Hyperconverged - Virtual SAN DROs DataCore Hyper-converged Virtual SAN Combined compute and storage for performance, availability and smallest footprint

Converged Server SAN DROs SANsymphony Server SAN Efficient, high performance Server-based Storage services for applications running on external hosts

Virtualized Storage Server DROs SANsymphony Virtualized Storage Server Integrate, manage, and enhance existing storage array(s)

DRO Scalability & Flexibility Scale Up Field Upgrade (same chassis) Memory Network Storage* External Storage* Scale Out Additional Nodes (n+1) SCALE UP SCALE OUT * Increase DCSW licenses accordingly.

DROs: Best Practices ……… Use a 2-node cluster as minimum building block deployment Add additional nodes as required (performance and/or storage) Each node must have its own DCSW license(s) ……… Take advantage of Stretch Cluster for enhanced HA (up to 50 km) Use RAID-1 for SSDs and RAID-5 or 6 for HDDs (DRO default) For storage upgrades, add at least 5-10% in SSD capacity Use 1TB extensions on top of Base license to get to a specific capacity Make sure to use appropriate 1TB Extension license P/Ns to optimize SW costs Always add Implementation Services & Training
