Topologies / Networking

The Cisco HyperFlex Edge Network Topologies define the architecture for connecting the nodes within the HyperFlex HX240c M6 Edge cluster to the network, emphasizing scalability, flexibility, and reliability for edge deployments. These topologies support configurations using existing top-of-rack switches, with options for single-switch or dual-switch setups. Single-switch topologies are cost-effective and ideal for smaller environments, while dual-switch configurations enhance redundancy and fault tolerance, ensuring continuous operations in the event of a network failure. The flexibility to use 1GE, 10GE, or 25GE switching enables organizations to optimize bandwidth and performance based on their needs. These topologies are integral to the cluster's ability to provide seamless, high-performance hyperconverged infrastructure in edge environments, such as remote offices or branch locations, where infrastructure simplicity and reliability are paramount.
