Insights and innovations in data center networking and compute technologies that power modern infrastructure.
In this 'Focus on HyperFlex' blog, we'll zero-in on different aspects of the Cisco HyperFlex ('HX') hyperconverged system and ways to make HX work best for you and your organization. This edition will illustrate on how to size a cluster when you might not have all the details of the workload worked out. In this situation, HyperFlex Profiler is the right approach to learn more about the workloads.
Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) outperforms other networking vendor automation tools. It provides an easy-to-use and reliable way for customers to adopt an automation framework with minimal input.
Kaleida Health, the largest health system in Western New York, successfully implemented a sweeping data center modernization effort by utilizing the powerful combination of Cisco HyperFlex, Cisco ACI, and Cisco Intersight.
Cisco recently announced software availability of NX-OS 9.2(2) with support for SAN Analytics on the Cisco MDS 9700 switch with 64G Modules that provide the next phase of architecture innovation for SAN Analytics.
Just throwing more resources at difficult and complex challenges in high performance computing design willy-nilly can often be an inefficient solution. If the resources are not used smartly and efficiently, it can lead to a lot of waste and excess. A relevant example is internal storage in computing systems. In my first blog in this three part series, I discussed the rapid growth of key performance metrics across CPU/GPU cores, memory, network throughput, storage capacity, and peripheral interconnects. These numbers certainly attest to the sheer scale that the compute industry is willing to throw at the problem of how to support the explosion of workloads and applications that we are experiencing with the mainstream adoption of cloud, mobile, and social technologies. In this second blog in the series I talk about how memory upgrades in high performance computing design today are changing the rules of the future of hardware game.
For those of you who have been following our development effort with Cisco ACI, as well as those haven’t been watching that closely, the F5 Agility 2022 event next week brings together and showcases the latest ideas and innovations around adaptive applications.
With the growth in hybrid cloud networks, Cisco is providing IT with operational tools to configure and manage multisite deployments. Cisco Nexus Dashboard's expanded capabilities help boost SAN performance, transition to new cloud environments, and take advantage of high performance 400G switching platforms - all with a single view for deeper network visibility.
The AlgoSec solution with NDO brings the power of intelligent automation and software-defined security features for ACI. We explore multiple use cases, enabling application-centric operation and micro-segmentation, and delivering integrated security operations workflows.
The joint adoption of Cisco UCS compute systems and Cisco MDS 9000 Series of storage networking switches provides a significant benefit to the enterprise: advanced design options, easier management and better support.
