1 1.1 1.2 Introduction This guide provides Dell EMC Solutions for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI greenfield network deployment examples using Dell EMC Storage Spaces Direct Ready Nodes and Dell EMC Networking switches. S2D is included with Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Datacenter and Windows Server 2016 Datacenter editions. S2D uses locally attached drives on industry-standard servers to create highly available softwaredefined storage. S2D has two deployment options: converged and hyper-converged. In a converged deployment, storage and compute resources are in separate clusters which allow for scaling of storage and compute clusters independently from each other. A hyper-converged deployment uses one cluster for compute and storage. This allows Hyper-V virtual machines to run directly on the servers providing the storage which can simplify deployment and reduce hardware costs. This deployment guide uses a hyper-converged S2D deployment. In an S2D-enabled cluster, storage and non-storage network traffic may share the same physical network connections (a converged network), or storage traffic may be placed on dedicated physical network connections (a non-converged network). The examples in this document use a non-converged network. For more information, see the Dell EMC Solutions for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI Deployment Guide.
