Superior performance with independent scaling of storage and compute.
Rapid deployment with pre-tested infrastructure and implementation guidance.
Reduced costs by leveraging existing Dell EMC investments for hybrid Cloud.
With Validated Designs for VCF using Dell EMC PowerStore™, PowerMax™, Unity™ XT, and PowerFlex™ , organizations can build their own hybrid cloud infrastructure, combining the best of software-defined and external storage architecture delivering a strong foundation for both traditional and cloud-native workloads. VCF supports Fiber Channel (FC) and Network File System (NFSv3) as principal storage, iSCSI/NFSv4 as supplemental storage for workload domains using PowerMax, PowerStore, and Unity XT arrays. Additionally, PowerFlex system provides a validated deployment option for workload domains as supplemental storage. These external storage options complement VCF deployments for applications with unique external storage-intensive requirements and challenges around performance and scalability.
Dell EMC PowerEdge MX and its onboard management, OpenManage Enterprise – Modular Edition, now supports interoperability with VCF based on DMTF Redfish standards. This enables organizations to rapidly provision and scale resources dynamically—composing and recomposing storage infrastructure on-the-fly, within a flexible, scalable Cloud infrastructure built on PowerEdge.
