Cisco HyperFlex Systems for Agile Development and DevOps Highlights Support All Development Phases • Support All Development Phases • Cisco HyperFlex™ Systems can support your development and production environments. • Rapid infrastructure provisioning supports development and testing, • This high-performance platform with independent resource scaling supports your production environments. The Support You Need for Every Phase • Quickly provision and take down development and test environments. • Quickly iterate from development to test to production environment. • Quickly scale the environment. • Easily clone your hardware. Solution Brief June 2016 What if you could use the same environment for test, development, and production? Cisco HyperFlex™ Systems give you both with a simple unified management system. Cisco UCS with Intel® Xeon® Processors Both agile software development processes and DevOps methodologies embody a process of continuous integration (Figure 1). Agile development processes get software created quickly, and DevOps methodologies take them to production. • Agile software development processes have transformed the way that we create new applications. Rapid sequencing through development, deployment, and testing phases has accelerated the application lifecycle, allowing organizations to deploy applications sooner and iteratively improve them over time. Agile development needs the support of new multitier application environments that can be created and taken down sometimes several times per day. • DevOps methodologies structure and automate the process of bringing applications into production. They automate system administration processes so that applications can come into production in controlled, repeatable ways. They codify performance and security requirements so that, after you’ve deployed an application, you can count on it to behave the same way from release to release. Cisco HyperFlex Systems Cisco HyperFlex Systems combine computing, storage, and networking in a simplified, easy-to-use platform. This solution supports both your development and deployment processes with the agility, flexibility, performance, and efficiency that you need, all controlled through a single point of management. © 2016 Cisco Systems, Inc.

Cisco HyperFlex Systems for Agile Development and DevOps Quickly provision and take down environments: You can quickly create new environments by cloning existing ones to support both agile development processes and DevOps. The Cisco HyperFlex HX Data Platform is integrated into the cluster and quickly creates space-efficient clones by manipulating only metadata. Virtual machine creation is accomplished through the familiar VMware vSphere interface, interconnected through a unified fabric that carries all cluster traffic—IP networking, management, and storage traffic—through a redundant fabric...
