Are You Ready to Bundle?

By   |  

At VMworld US, we talked to many customers, partners and other attendees about some exciting new advancements to our Ready Bundle for Virtualization. Version 2.0 of this powerful solution includes compelling features and benefits, delivering greater flexibility, confidence and time to value.

We are also excited to announce that the Ready Bundle is now VMware Validated Design (VVD) certified. This makes it easier than ever for customers to build a private cloud solution following prescriptions for deployment, operation and updates. Learn more by visiting the VMware Compatibility Guide.

The Ready Bundle includes the newly designed, 14th generation of Dell’s PowerEdge server portfolio, giving you a secure, scalable compute platform ideal for cloud, analytics or software-defined data center initiatives.

According to Michelle Bailey, Chief Research Officer at 451 Research, “The next transition in enterprise architecture will increasingly be built on flexible hyper-converged infrastructures, those that simplify procurement and ongoing operations with a single supplier, lowering risks of implementation while helping speed time to delivery. Dell’s new generation of servers is geared toward addressing many of these issues with intelligent management and automation capabilities.”[1]

Storage also gets an upgrade in our Ready Bundle update, so customers can get exactly what they need for your specific application requirements. They can now choose all-flash from our Unity Storage portfolio to suit their performance, capacity and cost parameters.
