For this solution, we deployed a Dell Integrated System for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI. The Dell Integrated System for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI is a highly scalable, configurable purpose-built system. Customers can fine tune the components available within the system to best suit their data center needs.
The Dell Integrated System for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI used in this testing had four underlying AX-7525 nodes, each powered by 2 x 24 core AMD EPYC™ 7473X, 7003 Series processors. All four nodes had identical configuration to each other. We also leveraged our next-generation open networking with Dell PowerSwitch S5248F-ON switches.
The Dell S5248F-ON switches are an optimal Top-of-Rack (ToR) for our hyperconverged environment and support up to 100 GbE connectivity.
The components configured on a single AX-7525 node are described in the following table:
Component | Detail |
Processor | 2 x AMD EPYC™ 7473X |
Memory | 2 TB of Quad rank DDR-4 memory @ 3200 MT/s |
Physical Disks | 12 x 1.6 TB Dell Enterprise NVMe CM6 MU Drives |
Management NIC | Broadcom Adv. Dual 25 Gb Ethernet Adapter |
RDMA NIC | Mellanox ConnectX-6 Dx Dual Port 100 GbE QSFP56 Adapter |
Azure Stack HCI OS | Azure Stack HCI, version 22H2 (OS build 20349) |
