Posted on May 20, 2017

The Dell EMC XC Series Web-Scale Hyper-converged appliance powered by Nutanix delivers a highly resilient, converged compute and storage platform that brings benefits of web-scale architecture to business-critical enterprise applications such as Microsoft Exchange.

Dell EMC XC Series software installs quickly for deployment of multiple virtualized workloads. The Acropolis Distributed Storage Fabric (DSF) virtualizes local storage from all nodes into a unified storage pool. A container, which is a Nutanix construct, presents this pool as shared storage resources. On top of a storage pool, an administrator can create one or more containers. Containers mount to Microsoft Hyper-V hosts in the form of Server Message Block (SMB) based file shares.

This technical whitepaper details the configuration of a simulated multi-Exchange Server 2016 workload on a representative Dell EMC XC Series cluster using SMB-based file shares in Hyper-V.  Click the link below to access the full paper.
