Overview
You can deploy the Cisco Secure Workload M6 cluster in either of the following ways:
-
Large-form factor 39-rack unit (RU) platform (C1-Workload single rack) for data centers with more than 5000 servers
Note
You can deploy the large-form factor platform in either one or two racks depending on your requirements. See the following C1-Workload single rack and dual rack figures for examples.
-
Small-form factor 8-RU platform (C1-Workload-M) for data centers with fewer than 5000 servers. See the C1-Workload-M figure for the example.
