SmartX Hyperconverged Infrastructure
Consolidate and maximize the computing power and simplify the rack space1.
The traditional architecture
The HCI transformation
Fully integrated computing power and storage capabilities
In traditional data center, it required complicated hardware devices for storage and network equipment, and dedicated man-power for system maintenance.
HCI offers clean and simple architecture based on x86 server and simple network device, increasing your ROI and lower on-going maintenance cost.

The comparison of racks using conventional architecture or SmartX hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) are displayed in quantities according to the width of the visiting browser.
- If four racks are shown, the racks based on the conventional architecture contain 20 x 2U single-node compute servers, 4 x 4U storage controllers, 4 x 2U storage expansion racks, 4 x 1U service network switches, and 8 x 1U storage network switches. If these are converted into the equivalent amount of compute nodes, the racks based on HCI contain 5 x 2U Halo 8100S Appliances, 1 x 1U service network switch, and 2 x 1U storage network switches. Adoption of HCI reduced the required rack capacity by 83%, from 76U to 13U.
- If two racks are shown, the racks based on the conventional architecture contain 12 x 2U single-node compute servers, 2 x 4U storage controllers, 2 x 2U storage expansion racks, 2 x 1U service network switches, and 4 x 1U storage network switches. If these are converted into the equivalent amount of compute nodes, the racks based on HCI contain 3 x 2U Halo 8100S Appliances, 1 x 1U service network switch, and 2 x 1U storage network switches. Adoption of HCI reduced the required rack capacity by 79%, from 42U to 9U.
- If one rack is shown, the rack based on the conventional architecture contains 4 x 2U single-node compute servers, 1 x 4U storage controllers, 1 x 2U storage expansion racks, 1 x 1U service network switches, and 2 x 1U storage network switches. If these are converted into the equivalent amount of compute nodes, the rack based on HCI contains 1 x 2U Halo 8100S Appliances, 1 x 1U service network switch, and 2 x 1U storage network switches. Adoption of HCI reduced the required rack capacity by 71%, from 17U to 5U.
- The comparative figures provide a rough approximation of the reduced server space requirements provided by SmartX HCI. The configuration and supply situation for Halo and Halo Express HCI appliances are subject to change. Other internal and external factors such as a change in the actual model purchased and model configuration means that the data provided above may not be always applicable. The effect that SmartX HCI has on the physical rack space should be calculated in accordance with real-world conditions. The above information is therefore not explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by SmartX in any way.
