Question 2

Has anyone thought about how big (Storage, RAM and CPU) a fully loaded single HX Cluster can be…

© 2018 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public

Answer to Question 2Single Cluster:

32 x HXAF240M5 nodes

32 x B480M5 nodes

Storage:

32 x 23 x 3.8TB SSD (HXAF240M5 Performance) = 2.8PB

No storage in B480M5 Compute-only Nodes

RAM:

32 x 24 x 128GB (HXAF240M5)

32 x 48 x 128GB (B480M5 Compute-only Nodes) = 288TB RAM

CPU:

32 x 2 x 28 (HXAF240M5)

32 x 4 x 28 (B480M5 Compute-only Nodes) = 5376 cores
