Lab validation

  • The previous chapter outlined the APEX Cloud Platform for Azure with PowerFlex requirements at a high level. This chapter shares the precise details of this configuration as built in the Dell labs.

    Dell engineers performed the testing and validation using three MC-760 Azure Stack HCI nodes and four PowerFlex R760 custom nodes. They set up a typical enterprise hierarchical LAN network design including access and aggregation layers, as shown in the following diagram.

    The following diagram depicts the host networking configuration and connectivity to the ToRs for both the MC nodes and PowerFlex nodes:
