  • A Cisco UCS 6454 Fabric Interconnect, Cisco B-Series servers, Cisco Nexus 9300 Series, NetApp AFF A400, and FAS2750
  • B Cisco UCS 6332 Fabric Interconnect, Cisco B-Series servers, Cisco Nexus 9300 Series, NetApp AFF A400, and FAS8300
  • C Cisco UCS 6454 Fabric Interconnect, Cisco B-Series servers, Cisco Nexus 9300 Series, NetApp AFF A400, and FAS8300
  • D Cisco UCS 6324 Fabric Interconnect, Cisco B-Series servers, Cisco Nexus 9300 Series, NetApp AFF A400, and FAS2750
Explanation

Cisco UCS 6454 Fabric Interconnects provide 10/25GbE connectivity and sufficient port density for 25 servers. NetApp FAS8300 supports 25GbE Ethernet as well as NFS and iSCSI, making it suitable for the hybrid-storage tier; AFF A400 provides the flash-storage tier. This combination satisfies the connectivity, protocol, flash-storage, and hybrid-storage requirements.
