Virtual access layer/v Sw itch<br />

Cisco Nexus 1000V distributed virtual switch acts as the virtual network access layer <strong>for</strong> the virtual<br />

machines. Edge LAN policies such as quality of service marking and vNIC ACLs are implemented at<br />

this layer in Nexus 1000V port-profiles.<br />

The following table describes the virtual access layer.<br />

Component<br />

One data center<br />

VMware ESXi serv ers<br />

Tenant<br />

Description<br />

One primary Nexus 1000V Virtual Superv isor Module (VSM)<br />

One secondary Nexus 1000V Virtual Superv isor Module<br />

Each running an instance of the Nexus 1000V Virtual Ethernet Module (VEM)<br />

<strong>Multi</strong>ple v irtual machines, which hav e diff erent applications such as Web<br />

serv er, database, and so f orth, <strong>for</strong> each tenant<br />

Storage and SA N layer<br />

The trusted multi-tenancy design framework is based on the use of storage arrays supporting fibre<br />

channel connectivity. The storage arrays connect through MDS SAN switches to the UCS 6120<br />

switches in the access layer. Several layers of security (including zoning, access controls at the guest<br />

operating system and ESXi level, and logical unit number (LUN) masking within the VNX) tightly<br />

control access to data on the storage system.<br />

Compute layer<br />

The following table provides an example of the components of a multi-tenant environment virtual<br />

compute farm.<br />

Note: A <strong>Vblock</strong> System may have more resources than what is described in the f ollowing table.<br />

Component<br />

Description<br />

Three UCS 5108 chassis • 11 UCS B200 servers (dual quad-core Intel Xeon X5570 CPU at<br />

2.93 GHZ and 96 GB RAM)<br />

• Four UCS B440 serv ers (f our Intel Xeon 7500 series processors<br />

and 32 dual in-line memory module slots with 256 GB memory)<br />

• Ten GbE Cisco VIC conv erged network adapters (CNA)<br />

organized into a VMware ESXi cluster<br />

15 serv ers (4 clusters) • Each serv er has two CNAs and are dual-attached to the UCS<br />

6100 f abric interconnect<br />

• The CNAs provide:<br />

- LAN and SAN connectivity to the serv ers, which run<br />

VMware ESXi 5.0 hypervisor<br />

- LAN and SAN services to the hypervisor<br />
