An OpenStack-based cloud is now a common need by many organizations and Dell Technologies with Red Hat have worked together to build a jointly engineered and validated architecture that details software, hardware, and integration points of all solution components. The architecture provides prescriptive guidance and recommendations for:
- Hardware design
- Infrastructure nodes
- Compute nodes
- Storage nodes
- Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) nodes (Compute & Storage combined)
- Distributed Compute Nodes (DCN)
- Network design
- Software layout
- Offers suggestion for other system configurations
