The hardware components of the Cloudera Private Cloud Data Platform stack include:
- The Dell PowerEdge R7625 is perfect for high-requirement data applications with up to two 4th generation AMD EPYC processors, up to 8x PCIe Gen5 slots and DDR5 memory. Each server has a 25GbE network connection, two sockets at 96 cores each, and 760GiB of memory.
- The Dell PowerScale all-flash models best suited for intensive high computing workloads are:
- PowerScale F900 for massive high-performance computing workloads
- PowerScale F710 for AI and GenAI use cases and high concurrency
- PowerScale F600 for business and artificial intelligence applications
- PowerScale F210 for AI and GenAI use cases and high concurrency
- The Dell PowerSwitch S5248F-ON delivers the top of rack switching. It is a 25 GbE/100 GbE open networking switch that provides state-of-the-art, high-density switching. The open networking capability provides extra flexibility for ever-changing network configurations. The software-defined networking enables a communications fabric that can change and adapt to the containerized compute cluster. The fabric optimizes communications paths when the compute demands as workloads are deployed and shifted across the worker nodes. LACP mode is not required here but certainly can be used.
