1 Executive summary

This paper provides guidance for incorporating a data center-in-a-box solution with the new Dell

EqualLogic™ PS-M4110 Blade Array, PowerConnect™ or Force10™ Blade IO Modules, and PowerEdge M-

Series blade servers to form a reliable, stable, and well performing consolidated solution. This paper

focuses on the networking recommendations for creating a self-contained, dedicated SAN network

within a single M1000 blade chassis. Additional information regarding scalable M1000 blade chassis

solutions can be found in the

links to additional resources.

This white paper is primarily intended for those who are involved in defining, implementing, or

supporting an EqualLogic storage network using the new EqualLogic PS-M4110 blade array as part of a

strategy that deploys storage with the purpose of providing data for use by the blade servers located in

the same Dell M1000e Blade Enclosure.

This document assumes the reader is familiar with EqualLogic storage operation and general networking

fundamentals as well as being familiar with the M1000e chassis architecture and its configuration.

Dell's EqualLogic product suite continues to drive innovation by delivering all the functionality and

enterprise-class features of its traditional rack-based arrays in a new blade chassis form factor product.

The newest member of the Dell EqualLogic PS Series family is the scalable and easy-to-manage Dell

EqualLogic PS-M4110 blade array designed for use with the Dell PowerEdge™ M1000e blade chassis

product.

The PS-M4110 is targeted at small to medium blade chassis customers demanding shared storage with

advanced features at lower cost and with lower space, heating, and electrical requirements than other

storage products on the market. The tight integration of PS-M4110 along with the Dell M-Series chassis

and blade servers presents some new and unique use cases for shared storage.

Of particular interest is a use case for a completely converged server, network, and storage

infrastructure called data center-in-a-box. In this deployment model, the M1000e, along with integrated

servers, networking, and shared storage, becomes a modular building block for customers wanting to

grow their infrastructure – virtual or physical – as they need additional capacity while minimizing the

data center impact in terms of power, cooling, and rack space.
