Cloud services (optional)
You can opt in to these Microsoft services during or after deployment.
When you deploy Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft, you are given the option to register for the following Microsoft Azure services:
• Azure Operational Insights, available only in certain regions as seen when you Onboard to Azure Site Recovery.
• Azure Backup
• Azure Site Recovery
• Operational Insights (also known as Operations Management Suite).
If you do not choose to opt in to these services during deployment, you can do so at any time. Instructions for how to do this are included

Compute cluster
All of the physical compute nodes in a Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft stamp form a single compute cluster. The compute cluster
consists of the physical Hyper-V nodes that host the VMs for the management infrastructure and the tenant compute workloads. All of
these physical nodes run Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition (Server Core conguration).
The name of the compute cluster is <Prefix>CCL.
NOTE
: The <Prefix>CCL value that this guide uses for physical computer and VM names is a customer-specied prex for the
Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft stamp.
Storage cluster
The storage cluster is a two- to four-node Scale-Out File Server (SOFS) that is connected to just a bunch of disks (JBOD) storage. The
system uses Storage Spaces with an SOFS to provide shared storage in the form of SMB shares. These SMB shares are used by VMs to
store their associated VHD (Virtual Hard Disk) les.
