6 Network Virtualization with Dell Infrastructure and VMware NSX | Version 1.2

To stay concise and focused on the application of network

virtualization, this whitepaper will focus on solution #1: Dell

Infrastructure with VMware NSX-vSphere. Solution #2:

Dell Infrastructure with VMware NSX-MH is a viable option

for those who have multi-hypervisor environments or desire

to leverage hardware-based NSX L2 Gateway.

For specific installation requirements and detailed deployment steps please see the Dell Infrastructure with

VMware NSX Deployment Guide.

3 Dell Open Networking Differentiators

Dell believes in an open model for networking and solutions. Thus, Dell offers customers choice of OS on

supported Dell Networking switches like the Dell S4810 and Dell S6000. Customers can choose either the

typical robust, feature-full Dell Networking Operating System or Cumulus Linux. Both Dell and Cumulus

operating systems are supported within a Dell VMware NSX solution.

Cumulus is a Linux software distribution that runs on Dell Networking hardware to allow for ease of

integration in a Linux environment, use of Linux applications and automation tools, and an open source

approach to networking applications.

The Dell Networking Operating System is a resilient, hardened OS and proven in the industry. Dell

continues to innovate and incorporate the latest technology demands by customers into its products.

Some of these technologies include but are not limited to:

 Data Center Bridging provides a lossless fabric for a converged LAN/SAN network

 VRF-lite provides for mult-tenancy and use of overlapping IP addresses at the switch level

 Virtual Link Trunking (VLT) for Active-Active links from a server/switch to two different switches

 VXLAN protocol support for creating logical network overlays

 Hardware-based NSX L2 Gateway support for bridging between logical and physical networks

 OpenFlow protocol support for OpenFlow based SDN solutions

Additionally, Dell provides a complete end-to-end infrastructure whether converged or non-converged

and allows for the management of such infrastructure with Dell Active Fabric Manager (AFM) and Dell

OpenManage Network Manager (OMNM).

Dell OMNM automates labor-intensive tasks while monitoring and managing Dell network switches. Dell

AFM provides simplified configuration, management and monitoring of Dell networking components.

Starting with AFM 2.0, Dell introduced the command line interface functionality for VMware vSphere

Distributed Switch (VDS). Users can now access and view VDS information from the AFM CLI; with this

functionality, Dell is helping bridge visibility between the virtual and physical environments.
