This document outlines the reference architecture for a Private Cloud using VMware® Cloud Foundation™ on Lenovo ThinkAgile VX Hyperconverged series servers. It offers a turnkey private cloud solution, combining Lenovo hardware, VMware software with Lenovo XClarity integration, and VMware® Aria Suite™ to provide customers with an automated hyperconverged infrastructure with easy management. This document serves as a starting point for the different components and hardware configurations available to the customer.
This reference architecture is intended for IT professionals with varying levels of VMware expertise who are responsible for designing & implementing VMware-based Software-Defined Data Centers (SDDCs) in their private environment. The audience will benefit from having a base understanding of the VMware SDDC stack, including VMware® vCenter®, VMware® ESXi™, VMware® vSAN™, VMware NSX®, as well as familiarity with the VMware Aria Suite. While some exposure to Lenovo's tools such as XClarity Controller, XClarity Administrator, or XClarity Integrator can be helpful, it is not a prerequisite for understanding and utilizing this reference architecture document.
The accompanying deployment guide is specifically created to assist users in navigating the deployment process,
providing step-by-step instructions and guidance. It aims to bridge any knowledge gaps by offering clear explanations and illustrations, making it easier for users to implement the hybrid cloud solution using Lenovo ThinkAgile VX servers.
