Implementing SharePoint Server 2010 on Dell vStart Solution - A Reference Architecture for a
SharePoint Server 2010 farm on vStart 100 Hyper-V Solution
10
Solution architecture
As mentioned earlier and shown in Figure 1, the vStart 100m elements and architecture was leveraged
for deploying SharePoint 2010 farm. As a part of the farm architecture—described in table 1—three Dell
PowerEdge R720 servers were used as the hypervisor servers. A Dell PowerEdge R620 server was used as
a management host for managing and monitoring the vStart infrastructure.
The hardware configuration of the hypervisor servers – Dell PowerEdge R720 - is shown in Table 2.

Intel® Xeon® E5-2660 2.2GHz 8
core, 20MB L3 Cache, Turbo,
Hyper Threading
Two Intel Xeon E5-2660s are populated

NOTE: The SharePoint farm implementation requires prerequisites such as Active Directory (AD)
Domain Services (AD DS) and Domain Name Server (DNS). These components are not a part of the vStart
infrastructure and not shown in this paper as a part of the reference architecture. Customers
implementing SharePoint must have these components before starting SharePoint deployment.
The SharePoint 2010 farm server roles were implemented as virtual machines on top of the hypervisor
servers in the vStart infrastructure.
Windows Server 2008 R2 Failover clustering
feature was used with Hyper-V role to enable fault
tolerance at the server level. Cluster Shared Volumes
(CSV) is implemented on the Hyper-V cluster to
allow multiple virtual machines to access the same volume and migrate to any host in the cluster. By
using CSV, features such as Live Migration —movement of VM from one host to another without any
perceivable downtime—and VM failover were enabled to make virtual machines highly available within
the Hyper-V cluster.
The following diagram shows a high level overview of the SharePoint 2010 farm deployment on the
vStart virtualized infrastructure.
