We simulate a real-world production mixed workload environment for database workloads, VDI, backups and file services and demonstrate the performance consistency. We measure the performance of running both Microsoft SQL Server and VMware Horizon concurrently in a 4-node vSAN cluster. This reference architecture is a showcase of deploying and managing mixed workloads on Dell EMC PowerEdge R740xd for vSAN Ready Nodes within VMware vSphere environment: Virtual Desktop Infrastructure workload. We simulate a mixed-usage production environment including the following workloads to explore the performance capability, consistency, and resiliency. In this solution, we provide design guidance and best practices for enterprise infrastructure administrators and application owners to run mixed workloads on vSAN platform. Customers can select from a broad set of configuration options at a variety of price and scale points to achieve exceptional scalability of running enterprise mission-critical mixed workloads.įigure 1 Enterprise Mixed Workloads Running on Dell EMC vSAN Ready Nodes To scale out, just add more hosts with hybrid or all ‑flash devices. Add hard drives or flash devices to increase capacity. To scale up, simply add flash devices to existing hosts for increased performance. Powered by VMware vSAN™ and VMware vSphere ®, the Ready Nodes provide a fast, easy way to extend your VMware environment. 
Based on trusted and proven PowerEdge Servers, Dell EMC vSAN Ready Nodes offer powerful processors, high core counts, maximum memory densities, lots of fast internal storage and innovative modular network interface card (NIC) technology.
The Dell EMC vSAN Ready Nodes are pre-configured building blocks, jointly tested and certified hyperconverged solution with VMware. It helps combine hardware silos, reduce deployment complexity and management difficulty, and save capital and operational expenditures. Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) makes it easier to plan for multiple enterprise workloads consolidation within several clusters. Most importantly, the infrastructure itself must be able to scale with the application consolidation yet still provide enterprise-class performance. Multiple applications need to be refreshed and published at will and should not involve multiple levels of IT administration. Customers today wanting to deploy mixed application workloads require a cost-effective, highly scalable, and an easy-to-manage solution.
