This reference architecture describes a process to deploy VMware Greenplum on PowerFlex using a two-layer architecture illustrating the flexibility and performance of the solution and how it can fit complex use cases.

These use cases are not just theoretical, the architecture was tested using realistic data. Part of this included performing 182 parallel queries while the PowerFlex storage was placed under additional load and showed excellent performance without any storage bottlenecks.

The architecture also provides best practices for deploying Greenplum in a PowerFlex environment. These best practices are designed to drive performance, resiliency, and scale from the environment when implemented.
