C220 M7 All Flash / All NVMe Nodes
Is your IT infrastructure holding you back? In today's fast-paced digital landscape, legacy systems that are complex, siloed, and slow to scale can cripple innovation and inflate operational costs. It's time to stop managing infrastructure and start enabling business outcomes with a solution built for the demands of the modern, hybrid cloud era.
The Cisco Compute Hyperconverged C220 M7 Node family, born from a powerful partnership between Cisco and Nutanix, is your direct path to a simplified, powerful, and future-proof data center. These nodes merge Cisco's industry-leading server hardware with the revolutionary Nutanix Cloud Platform, delivering a seamless, software-defined solution. Whether you choose the All-Flash or All-NVMe model, you get extreme performance, operational simplicity, and enterprise-grade resilience, all in a highly efficient 1RU footprint.
At the heart of the C220 M7 lies the raw power of one or two 4th or 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors, featuring up to 64 cores per socket and a suite of built-in accelerators for AI and analytics. This processing muscle is paired with a massive memory capacity of up to 4TB of high-speed DDR5 RAM, ensuring your most demanding applications and databases never face a bottleneck. The choice is yours: configure your nodes with up to ten high-capacity All-Flash (SATA/SAS) SSDs for incredible performance, or opt for the All-NVMe model to achieve the absolute lowest latency for workloads where every microsecond counts.
This isn't just about raw hardware specs; it's about intelligent, unified management. The C220 M7 is deeply integrated with the Nutanix Cloud Platform for a true hyperconverged experience and can be managed through Cisco Intersight—a cloud-based, AI-driven platform that simplifies operations across your entire hybrid environment. This powerful combination provides a turnkey solution that's easy to deploy, manage, and scale, freeing your IT team to focus on strategic initiatives instead of routine maintenance.
Purchasing world-class technology like the Cisco C220 M7 is only the beginning. The true value and return on your investment are realized through expert design, flawless implementation, and proactive support tailored to your unique business environment.

Q: What is the main difference between the All-Flash and All-NVMe C220 M7 models?
A: The primary difference is storage performance. The All-Flash model uses high-performance SATA/SAS SSDs, offering a fantastic balance of speed and capacity for most enterprise workloads. The All-NVMe model uses NVMe drives that connect directly to the PCIe bus, providing the absolute lowest latency and highest throughput, making it ideal for the most demanding applications like real-time analytics and high-frequency trading databases. Our experts at Nexus ITX can help you analyze your workload to determine the most cost-effective choice for your needs.
Q: How does this solution integrate with the Nutanix Cloud Platform?
A: This isn't just a server that can run Nutanix; it's a deeply integrated solution. The Cisco C220 M7 nodes are engineered and validated specifically for the Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP). This means you get the full software-defined experience, including Nutanix AHV or VMware vSphere virtualization, unified storage (files, objects, blocks), and one-click management for both hardware and software, all supported holistically.
Q: Can I manage these nodes with my existing Cisco tools?
A: Yes, absolutely. The platform offers incredible flexibility. You can manage it through the cloud-native, AI-powered Cisco Intersight platform for simplified operations across a hybrid cloud. Alternatively, you can use the traditional, on-premises Cisco UCS Manager or manage it in a standalone mode, ensuring it fits perfectly into your existing operational model.
Q: Is the C220 M7 suitable for a small remote or branch office (ROBO)?
A: Yes, it's an excellent choice for edge and ROBO deployments. The C220 M7 can be deployed in compact and highly-available 1-node or 2-node clusters, providing enterprise-grade compute and storage in a small footprint. This allows you to run applications locally for performance while managing everything centrally, which is a key advantage our team at Nexus ITX can help you implement.
Q: Can Nexus ITX help us migrate from our current 3-tier infrastructure?
A: Definitely. Migration is one of our core competencies. Our team of certified professionals will work with you to plan and execute a seamless, low-risk migration from your legacy servers, storage, and networking to this modern hyperconverged platform. We handle everything from workload assessment to final cutover. Contact us to discuss your migration project.
