Page 3

1 Introduction

Dell™ Active Infrastructure is a family of converged infrastructure solutions that combine servers,

storage, networking, and infrastructure management into an integrated and optimized system that

provides general purpose virtualized resource pools. Active Infrastructure leverages Dell innovations

including unified management (Active System Manager), LAN/SAN network best practices, and modular

server architecture for the ultimate infrastructure solution. Active Infrastructure helps IT rapidly

respond to dynamic business demands, maximize data center efficiency, and strengthen IT service

quality.

The Active System 1000 solution, a member of Dell Active Infrastructure family, is an infrastructure

solution that has been designed and validated by Dell Engineering. It is available to be racked, cabled,

and delivered to your site to speed deployment. Dell Services will deploy and configure the solution

tailored for business needs, so that the solution is ready to be integrated into your datacenter. Active

System 1000 is offered in configurations with either VMware® vSphere® (Active System 1000v) or

Microsoft® Windows Server® 2012 with Hyper-V® role enabled (Active System 1000m) hypervisors. This

paper defines the Reference Architecture for the VMware vSphere-based Active System 1000v solution.

Active System 1000v includes Dell PowerEdge™ M1000e blade chassis with Dell I/O modules (Dell

PowerEdge™ M I/O Aggregator or Dell Networking MXL switch), Dell PowerEdge™ M620 blades, Dell

Compellent™ Storage, Dell Networking network switches, Brocade Fibre Channel switches, and VMware

vSphere 5.1 Update 1. The solution also includes Dell PowerEdge™ R620 servers as management

servers. Dell Active System Manager, VMware vCenter Server, Compellent Enterprise Manager, and Dell

OpenManage™ Essentials are included with the solution.

Dell Active System Manager is the Active Infrastructure management software, a key component of the

Active System 1000v. Active System Manager streamlines physical and virtual workload provisioning

through automation and standardization. Through capabilities, such as template-based provisioning,

end-to-end automation, workflow orchestration and resource pooling, Active System Manager enables

IT to respond rapidly to business needs, maximize data center efficiency, and strengthen quality of IT

service delivery. In Active System 1000v, the Dell Active System Manager virtual appliance is deployed

within the management cluster. Templates can be used to deploy the compute clusters.
