Reference Architecture
Reference Architecture for Active System 800m with Hyper-V:
Dell Inc. 26
Figure 12: Connectivity of OOB management components.
8 Scalability
As workloads increase, the solution can be scaled to provide additional compute and storage resources
independently.
Scaling Compute and Network Resources: This solution is configured with two Dell Force10 S4810
network switches. Up to two Dell PowerEdge M1000e chassis can be added to the two Force10
switches.
Scaling Storage Resources: Dell EqualLogic PS6110 Series storage can be scaled seamlessly and
independent of the compute and network architectures. This design is currently limited to four
enclosures in the single rack configuration and eight enclosures in the two rack configurations.
9 Delivery Model
The Dell Active System 800m reference architecture can be purchased as a complete solution. This
solution is available to be racked, cabled, and delivered to the customer site to speed deployment.
Dell Services deploys and configures the solution tailored to the business needs of the customer and the
architecture is developed and validated by Dell Engineering. For more details or questions about the
delivery model, please consult with your Dell Sales representative.
