The PowerFlex two-layer software-defined infrastructure design is used to scale both PowerFlex storage nodes and compute nodes independently, to match the capacity, performance, and growth demands. This flexible design creates a powerful platform to deploy database workloads such as MongoDB and meet the current and future performance and capacity needs.
PowerFlex supports the NVMe over TCP storage protocol for front-end connectivity. With this protocol, PowerFlex now provides a simple, and cost-effective way to consume storage. NVMe over TCP is the new standard protocol for storage, with growing adoption in the industry. NVMe over TCP with PowerFlex does not require a SDC on the application host. You can use standard NVMe over TCP drivers to connect to the PowerFlex storage.
This document provides guidelines for the deployment of MongoDB cluster on PowerFlex with NVMe over TCP. This document also shares some of the deployment best practices to run high value mission-critical workloads with reliable performance and high resilience.
