Because of the ready-to-go Hyper Converged Infrastructure (HCI) building blocks and the setup wizard provided by Cisco, customer deployments can be executed in hours instead of days.

For initial deployment, Cisco expanded end-to-end automation across network, compute, hypervisor and storage in HX 1.8 and refined this in HX 2.0.

HX 3.0 introduced the ability for centralized global deployment from the cloud, delivered through Cisco Intersight.
