1. Overview
Intel® Data Center Blocks (Intel® DCB) for Nutanix* Enterprise Cloud are single systems that include
processors, server boards, chassis, power supply, storage, networking, and memory validated together to
work with the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud operating system. Intel DCB systems are configurable to order with a
multitude of hardware configurations certified by Nutanix to best fit current business needs.
1.1 Product Family Summary
Intel® DCB for Nutanix* Enterprise Cloud includes two configurable server platforms:
• System based on Intel® Server Board S2600WF family (single-node)
• System based on Intel® Compute Module HNS2600BP family (four-node)
Intel’s 2U single-node system, based on the Intel® Server Board S2600WF, is architected for up to 24 high
performance flash storage devices with balanced input and output operations. Greater throughput and lower
latency allow for faster access to large datasets which is desirable for enterprise class workloads.
The advanced thermal design of Intel’s 2U four-node system, based on the Intel Compute Module
HNS2600BP, allows for high compute density including options for more powerful processors that deliver
more performance in a 2U space and at a lower hardware cost compared to four separate 1U or 2U systems.
This makes an Intel DCB based on the Intel Compute Module HNS2600BP an excellent choice for virtualized
systems.
Table 1 provides an overview of the available systems and their key features. For additional order
information and full product descriptions, refer to Chapter 2.

2. System Configurations
Intel® DCB for Nutanx* Enterprise Cloud are L9 Integrated systems with fixed and flexible components. These
systems are custom defined using Intel’s configure-to-order (CTO) system with no fixed SKUs. The CTO tool
is designed to take the risk out of component selection allowing only certified and compatible options. Get
started with the CTO tool at
blocks/configure-to-order.html.
Note: The Intel DCB for Nutanix Enterprise Cloud systems do not include Nutanix Enterprise Cloud software.
Contact a qualified Nutanix software provider for details on how to integrate the software.
