Dell PowerFlex Appliance with PowerFlex 4.x Architecture Overview
Storage-consuming nodes
PowerFlex hyperconverged nodes
PowerFlex hyperconverged nodes are based on PowerEdge R660, R760, R650, R750, R640, R740xd, and R840 servers. PowerFlex is deployed on these nodes in a true hyperconverged form where the PowerFlex data client and storage data serve software components are installed on the same PowerFlex node. PowerFlex hyperconverged nodes provide and consume storage.
PowerFlex compute-only nodes
PowerFlex compute-only nodes are based on PowerEdge R660, R760, R6625, R7625, R650, R750, R6525, R7525, R640, R740xd, and R840 servers. The PowerFlex compute-only node enables you to deploy PowerFlex in a two-layer architecture that delivers ultimate flexibility when it comes to independently scaling compute and storage resources. The PowerFlex SDC software component is installed on PowerFlex compute-only nodes.
PowerFlex file nodes
PowerFlex file nodes are based on PowerEdge R660 and PowerEdge R650 servers with two third generation Intel Xeon scalable processors with up to 24 cores per processor. PowerFlex file nodes are deployed in a cluster of 2 to 16 nodes. The PowerFlex storage data client software component is installed on PowerFlex file nodes.
