Hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) has become the primary infrastructure for transformation, on-premises, and cloud-first applications and workloads that require Innovation, certainty and predictability. VxRail and VxRack SDDC not only enable organizations to continuously innovate and rapidly provide transparent service delivery on premises and across multi-cloud environments, but they also help achieve the promise of the Software Defined Data Center.
Why is right now the time to leverage known, trusted technologies from Dell and VMware? Here are 10 reasons why the newest releases of VxRail and VxRack SDDC are better than ever.
- Continuous innovation from the #1 HCI portfolio. With 2x the share of the nearest competitor, Dell is the global leader in converged and hyper-converged infrastructure. New innovations to VxRail and configure-to-order flexibility for VxRack SDDC bring advancements designed to accelerate and simplify the journey to a Software Defined Data Center and multi-cloud vision.*
- Validated designs accelerate SDDC deployment. VMware Validated Designs on VxRail and VMware Cloud Foundation at the core of VxRack SDDC, mean it’s easier to architect, implement and manage the complete software designed data center.
- The standard for transforming VMware environments. VxRail is the only HCI appliance jointly engineered with VMware, dramatically simplifying IT operations accelerating time to market, and delivering an incredible return on investment. VxRack SDDC accelerates the path to VMware multi-cloud by delivering an engineered system that is easy to implement and operate thanks to joint engineering and automation for the VMware software stack.
- Future-proof on-premises, cloud-ready infrastructure. With the ability to handle nearly any use case, VxRail supports predictable evolution and modernization throughout an organization’s IT transformation, while Dell’s future-proof loyalty program protects VxRail investments.
