Cisco HyperFlex Delivers Three Times the Performance of First-Generation Industry Solutions - Seite 2

"In less than a year, more than 1,100 customers have embraced HyperFlex to simplify and transform their data center operations," said Liz Centoni, senior vice president and general manager of Cisco's Computing Systems Product Group. "We purpose-built HX Data Platform, our distributed file system for HCI, to deliver the high performance and consistently low latency needed to allow customers to expand from initial use-cases like VDI to a much broader range of business critical apps."

Industry-best HCI Performance
HyperFlex has raised the industry bar by delivering the performance required to extend HCI far beyond VDI and server virtualization to more demanding, data intensive workloads. Lab testing conducted by Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) compared Cisco HyperFlex with three other solutions using an industry standard benchmark for application performance on HCI. Highlights include:

• HyperFlex supports up to three times higher VM density
• Lowest VM read/write latencies
• Seven times reduction in IOPS variability compared to other solutions
  
  

"ESG Lab validated that Cisco HyperFlex hybrid and all-flash systems delivered higher, more consistent performance than other similarly configured HCI solutions using simulated OLTP and SQL workloads," said Tony Palmer, Sr. ESG Lab Analyst and co-author of the ESG Lab HCI Report. "For hybrid clusters, HyperFlex not only consistently outpaced competitors in terms of IOPS and latency, it supported more than twice the number of VMs than both software-based and engineered proprietary systems while maintaining high performance."

Cisco ASAP Data Center
Cisco HyperFlex is a key part of Cisco's ASAP data center strategy to help enable digital transformation. ASAP -- which stands for Analyze, Simplify, Automate, and Protect. This architectural approach enables organizations to modernize their data center and IT infrastructure with a hybrid IT solution that maximizes application performance, mitigates risk, and increases operational agility in support of digital transformation. Cisco's comprehensive data center portfolio underscores its commitment to innovation with award-winning products such as: Cisco Nexus ® 9000 switches, Cisco ACI™, Cisco CloudCenter, Tetration Analytics, Cisco UCS®, and HyperFlex
