Enterprise-Scale Advantages for Mid-Sized Data Centers

With Vblock System 200, you get a reliable, continuously available infrastructure that can more than keep pace with your increasing needs and offer a proven path to the benefits of virtualization and cloud computing.

Data Center-Class Capabilities— Vblock System 200 efficiently handles any mixed-workload requirements in a mid-sized data center. It delivers the power and capacity needed for core IT services from file, print, and domain applications to a widespread virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) or real-time collaboration solutions. Cisco UCS rack servers ensure the high availability and performance to support your missioncritical applications. In addition, EMC VNX unified storage and Fibre Channel I/O are optimized for a virtualized environment and high-bandwidth solutions such as unified communications.

Best-in-Class Components—Vblock Systems incorporate best-in-class components from category leaders Cisco, EMC, and VMware. These components are tightly integrated to ensure seamless operation and management as a single converged infrastructure—for the highest levels of virtualization and application performance.

Agility to Move Quickly—Business won’t wait today. Vblock System 200 gives you a critical competitive edge. Systems are pre-integrated, pre-tested, and validated in controlled VCE factory environments so they arrive at your loading dock within 45 days of order—and can be fully deployed in hours or days. Unlike a multi-vendor integrated system or reference architecture, the truly converged infrastructure of the Vblock System 200 provides unmatched adaptability and business value. Your IT team will spend significantly less time racking and stacking components and dealing with other time-consuming tasks, and can focus instead on applying technology to address critical business needs and identify opportunities that drive additional revenues to your business.

Clear Future Roadmap—Because of the close relationship VCE has with Cisco, EMC, and VMware, Vblock Systems remain in sync with the latest product roadmaps. Configuration management, upgrades, and planning for firmware and software releases are easily directed to ensure maximum system performance and reliability.
