VX deployment architecture
When deploying a ThinkAgile VX MT 7Z12 and 7Z13 Series solution, the best practice is to use three or more
servers of the same machine type and configuration to provide a balanced and high-performance solution.
The systems are connected through switches for management and data:
• A dedicated management network is used by the Lenovo XClarity Administrator to communicate with the
Lenovo XClarity Controller (XCC) on each of the ThinkAgile VX7820 Appliance/VX 4U Certified Node.
• A redundant 10Gbps Ethernet network is used for VMware vSphere management and vSAN data traffic.
The redundant Ethernet network is implemented through two top-of-rack switches, such as the Lenovo
ThinkSystem NE1032 RackSwitch.
