This section describes the architecture and design used to demonstrate CloudStack integration with PowerFlex.
In this solution, PowerFlex is deployed in a two-layer architecture, where the storage-only nodes are configured as the block storage system for the CloudStack environment.
The PowerFlex compute-only nodes, containing the SDC driver are configured as CloudStack KVM hypervisor nodes, which provide the compute platform for virtual machines (VMs).
