Dell EMC VxRail

Designed for VMware, with VMware, to enhance VMware

Dell EMC VxRail™, the jointly engineered hyperconverged infrastructure from Dell EMC and VMware, is the easiest and

fastest way to extend a VMware environment. Powered by VMware vSAN

and managed through the VMware vCenter

interface, the VxRail provides existing VMware customers a consistent operating experience. As the foundation for Dell

Technologies Cloud, VxRail is the first hyperconverged system fully integrated with VMware Cloud Foundation SDDC

Manager delivering one, complete, automated platform.

VxRail is a distributed system consisting of common modular building blocks powered by the best in class VxRail HCI

System Software that allows customers to start small and grow, scaling capacity and performance easily and non-

disruptively from 3 to 64 nodes in a cluster. For edge deployments, users can choose a fixed two-node cluster or a three-

node cluster if they desire future node expandability. Single-node scaling and storage capacity expansion provide a

simple, predictable, cost effective “pay-as-you-grow” approach for future growth as needed.

VxRail HCI System Software ensures workloads are always up and running with intelligent lifecycle management (LCM)

that automates non-disruptive upgrades, patches, node additions or retirement to ensure the VxRail infrastructure is in a

continuously validated state. Coupled with detailed health reporting using infrastructure machine learning from SaaS

multi-cluster management, it has never been easier to keep infrastructure smoothly running.

Built on PowerEdge servers. With a choice of 2

Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable or 2

Generation AMD EPYC™

processors, VxRail is designed for today’s mission-critical workloads in mind, and also delivers multiple compute,

memory, storage, network and graphics options to cover a wide variety of applications and workloads. VxRail continuously

delivers new technologies such as Intel Optane persistent memory, NVMe cache and capacity drives, 100 Gb/s

networking, and NVIDIA Quadro GPUs. With redundancy built in at every opportunity; from the SATA M.2 RAID 1

“BOSS”, high-efficiency redundant power supplies and multiple networking ports.

VxRail comes stacked with mission-critical data services at no additional charge. Data protection technology such as a

starter set of licenses for Dell EMC RecoverPoint for VMs is included, with the option of adding Data Protection Suite for

VMware and Data Domain Virtual Edition (DD VE) for larger environments that require more comprehensive data

protection.

VxRail is also backed by Dell EMC’s world-class support with a single point of contact for both hardware and software and

includes Dell EMC SRS for call-home and proactive two-way remote connection for remote monitoring, diagnosis, and

repair to ensure maximum availability.

The VxRail portfolio includes:

E Series: Go Everywhere 1U/1Node with an all NVMe option and T4 GPUs for a wide range of use cases including

artificial intelligence and machine learning. Also available in a single socket server powered by 2

Generation AMD

EPYC™ processor with up to 64 cores.

P Series: Performance intensive 2U/1Node platform with an all NVMe option, configurable with 1,2 or 4 Intel Xeon

Scalable processors, or a single 2

Gen AMD EPYC processor with up to 64 cores.

V Series: VDI-optimized 2U/1Node platform with GPU hardware for graphics-intensive desktops and workloads

D Series: Durable, ruggedized, short depth. Designed to withstand extreme conditions such as intense heat and cold,

shock, vibration, dust, humidity, and EMI. Available in MIL-STD and DNV-GL Maritime certified configurations.

S Series: Storage dense 2U/1Node platform for demanding applications such as virtualized Microsoft SharePoint,

Microsoft Exchange, big data, analytics, and video surveillance.

G Series: Compute dense 2U/4Node platforms for general purpose workloads.
