching, system and boot drives are all SSDs in both server configurations.
