Physically, the system is delivered as a cluster of three or more Cisco HyperFlex HX240c M5 Nodes, HX240c M5 All Flash Nodes, or HX240c M5 LFF Nodes. The Cisco HyperFlex HX240c M5 Node family delivers high disk capacity (up to 23 drives) in a 2-socket, 2RU package ideal for storage-intensive applications. In addition, they are ready for Intel 3D XPoint nonvolatile memory, which can be used as both storage and system memory, increasing your virtual server configuration options and flexibility for applications. Based on Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, these servers have faster processors, more cores, and faster and larger-capacity memory than previous-generation servers. With hybrid small-form-factor (SFF) and large-form-factor (LFF), or all-flash-memory storage configurations and cloud-based management, Cisco HyperFlex HX240c M5 Nodes are deployed as a preintegrated cluster with a unified pool of resources that you can quickly provision, adapt, scale, and manage to efficiently power your applications and your business (Figure 1). Engineered with Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) technology, and managed through the Cisco Intersight™ cloud operations platform, Cisco HyperFlex systems can power applications and data no matter where they reside, optimize operations from your core data center to the edge and into public clouds, and increase agility by accelerating DevOps practices. Cisco HyperFlex™ systems with Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors deliver hyperconvergence with power and simplicity for any application, anywhere.

Today’s applications are diverse and distributed, living across a complex, multidomain world-from enterprise data centers and private and public clouds, to campus, branch, and edge locations.
