Reference Architecture for Active System 1000 with VMware vSphere

Page 29

9 Scalability

As workloads increase, the solution can be scaled to provide additional compute and storage resources

independently.

Scaling Compute and Network Resources: This solution is configured with two Dell Networking S4810

switches. Up to two PowerEdge M1000e chassis can be added to the two Dell Networking switches. In

order to scale the compute nodes beyond two chassis, new Dell Networking S4810 switches need to be

added.

Scaling Storage Resources: Compellent storage can be scaled seamlessly and independent of the

compute and network architectures. Additional drives and enclosures can be added to the existing

controllers. New volumes can be created or existing volumes can be expanded to utilize the capacity in

the added enclosures. The Active System 1000v solution can scale up to maximum of 16 array

enclosures. To scale beyond this, additional racks or controllers can be added. Compellent SC8000

controller can scale up to a maximum of 960 drives.

10 Delivery Model

This Reference Architecture can be purchased as a complete solution, the Active System 1000v. This

solution is available to be partially racked, cabled, and delivered to the customer site, to speed

deployment. Dell Services will deploy and configure the solution tailored to the business needs of the

customer and based on the architecture developed and validated by Dell Engineering. For more details

or questions about the delivery model, please consult with your Dell Sales representative.

Figure 13 below shows the Active System 1000v solution with a single chassis and up to 16 compute

hosts in a one rack configuration that also contains supporting Compellent storage. Figure 14 shows

Active System 1000v with two chassis with up to 32 compute hosts and maximum of 16 storage

enclosures in a two rack configuration. Figure 14 shows the configuration with one chassis and 16

compute hosts and four storage controllers available with the Active System 1000v solution. Note that

switches shown in figures are shown mounted forward for representation. In actual use, ports face the

back of the rack. PDUs shown are for illustration and will vary by region or customer power

requirements. Additional PDUs are utilized within the rack.
