The equipment being required is a Nimble array, two Cisco 10G iSCSI
switches, two 10G SFP+ cards, and associated twin-ax cabling.
(Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash HF-Series HF20 - HF20-2P-21T-K and Cisco SG350XG-24F-K9-NA 24-Port 10G SFP+ ).
The HPE Nimble HF20 gives the ability to perform storage-based snapshots of the range, allowing an entire rollback and reset of the scenario. This is the same technology used by the commercial vendor that executes the range for Exercise Cyber Yankee and Cyber Shield.
Needs these Features
Adaptive hybrid array with flash caching, utilizing snapshot-based storage protection technology, able to present storage via 10G iSCSI, with direct ESXi/vCenter 6.5 plug-in compatibility, and advanced analytics via InfoSight. Additionally, two layer 2 10G SFP+ switches compatible with twin-ax cabling, as well as two twin port 10G SFP+ cards compatible with a Dell Poweredge M630, are required to present iSCSI LUNs on redundant fabrics.
Must be compatible with existing Dell VRTX servers.
