Dell DX Object Storage – File Gateway Architectural Reference

Other hardware

The following briefly describes the hardware components that are required to work as part of DX

Object Storage Gateway solutions. They may already be present in the customer environment, or

ordered as part of the solution.

Network Switch(es) – Configuring the solution requires extensive knowledge of how the

customer uses switches to segment VLANs. Some customers may run each VLAN through a

separate switch, and some may segment a switch for multiple VLANs.

Application Server(s) – These servers write data to the spool cache storage in the Gateway

solution. In a non-gateway DX Object Storage solution, they write directly to the storage nodes.

Domain Controller – This server manages logins, authentication, groups and permissions.

Domain controller information is an essential part of setting up a gateway solution.

Software

The following briefly describes the standard software components for DX Object Storage Gateway

solutions.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux – This is the operating system that resides on the Cluster Services

Node and the CFS Server. Different versions may run on the CFS Server and the CSN. See the

interoperability matrix for information about versions.

CFS – This is the software on the CFS Server that presents Dell DX Object Storage to clients as a

common file system.

Cluster Services – These services reside on the CSN and enable you to configure the CSN,

define user access, set parameters for backup and restore, and define SCSP Proxy settings.

Content Storage – These services reside on the CSN and enable you to define properties,

licensing, and user access for the whole cluster.

Content Router – These services provide replication of content between remote clusters and

enumeration of DX Object Storage content for other purposes like search indexing or virus

scanning. Content Router is not required if the cluster is not replicating to a remote cluster.
