Consumption—buying is better

Invest to make a visible difference to business Instead, focus on

• Enabling business applications

• Operationalizing infrastructure quickly

• Making infrastructure changes transparent to needs of applications

Invest in areas that derive differentiation(Infrastructure is not one!)

What is a node?

Compute blade

Diskpack

1-4 nodes per chassis• The first appliance must be fully populated• Subsequent appliances in the cluster can be

partially populated

Each node contains:• A compute blade with CPUs, DIMMs, & NICs• A disk pack with cache & persistent storage• Hybrid disk packs have 3-5 storage HDDs• All-Flash disk packs have 1-5 storage SSDs

Single node scaling and upgradesMinimizes risk and enables pay as you grow

Start with what you need

Minimize risk by closelymatching your requirements

Scale out

Add as few a one node toincrease performance and capacity

Predictable linear pricing

Scale up

Incrementally add storage as data grows

Best for unexpected

Nodes within a chassis must be homogenous

Populate homogenous drives across all available nodes
