Reference Architecture for Active System 1000 with VMware vSphere

Page 13

 Extend your datacenter. Move VMs, vApps, and templates from private vSphere to a public

cloud to free up your on-premise datacenter resources as needed.

For more information, see VMware vCloud Connector.

4 Design Principles

The following principles are central to the design and architecture of the Active System 1000v Solution.

1. Redundancy with no single point-of-failure: Redundancy is incorporated in the critical

aspects

of the solution, including server high availability features, networking, and storage.

2. Management: Provide integrated management using VMware vCenter, Dell Management plug-in

for VMware vCenter, Dell OpenManage Essentials, Compellent Enterprise Manager and

Compellent plug-in for VMware vCenter.

3. Cloud Enabled: The solution also includes connectivity to public cloud using VMware vCloud

Connector.

4. Integration into an existing data center: This architecture assumes that there is an existing

10 Gb Ethernet infrastructure with which to integrate.

5. Hardware configuration for virtualization: This solution is designed for virtualization for most

general cases. Each blade server is configured with appropriate processor, memory, host bus,

and network adapters as required for virtualization.

6. Racked, Cabled, and Ready to be deployed: Active System is available partially racked,

cabled, and delivered to the customer site, ready for deployment. Components are configured

and racked to optimize airflow and thermals. Based on customer needs, different rack sizes

and configurations are available to support various datacenter requirements.

7. Power, Cooling, and Weight Considerations: Active System 1000v solution is configured with

Power Distribution Units (PDUs) to meet the power requirements of the components as well as

regional constraints. Power consumed, cooling required, and information regarding rack weight

are provided to enable customers to plan for the solution.

8. Flexible configurations: Active System 1000v is pre-configured to suit most customer needs for

a virtualized infrastructure. The solution also supports additional options, such as configuring

racks, server processors, server memory, and storage, based on customer needs.

5 Prerequisites and Datacenter Planning

To support the architecture, the following components are required to be present in the customer

environment:

1. An existing Ethernet infrastructure with which to integrate is required. 10Gb or 40Gb Ethernet

infrastructure is recommended.

2. Active Directory® (AD) - VMware vCenter can be configured to use Active Directory.

3. Domain Name Server (DNS) must be available on the management network.

4. Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server must be available on the management network.

Out of band management is not considered critical to user workload and does not have redundancy.
