Overview
Cisco HyperFlexsolutions enhance data center efficiency, agility, and resiliency by tightlyintegrating core infrastructure (compute, storage, networking, and system management),increasing automation, and simplifying lifecycle management. Thisauthoritative, comprehensive guide brings together knowledge, detailed configurationoptions, and real-world case studies for successfully deploying Cisco HyperFlextechnologies in environments of all types.
Three expert authorspresent easy-to-understand overviews of key Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI)concepts, show how HyperFlex technologies apply them, and present detailedreference examples with topologies, configurations, and verifications for eachmajor feature. Drawing on extensive experience helping Cisco customers adoptHyperFlex, they present best practices for optimizing design, streamliningdeployment, avoiding pitfalls, and maximizing value.
This guide will be indispensable to everyIT and network professional, manager, or consultant involved in planning,deploying, or operating Cisco HyperFlex or evaluating any HCI solution.Reflecting current trends in HCI deployment, it will be valuable in bothsmall-scale environments and large-scale data centers.
