Non-converged network configuration

Non-converged network configuration

  • In the non-converged network configurations, storage traffic is separated from management/VM traffic using dedicated storage network adapters. The following figure depicts this network integration option.

    The following figure depicts using four NIC ports for storage in a non-converged topology.

    In the non-converged configuration, storage traffic can either be on the physical ports or implemented as virtual adapters in the host operating system that is connected to a Switch-Embedded Team.
