L2 switch

• Configured at Cluster-level. Connected to hosts for better performance

• Stores all disk volumes for VMs in a cluster• Cluster can have one or more primary storages• Local disk, iSCSI, FC, FCOE or NFS

Primary Storage

• Configured at Zone or Region• Stores all Templates, ISOs and Volume Snapshots• Zone or Region can have one or more secondary

storages• NFS, S3 API compatible block storage• NFS can be configured to be delivered via a dedicated

Storage Performance FlexibilityPrimary storage configuration

Support for different storage performance tiers

Flexibility over disk sizing

Provision either local or shared storage

Governance for control of access and consumption

Cloud Networking

© 2014 Citrix. Confidential.15

Basic (Layer 3) vs. Advanced (Layer 2) NetworkingSegmentation based on feature set and ease-of-deployment

Basic: true AWS-style L3 isolation• Tenants do not get contiguous IP addresses• Network segmentation based on Security Groups• Tremendous scale (tens of thousands)• XenServer and KVM only

Advanced: offers full L2 subnets• VLANs subject to default implementation (4K limit)• More features (source NAT, PF, VPN)

Layer-2 Layer-3Isolation VLAN Security Groups

(XenServer only)

Performance Better Better

Network setup Moderate Easy

Support broadcast Yes No

Scalability Good Best

Interoperability with external resources

Good Poor
