Phone home connectivity for alert reporting and service dispatch requires Dell’s Secure Connect Gateway (deployed as either a VM or as an application on a Linux/Windows host) and configured to monitor Dell ECS Object Storage (nodes and switches). The customer is responsible for ensuring there is an ESXi environment available for this purpose. If SCG already exists on a qualified Teradata platform with access to the same network (or VLAN) that is leveraged for Dell ECS Object Storage management, this same instance of SCG can be configured to monitor Dell ECS Object Storage.
