Hi @plp_pnlr ,
You asked:

The sad answer is definately NO.
But it is a bit more complicated than that. Cisco bought the company that developed the software (Springpath) a few years back, and put a lot of effort into fine-tuning the software/hardware combination to get the best performance.
IF you were able to use the software on regular UCS, it's unlikely that you'd get the same performance as a purpose built setup.
But in this ever-increasing world of cloud based automation, Cisco is under incresing pressure to release a software-only version of Hyperflex.
So the answer may change in the future.
