3. HPE ProLiant Integrated Systems
HPE ProLiant DX integrated systems combine compute, memory, and storage in several different
form factors. Because they come integrated with Nutanix software, these systems empower
organizations to deliver public cloud–like agility and functionality with the control of private cloud.
Nutanix maintains a list of supported HPE ProLiant DX integrated systems and HPE ProLiant DL
general-purpose servers (select HPE in the Select your preferred Platform Providers field).
The HPE ProLiant DX and DL platforms support Nutanix AHV, VMware vSphere, and Microsoft
Hyper-V. Customers who have deployed Nutanix on general-purpose HPE ProLiant DL servers
can expand their existing clusters with HPE ProLiant DX integrated systems.
3.1. Network Topology
HPE ProLiant DX integrated systems operate much like other Nutanix-enabled appliance models,
such as Nutanix NX, Dell EMC XC, Lenovo HX, Fujitsu XF, and Inspur InMerge. Most HPE
ProLiant DX integrated systems connect to a top-of-rack (ToR) switch through redundant 10 or 25
GbE cables. A single 1 GbE cable for out-of-band (OOB) management connects to the dedicated
integrated Lights-Out (iLO) connector port, similar to the IPMI management interface on Nutanix
NX appliances, and provides a web and SSH interface for monitoring and managing the physical
components.
