Hardware overview
This section provides an overview of the hardware used to validate this deployment.
Appendix D
contains a
complete listing of hardware and software that is validated for this guide.
Note:
While the steps in this document were validated using the specified Dell EMC Networking switches and
operating systems, they may be used for other Dell EMC Networking switch models using the same
networking operating system version or later assuming the switch has the available port numbers, speeds,
and types.
2.1
Dell EMC VxRail P570
The Dell EMC VxRail P series consists of high-performance nodes that are optimized for heavy workloads,
such as databases. Each appliance in the series has one node per 2-Rack Unit (RU) chassis. The models
within this series are the Dell EMC VxRail P570 (hybrid), and the Dell EMC VxRail P570F (all-flash). These
models are single or dual processor models based on the Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 rack server. The
example within this document uses four VxRail P570 nodes.

Dell EMC VxRail E560
The Dell EMC VxRail E series consists of nodes that are best suited for remote office or entry workloads. The
E series nodes support up to 40 CPU cores, 1536GB memory, and 16TB hybrid or 30TB all-flash storage in a
1-RU form factor. The example within this document uses four VxRail E560 nodes.
