HyperFlex 4.0 and Data Acceleration
HyperFlex Acceleration Engine
• Purpose Built & Co-Engineered Software & Hardware
• Recommended for Better TCO but not Mandatory.
• Competitive Differentiation
• Performance Boost*
• CPU Utilization & Working Capacity Improvements
across Workloads
• Other service-offloads in-future : EC, Crypto, Hash etc.
• PCIe card serving platform services & offloading CPU
cycles
• Higher Compression, Lower $/GB
• Better VM Density, Lower $/VM
Introducing All NVMe HyperFlex
• All NVMe UCS C220 M5 Servers
• Integrated Fabric Networking
• Ongoing I/O optimizations
• NVMe Optane Cache, NVMe Capacity
• (up to 32TB/Node), 40GB Networking
• Fully UCSM Managed for FW, LED etc.
• Co-Engineered with Intel VMD for Hot-Plug &
surprise removal cases.
• Reliability Availability Serviceability (RAS)
Assurance
• Up-to 50% IOPs Increase
• Further 4x with future SW optimizations
• Higher VM Density, Lower Latency
