Find Out which VxRailis right for you.
Agility is a key element to accelerating IT transformation. Hyper-converged is a key contributor to enabling agility. A recent survey by industry analyst firm ESG illustrates that the vast majority of organizations that have adopted, 87%, say that HCI has made their organization more agile. The result is they are deploying HCI for a wider variety of workloads, with most running 20% or more of their apps on HCI. Dell EMC VxRail™ accelerates and simplifies IT through standardization and automation. With VxRail, you don’t just deploy a server, you transform your infrastructure.
This data sheet highlights the features and benefits of the DellEMC VxRail Appliance.
The Dell EMC VxRail™ Appliance, the exclusive hyper-converged infrastructure appliance from Dell EMC and VMware, is the easiest and fastest way to extend and simplify a VMware environment. Powered by VMware vSANTM and managed through the vCenter interface, the Dell EMC VxRail Appliance provides existing VMware customers an experience with which they are already familiar. Seamless integration with existing VMware tools also lets customers leverage and extend their current IT tools and processes.
This Spec sheet provides the Specifications and product details for Dell EMC VxRail Appliances running on 14th generation PowerEdge servers.
This TechBook is a conceptual and architectural review of the Dell EMC VxRail Appliance, powered by VMware vSAN, and with Intel Inside®. The TechBook first describes how hyperconverged infrastructure drives digital transformation and then focuses on the VxRail Appliance as a leading hyperconverged technology solution.
For many companies the appeal of the public cloud is very real. For tech startups or established companies, cloud is an attractive option to increase IT agility while limiting risk. The idea of building-out their production capacity while possibly reducing the costs attached to that infrastructure can be attractive. For most companies the cloud isn’t an “either-or” decision, but an operating model to be evaluated along with on-site infrastructure. And like most infrastructure decisions the question of cost is certainly a consideration.
In this report we will gain insights into the value that VxRail provides for fixed and long-term workload as opposed to moving into public cloud.
