a single RAID set to be shared across the SAS fabric to multiple compute nodes as a virtualization host datastore

maximum of three HPE Synergy D3940 storage modules per frame to be used by any compute module within the management ring

any number of the drives from storage module to be mapped to any single compute node

a pair of disks to house Composer backups and Synergy firmware bundles

When powering on a virtual machine, a DRS cluster can automatically place it on the optimal host.

Selected virtual machines will be assigned higher priority when the amount of physical resources will drop below a specific level.

A DRS cluster will migrate a virtual machine to a different host when available network bandwidth will drop below a specific level.

If more than 50 virtual machines will be running on a single host, DRS cluster will configure CPU affinity to proportional resource allocation.

Use a Multimodule Link Aggregation Group (MLAG) to automate link failover

Use Composer as a PXE server to automate OS deployments

Enable all the compute nodes to boot from SD card in a server profile

Implement Image Streamer to provide a stateless OS environment

Use Powershell to automate configuration and application of server profiles
