Chapter 1: Hardware overview
This section contains the following topics:
• Hardware components
• Environmental and technical specifications
• About hardware upgrades
• About firmware revisions
The foundation of the SimpliVity architecture is two or more high-performance and highly-available OmniCube
servers. An OmniCube server provides computing, storage, networking, and other resources to the virtual
machines (VM) in the Federation.
After installing the hardware in a rack and connecting power and network cables, you can deploy each OmniCube
server into a SimpliVity Federation. As your capacity and performance needs increase, you can add more
OmniCube servers for easy, on-demand scalability, with no disruption to users.
Hardware components
Each OmniCube model provides different hardware configurations for storage, compute, and memory.
