Cisco TOPO 4 10/25GB Single Or Dual Switch | HX-E-TOPO4

10/25 GbE Single or Dual Switch (2, 3, or 4 node)
Selecting HX-E-TOPO4 will include the Cisco UCS 1467 quad port 10/25G SFP28 mLOM
card (HX-M-V25-04) for 10/25GE topologies. Two ports on the 10GE are used for
HyperFlex functions. The remaining two ports may be used by applications after the
HyperFlex deployment is completed.

Cisco strongly recommends HX-E-TOPO4 for all new deployments for the following reasons:

• Higher storage performance
• Expansion ready - Ability to support node expansion in a future HyperFlex Data Platform software release.
• Investment protection provides up to 100GE of theoretical throughput per server.
• Leaves PCIe slots free for accessories

For 1-CPU systems:
Up to three additional PCIe cards may be added with HX-E-TOPO4 or HX-E-TOPO3 selections.

For 2-CPU systems:
Up to eight additional PCIe cards may be added with HX-E-TOPO4 or HX-E-TOPO3 selections.

HyperFlex Edge utilizes the existing top of rack (ToR) switches available in the customer
environment.

Many topologies are supported to ensure the right fit for many environments. HyperFlex Edge supports single and dual switch topologies, depending on the level of high availability required. A topology selection is required. Intel NIC adapters are used by guest
VMs/applications only. When selecting a topology, these adapters may not be substituted for those automatically included.
