Hardware recommendation

  • PowerFlex uses industry-leading Dell EMC PowerEdge servers that are rigorously tested and integrated into the PowerFlex system with a broad range of configuration options based on the requirements.

    The following hyperconverged nodes are recommended for this solution:

    • PowerFlex R640 – a 1U compact and powerful node, ideal for regular (non-graphics intensive) virtual desktops, occupying less space in the data center resulting in more density per rack.
    • PowerFlex R740xd – a 2U node that supports NVIDIA GPU hardware, the NVIDIA virtual GPU software enables a physical GPU to be shared across multiple virtual desktops. Recommended for graphics intensive VDI use cases.

    For more information about supported servers and switches, see PowerFlex specification sheet.
