PRODUCT OVERVIEW Dell EMC VxBlock System DELL EMC VXBLOCK AND VBLOCK SYSTEMS #1 Converged System* POWERING THE MODERN DATA CENTER Dell EMC Converged Systems hAve helped thousAnds of global enterprise customers transform their IT environments to become more agile, reliable, and cost-effective. Dell EMC Converged Systems integrAte enterprise-clAss technologies—including compute, network, storAge, virtuAlization, and management—into one engineered system, thAt is engineered, manufactured, manAged, supported, and sustained as one. These systems eliminate the slow, complex, and costly process of procuring, Assembling, and the on-going maintenAnce of trAditionAl in-house integrAtion approAches. DELL EMC CONVERGED SYSTEMS OVERVIEW Dell EMC VxBlock And Vblock Systems deliver simple IT solutions for A broAd rAnge of use cAses, significantly reducing costs, time-to-deploy, and on-going management/mAintenAnce-time, enabling your IT staff to spend more time focused on business outcomes and on new initiatives thAn on mAnAging the IT infrAstructure and keeping the lights on. Dell EMC Vblock System UnsurpAssed Simplicity VxBlock And Vblock Systems bring together technologies from leAders like Dell EMC, Cisco, VMwAre, And more. All system elements Are pre-integrAted, pre-configured, then tested And validAted before shipping. SeAmless integrAtion Allows you to operAte And mAnAge your system As a single product, rather than As individuAl, siloed components. On-going, component-level testing, and qualification result in drastically simplified updates and maintenances. The end result is significant time And resource savings throughout the systems life cycle. All FlAsh VxBlock and Vblock Systems enable you to create a modern data center with all-flash storAge, including Dell EMC Unity, XtremIO, and VMAX options. All-flash VxBlock and Vblock Systems are ideAl for mixed-workloAd consolidAtion, ApplicAtions thAt require extreme performAnce And scAle, mission-critical Applications, And where you Are looking for the highest storAge density At the lowest operAtionAl total cost of ownership (TCO). StreAmlined Deployment With multivendor solutions And reference Architectures, considerAble time And resources Are devoted to sourcing, integrating, testing, validating, and on-going maintenance. VxBlock and Vblock Systems cAn be delivered within 60 dAys of order—for the fastest time-to-value. * Source: IDC Tracker, “Worldwide QuArterly Converged Systems Tracker” December 2016 PRODUCT OVERVIEW System SustAinAbility #1 FOR A REASON Rely on the Dell EMC ReleAse CertificAtion MAtrix (RCM) to streAmline software releAse plAnning Delivering real business results and on-going configuration management across all converged infrastructure components.
