Switching and server equipment

Switching equipment

As a switching solution, any modern Enterprise-class switches can be selected to interconnect all resources, such as:

Cisco Nexus 3524X
Extreme Networks X590-24x-1q-2c
Huawei CloudEngine S6730-H24X6C
Juniper EX4600-40F-AFI
Eltex MES5448

Network structure

No less than two switches supporting tagged vlan + LACP/vpc, total number of ports in switch = number of nodes in cluster * 4

Server hardware

The vStack cluster nodes can be any modern x86 servers with four or more Intel processors.
