    PLATFORM OVERVIEW
    •  

      Reduce operational complexity

      VMware Cloud on Dell EMC delivers the VMware SDDC platform—including VMware vSphere®, VMware vSAN®, and VMware NSX® virtualization technologies—and integrates with Dell EMC VxRail hyperconverged infrastructure.

      Within the VMware Cloud Services portal, you can select the rack size and number of host instances, and configure network requirements to meet your exact specifications.

      The VxRail appliance architecture enables you to start small and grow, scaling capacity and performance easily and non-disruptively from 3 to 24 nodes.
