We use Dell VPLEX for backend connectivity within the storage. We also use it when we want to manage redundancy for any storage.

Dell VPLEX is a front-end appliance that connects to the backend fabric switches. The primary purpose is to abstract physical storage into virtual storage. You have high-end or mid-range physical storage from HP, Dell EMC, IBM, etc., and VPLEX virtual appliances are an intermediary between the storage and the whole. VPLEX consolidates multiple kinds of storage into one and creates availability for a higher level of storage. There are two redundant paths between the server and the storage appliances, and we need two MDS switches for them. One is the Dell Fabric switch, which fulfills our requirements for redundancy, and the second is a load balancer. The best practice in any small environment is to use two MDS switches to connect the host and storage, whether you use VPLEX virtualization or not.

We use VPLEX on all of our net production machines — integration, migration, development. VPLEX is our main storage solution for our architecture. We have a lot of machines on it. We also use VPLEX on our virtual cluster. Our company has roughly 15,000 employees. Currently, we have eight VPLEX clusters. We have moved all of our architecture onto VPLEX.
