Key building blocks for HCI

Software-defined storage x86 servers

• Abstracts storage functions from hardware • High-performance processors, large
• Virtualizes direct-attach storage into memory
shared pool • Flash media delivers consistent,
• Automates provisioning, load balancing predictable performance
Server
Virtualization SAN High-speed Ethernet
• Abstracts compute and network functions • Connects nodes together to create
• Enables physical resources to be shared cluster
• Greatly improves utilization, mobility and • Enables HCI to deliver high IOPS and
security reduced latencies
