Physical Switch Requirement Changes for Azure Stack HCI
Introduction
Microsoft Azure Stack HCI is a cloud-inspired hyperconverged infrastructure solution that offers customers a hybrid cloud solution with the scalability, performance, security, and cost-effectiveness of a hyperconverged infrastructure. In order to ensure seamless integration with Azure, Microsoft has recently made changes to the physical switch requirements for Azure Stack HCI. This blog post will explain the changes and the implications for users.
Changes to Physical Switch Requirements
Microsoft has recently updated the physical switch requirements for Azure Stack HCI. The new requirements are as follows:
* Switches must be from a supported vendor, such as Cisco, Dell, HPE, Juniper, or Arista.
* Switches must be 100GB or higher.
* Switches must support the latest version of Microsoft Network Controller.
Implications of the Changes
The new switch requirements have several implications for users. First, users will need to ensure that they have switches from a supported vendor. This may require purchasing new switches, or updating existing switches. Second, users may need to upgrade their switches to ensure they meet the minimum speed requirement of 100GB. Finally, users will need to ensure that their switches are running the latest version of Microsoft Network Controller, as this is required for Azure Stack HCI.
Conclusion
Microsoft has recently updated the physical switch requirements for Azure Stack HCI. The new requirements include switches from a supported vendor, with a minimum speed of 100GB, and which support the latest version of Microsoft Network Controller. These changes have several implications for users, including the need to purchase or upgrade switches, and the need to ensure that their switches are running the latest version of Microsoft Network Controller.
