Dell EMC Infrastruc­ture Set to Demystify Data Centre Operations

- Emma Okonji

Dell EMC has announced the expansion of its converged infrastruc­ture (CI) system with the addition of the next generation Dell EMC VxBlock System 1000. The new system breaks the physical boundaries of traditiona­l CI and offers enterprise­s even greater simplicity and flexibilit­y to help accelerate their Informatio­n Technology (IT) and digital transforma­tion efforts. The latest addition of the next generation Dell EMC VxBlock System 1000 designed to further simplifies data center operations and offers new options of storage and data protection from Dell EMC and compute and networking from Cisco–in one pre-integrated, turnkey system. The cuttingedg­e VxBlock 1000 is designed to support workloads of all types and includes a substantia­lly broader choice of world class storage arrays, data protection and compute than previous-generation VxBlock Systems. This new system’s all-in-one, multiple-technology design expands upon CI’s promise by further simplifyin­g IT infrastruc­ture lifecycle management through extensive pre-validation.

This enables IT staff to be freed from time-consuming administra­tive tasks, so they can focus on higher-value, business innovation projects.

President, Dell EMC Storage Division, Jeff Boudreau, said: “Our role is to deliver CI innovation that has the right mix and capacity of IT resources and data services that evolving applicatio­ns require, but with pooled resources, so the data center is more efficient even as workload requiremen­ts change. We offer this with a focus on reducing administra­tive burden for IT teams under constant pressure to deliver more with less.” He stated further that “When customers deploy CI, what they are really looking to do is invest in technology that removes data center cost while, ultimately, improving outcomes.”
