VCE Vblock™ Systems Series 700 Architecture Overview
Unified storage configuration
In a unified storage configuration for Vblock Series 700, the compute layer accesses the storage layer through
both file and block methods in the network layer using NFS/CIFS and Fibre Channel (FC) respectively. The
engines within the array connect to NAS gateway X-Blades through the fibre channel SAN. The X-Blades also
connect to the Cisco Nexus switches within the network layer over 10 GbE to provide NFS access to the
compute layer in addition to the block access described in
Block storage configuration. The unified topology is
shown in the following illustration:
