HyperFlex is an integrated hyper-converged infrastructure solution based on Springpath HALO software, Cisco UCS servers, and Nexus network components. Earlier in the HyperFlex lineup, only hybrid and disk devices were represented . But last week, Cisco announced two all-flash systems.

This is a HyperFlex 220c and 240c M4 with support for 40-gigabit connectivity. Three (and more) of such systems can be integrated into one complex with a pair of UCS 6200 or 6300 series switches.

The new devices have onboard Xeon E-2600 v4 processors with 16 cores, DDR4 RAM up to 1.5 terabytes and 12 Gigabit SAS technology. They also have the Cisco Virtual Interface Card 1227 and vSphere ESXi 6.0 pre-installed software.
The system configuration also includes a 400 GB SSD to support logging and two FlexFlash SD cards used as a boot device.
The table below shows the difference between the hybrid and flash solutions of the HX220c and HX240c:
All-flash systems are designed to support virtualized, containerized and bare-metal environments, and, as stated in the specification, can work in conjunction with Cisco UCS B-Series blade servers and C-Series servers, forming a hybrid cluster. According to company representative Gil Haberman (Gil Haberman), the new HyperFlex systems are able to give customers a sixfold increase in IOPS and an 80% reduction in latency.
HX220c and HX240c specifications can be found at the links here and here .
