PowerM Solution : DELL Technologies VxBlock Systems<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]
1. Converged Infrastructure Features<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n\n- Simplified IT:<\/strong>\u00a0The VxBlock simplifies all aspects of IT by seamlessly integrated all the compute, network, storage, and data protection technologies, you need, into One Engineered System – it\u2019s like a complete \u201cdatacenter-in-a-box\u201d. All VxBlock are engineered, manufactured, managed, supported and sustained as one turnkey solution, offloading the complexities and risks associated with managing enterprise-grade datacenter infrastructure so that IT teams can confidently focus on higher-value projects\/tasks.<\/li>\n
- Lifecycle assurance :<\/strong>Dell EMC validates interoperability of components and provides a predictable system maintenance process that improves availability and productivity. Dell EMC has done all the heavy lifting so that you can enjoy a faster, simpler and less risky lifecycle assurance approach than trying to do it yourself.<\/li>\n
- Improved data center efficiency:<\/strong>\u00a0Eliminating islands of resources or stranded capacity is a sure way to improve resource utilization and improve your Return-on-Investment (ROI). The VxBlock allows you to POOL and SHARE your resources to maximize your asset utilization rates.<\/li>\n
- Reduced downtime :<\/strong>\u00a0Dell EMC has built and deployed thousands for CI systems. All VxBlock systems are engineered and manufactured as a turnkey system. They use industry leading technologies, they are built based on best practices and are all factory tested. Customers who have deployed VxBlock Systems experience less unplanned downtime: fewer unplanned outages per year, less mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) and fewer hours of lost productivity due to outages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
\n- Operational simplicity:<\/strong> The VxBlock is a fully integrated, fully tested, turnkey solution that delivers an engineered system experience\u00a0with a simplified lifecycle assurance. With native support for mixed technologies resulting in less cabinets, LAN and SAN switches, power supplies and system management hardware and software.<\/li>\n
- Faster deployment:<\/strong> Dell EMC does all the interoperability testing and qualification of all the components that make up a VxBlock.Every VxBlock is customer configured and built to meet your unique environment. Every system is also factory tested based on the best practices gained from deploying thousands of Dell EMC CI systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n2. VCE Vision Intelligent Operations<\/h4>\n
VCE Vision Intelligent Operations is software that comes embedded in VCE converged and hyper-converged systems to provide health and life cycle management. The software delivers information that enables organizations to easily maintain a healthy and up-to-date environment that is fully optimized and secure. VCE Vision operates in three key areas:<\/p>\n
\n- Converged Health Management \u2013<\/strong> Reports and visualizes the health of VCE converged and hyper-converged systems, including the current state of each component (compute, network, storage, and virtualization). The intelligence of the software, which visualizes system inventory and relationships, including workloads and their underlying infrastructure, enables faster root cause analysis as well as more proactive performance and capacity management.<\/li>\n
- Release Certification Matrix (RCM) Compliance Management<\/strong> \u2013 Simplifies the upgrade process of VCE converged and hyper- converged systems by automating and eliminating common steps of the infrastructure firmware and software upgrade process. VCE Vision software runs compliance assessments on the systems to identify where updates are needed, provides direct access to updates (i.e., new RCMs and patches) housed on VCE\u2019s customer support website, and downloads only the updates that are required.<\/li>\n
- Security Compliance Management \u2013<\/strong> Maintains and automates the steps required to ensure that components\u2019 security is hardened and aligned to vendor and industry best practices. Security alerts, software patches, and knowledge-base articles are centrally located at VCE\u2019s support site, which help address specific component vulnerabilities. VCE Vision software assesses components\u2019 settings, reports when components fall out of security policy compliance, and provides guidance to reconfigure components, as well as patches and upgrades, to maintain a high security posture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
