13 Deployment Options S C S C S C C C C APPLICATION/ HYPERVISOR HOST S C S C S C S S S STORAGE PLUS ADDITIONAL STORAGE Option1: Hyper-converge Applications and storage share the same physical node All nodes are a mix of VCE VxRack System 1032 node types relevant to application workload i.e., dense compute, hybrid, dense storage Adding more servers increases the cluster-wide storage and compute resources Enables non-disruptive rolling hardware refresh for in-line lifecycle management Option 2: Two-layered Application and storage servers installed in separate hardware tiers 1 st tier predominantly dense compute and hybrid node 2 nd tier predominantly hybrid and dense storage Aligned to maintain application and technology support teams Discrete storage/network/server orgs Efficient parallelism and no single points of failure between apps and storage S SDS Server C SDS Client A combination of option 1 and 2 is feasible

14 VxRack System Nomenclature VxRack System resources are presented in nodes VxRack System node = assembly of CPU, Memory, Storage resources Local Disk (SSD) CPU RAM CPU Local Disk (HDD) VxRack System 1032 nodes are sold in 2RU* enclosures Dense compute enclosure = 4 nodes Dense storage / storage only enclosure = 1 node 2RU Dense compute enclosures initially sold fully populated 4 nodes, must be all the same configuration (no mix and match) Long term goal is to enable configure-to-order * RU = Rack Unit. A unit of measure that describes the height of equipment designed to mount in a physical DC rack

20 VxRack Massive ScaleOUT «The performance results clearly show that ScaleIO lives up to its name and continues to scale, even when nodes are populated with extremely fast storage devices. ESG Lab has no doubt that a ScaleIO cluster will continue to scale in both capacity and performance as nodes are added to hundreds or even thousands of nodes. Copyright» 2015 EMC Corporation.

21 Sample Config #1 - (up to 64/108 nodes) 42RU VXRACK SYSTEM CONTROLLER 2 x CISCO 31xx NEXUS TOP OF RACK SWITCHES 1 CISCO MGMT SWITCH DENSE STORAGE DENSE STORAGE DENSE STORAGE DENSE STORAGE Base configuration is a single rack Minimum configuration of 3 x enclosures 3 is minimum requirement for ScaleIO SDS deployment Can be any mix of dense compute/storage, storage only Management switch is Nexus3172 Connects to 1GB IPMI port on every enclosure (Out of Band) VxRack System Controller runs M&O components Lightweight hardware bootstrap vs traditional Vblock System AMP 1RU server. Top of Rack switches are Nexus 3132 or 3164 switches Dense compute = 16x10GB per enclosure (4 NICs/Node) Dense storage/storage only = up to 4x10GB per enclosure Nexus 31xx provide inter-node connectivity (10GB) and also customer network uplink (10GB or 40GB) Maximum of 108 nodes (exact rack count depends on type of enclosures used) # of nodes is dependent on network topology

22 Network Topology Switch selection LAN switching uses either the Cisco Nexus 3132Q-X Switch, the Cisco Nexus 3164Q Switch or the Cisco Nexus 9332PQ Switch. Cisco 3132Q 32x 40G QSFP+ (or 128x 10G w/ breakout cable) Cisco 3164Q 64x 40G QSFP+ (or 256x 10G w/ breakout cable) Cisco 9332PQ 32x 40G QSFP+ (or 256x 10G with breakout cable) The default non-aci (Application Centric Infrastructure) network design contains a pair of connected Cisco Nexus 3132Q-X or Cisco Nexus 3164Q access layer switches which support a maximum of 108 nodes.

23 Network Topology - deployment When density exceeds 108 nodes, the switch pairs can be bundled together and attached to a pair of Cisco Nexus 9332PQ leaf switches, supporting up to 216 nodes. When density exceeds 216 nodes, the 9332PQ switches can be attached into the Vscale spine to allow for large-scale deployments. Vscale Spine

24 Network Topology Vscale Spine ACI environments contain nodes connected directly into the 9332PQ leaf switches which support a maximum of 48 nodes. When density exceeds 48 nodes, the 9332PQ switches can be attached into the Vscale Spine to allow for large scale deployments. While this scaling introduces multiple physical VxRack System units they can be configured into a single logical VxRack System Cluster via these 9332PQ network connections and the VSAN will span all the nodes in a network grouping. Note: SDN is not supported in the initial release. The compute layer connects to the Ethernet component of the network layer. The southbound fabric interconnects connect to the Cisco Nexus switches in the Ethernet network through 10GbE port channels.
