    Introduction Dell EMC Isilon is the leading scale-out network-attached storage (NAS) platform and offers the right blend of performance and capacity to support a wide range of unstructured data workloads including high-performance computing (HPC), file shares, home directories, archives, media content, video surveillance, and in-place data analytics.
  • Page 6 The Dell EMC S4048-ON will be used as leaf switches, and the Dell EMC Z9100-ON will be used in this guide as a spine switch. The Dell EMC S3048-ON will be used as a management switch for the iDRAC connections, out-of-band switch management, as well as the external Isilon connections.

    Configuring each leaf pair in a Virtual Link Trunking (VLT). • Dell EMC recommends that RSTP always is configured as a best practice. Although configuring VLT will create a loop free topology, RSTP will prevent loops if there is a misconfiguration in the network.

  • Page 13: Scaling

    0.950 : 1 Scaling An example of scaling this solution in a two-tier leaf-spine is a configuration of up to 16 racks. The Dell/EMC Z9100-ON has thirty-two 40/100GbE interfaces that would support 16 leaf pairs using VLT. This provides one rack that contains WAN-edge connectivity and 15 racks for servers and storage nodes.
