VCE Vblock™ Systems Series 700 Architecture Overview

Overview

Vblock systems are designed to keep hardware changes to a minimum should the customer decide to change

the storage protocol after installation (for example, from block storage to unified storage).

For the 700LX, cabinet space is reserved for all components that are needed for each storage configuration

(MDS switches, X-Blades, etc.). All network and power cabling for these components are in place.

Connectivity overview

Components and interconnectivity within Vblock systems are conceptually subdivided into three layers:

Layer Description

Compute Contains the components that provide the computing power within the Vblock system. The Cisco UCS

blade servers, chassis, and fabric interconnects belong in this layer. Refer to Compute overview.

Storage Contains the storage components for both block and file storage types. In the 700MX, the EMC VMAX

20K array components belong in this layer. In the 700LX, the EMC VMAX 10K array components belong

in this layer. Both Vblock 700 models offer the VG NAS gateway components for file storage. Refer to

Storage overview.

Network Contains the components that provide switching and routing between the compute and storage layers

within a Vblock system, and between the Vblock system and the customer network. The Cisco Nexus

switches and the Cisco MDS switches belong in this layer. Refer to Network overview.

All components incorporate redundancy into the design.

The following topics present connectivity configurations for the Vblock Series 700:

•

Block storage configuration

•

SAN boot storage configuration

•

Unified storage configuration

The VCE Vblock Systems Series 700 Model LX Port Assignments Reference provides information about the

assigned use for each port in the Vblock system. Refer to

Accessing VCE documentation.
