Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI)

Barmherzige Brüder Österreich, which operates a number of hospitals and assisted living facilities in Europe, recently improved the performance and availability of SAP HANA with two HyperFlex clusters.

Systems simplicity and operational efficiency, are the hallmarks of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solutions like Cisco HyperFlex. Not only does HyperFlex help modernize a data center, it also enables infrastructure expansion without increasing your operational burden.

The Cisco HyperFlex Data Platform (HXDP) is a distributed hyperconverged infrastructure system that has been built from inception to handle individual component failures across the spectrum of hardware elements without interruption in services.  As a result, the system is highly available and capable of extensive failure handling.

Cisco HyperFlex Edge, is designed for edge locations and can be managed centrally. The platform has accelerated server deployments from minutes to days, improved technology redundancy and resiliency, and future growth and innovation.

With speed and agility becoming increasingly paramount in the business world, it’s no wonder why many companies have shifted some or all of their IT resources to the cloud.

Not only does HyperFlex help modernize a data center, it also enables infrastructure expansion without increasing your operational burden.

The partner ecosystem that Cisco HyperFlex is built upon is always evolving and adapting to bring value to our mutual customers.  When partners and Cisco work together, great things happen. 

We’ve heard you LOUD and CLEAR! You asked for more support to lead with HyperFlex in the marketplace. You highlighted 3 key areas: Profitability, Productivity, and Simplicity.

Recently, a colleague and I have been experimenting with Harvester, an open source project to build a cloud native, Kubernetes-based Hyperconverged Infrastructure tool for running data center and edge compute workloads on bare metal servers.
