You're right. &nbsp;I am going to close this out and contact Cisco directly. &nbsp;Thanks for the advice

How did the conversation go? Did you get the necessary direction from them? What did they end up suggesting (I'm pretty curious about the setup)?

Ted,

I'm meeting with them on Tuesday. &nbsp;Pretty simple actually. &nbsp;Firstly, their default is replication factor 3, and as far as growth they can scale up to 64 nodes. &nbsp;I think I made it too complicated in my head. &nbsp;So they'll help me get set up next Tuesday. &nbsp;Thanks

Awesome stuff. Please keep me in the loop. I'm still curious about the setup. :)

We are providing a data center for many analysts using the Cisco hyper-convergence interconnect with a number of server UCS nodes and the Fabric Interconnect.<br />
<br />
We need to provide a replication factor of 3. &nbsp;How do we show that the system has an RF of 3? &nbsp;Do you have diagrams and explanation how that is done?<br />
<br />
<br />
Also, we need to show we would add storage and replication so that the system is somewhat &quot;future proof&quot;, meaning it doesn't have to be constantly upgraded.<br />
<br />
Can you get me started on how to show that?<br />
<br />
Thank you.<br />

Cisco Hyperconvergence setup

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).
