Design Guide introduction

  • The DVD for the APEX Cloud Platform for Azure with PowerFlex consists of two guides. This design guide provides a conceptual and architectural overview of the solution and details the integration testing performed in the Dell Technologies engineering labs. The accompanying implementation guide contains step-by-step instructions for configuring your MC nodes and network infrastructure to consume block storage from PowerFlex clusters.

    Throughout the engineering planning and validation efforts, we prioritized the following configuration quality attributes:

    • High availability—Avoid single points of failure at the compute, storage, and networking layers.
    • Scalability—Enable you to right-size the infrastructure to meet the demands of the current workload profile, while also letting you scale up and out for future growth projections.
    • Manageability—Leverage familiar tools to manage the configuration.
    • Simplicity—Provide a seamless experience for presenting this new external storage to Azure Stack HCI for IT administrators already familiar with S2D.
