This section describes the architecture and design that is used to demonstrate running of the KDB.AI and timeseries database on PowerFlex.
In this solution, a two-layered PowerFlex configuration provides both compute and storage resources. PowerFlex Manager is used to deploy a PowerFlex storage-only (SO) cluster on four bare metal servers. This deployment is fully automated by PowerFlex Manager. The deployment of PowerFlex compute-only (CO) nodes is performed on two bare metal servers with Ubuntu 22.04 as the operating system.
For more information about the configuration of PowerFlex nodes used in this solution, see Configuration details.
