The following diagram shows the logical architecture of this solution:
The PowerFlex cluster is deployed on four PowerFlex storage-only nodes and three compute-only nodes using PowerFlex Manager. The four storage-only nodes are installed with the PowerFlex embedded operating system, and the compute-only nodes are installed with VMware ESXi hypervisor.
For more information about the test setup used in this paper, please see the Test configuration.
The Delphix DevOps Appliance is deployed on Dell PowerFlex. The Delphix DevOps Appliance consists of a set of components that work together to manage and provision virtual databases. These components are deployed as virtual machines on the Dell PowerFlex compute-only cluster nodes.
For more information about the Delphix appliance configuration used in this solution, see the next section.
Note: In this test setup, a single system is used for both the Target environment and the Staging environment.
