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
