9 Dell EMC Networking OS9 Switch Configuration Guide for VxRail 4.5
2.3.2 Dell EMC VxRail V Series node
VxRail V Series nodes are graphics-ready for uses such as high-end 2D/3D visualization. V Series nodes
support up to 40 CPU cores, 1024GB memory, 3 GPUs, and 24TB hybrid or 46TB all-flash storage in a 2-RU
form factor.
2.3.3 Dell EMC VxRail S Series node
VxRail S Series nodes provide expanded storage capacity for collaboration, data, and analytics. S Series
nodes support up to 36 CPU cores, 1536GB memory, and 48TB hybrid storage in a 2-RU form factor.
2.3.4 Dell EMC VxRail E Series node
VxRail E Series nodes are best suited for remote office or entry workloads. 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.

2.3.5 VxRail node network adapters
Each 14G VxRail node includes a rack server Network Daughter Card (rNDC) with one of the following port
combinations:
• 2x25GbE SFP28 ports
• 2x10GbE SFP+ or BASE-T ports
• 4x10GbE SFP+ or BASE-T ports
• 4x1GbE BASE-T ports (for single CPU nodes only, max 8 nodes/cluster)

Note: Each of the VxRail P570 nodes in the deployment examples in this guide contains a Broadcom 57414
rNDC with 2x25GbE SFP28 ports.
VxRail optimizes network traffic by splitting it across rNDC uplinks and by using Network I/O control (NIOC)
shares for different traffic types. See Appendix B
for more information.
