Sizer Sprint Release Announcement (20 May 2025)
Hello Sizer Users,
We’re excited to announce the latest enhancements from our May 2025 sprints, designed to make your infrastructure planning even smoother and more efficient!
✨ Key Enhancements:
1. In-App Hardware Vendor Request for Partners
- We’ve streamlined the process for Partners to request hardware vendor access directly within the Sizer application, significantly reducing friction.
- This functionality is also available for customers and prospects who wish to perform sizing with their preferred hardware vendors.
- All requests will undergo a review and due diligence process before access is granted.
- Our Sizer FAQs have been updated to reflect this new process.
2. Shift to SPEC 2017 Integer Rates
- Sizer has transitioned from using SPEC 2006 Integer Rates to the more current SPEC 2017 Integer Rates.
- While the 2017 values are generally lower, this change does not impact any existing or future sizings, ensuring consistency and accuracy.
3. Other enhancements
- NAI Licensing Option: The licensing dropdown now includes the option to select NAI licenses, providing more comprehensive configuration choices.
- Hybrid Nodes for Large FSVM: Sizer now supports hybrid nodes for large FSVMs, expanding beyond small-Str, Small, and Medium FSVMs to offer greater flexibility.
- Strip Size Details: Striping details will now be displayed in Sizer solutions when EC (Erasure Coding) savings are applicable, offering more transparency into storage efficiency.
- Generate CCW File: CCW File generation has been extended to support multi-cluster solutions and clusters with mixed nodes, making it simpler to import into Cisco CCW and produce comprehensive quotes.
- Thermal restriction guardrails for XC7625-24N – it has the same thermal restrictions as XC7625-24
🐛Bug Fixes:
We’ve also squashed a few bugs to improve your experience:
- Resolved an issue where NX-9151-G9 with drives could not be configured as an HCI node.
- Fixed the automatic closure of the bulk edit dialog upon enabling Sync Rep.
- Corrected the download failure for single-node solution proposals.

- OVHcloud-Scale-i1-G2-EMR-01
