ENTERPRISE-CLASS PERFORMANCE FOR VIRTUALIZATION AND CLOUD COMPUTING
VCE provides the most fully converged and advanced virtualized cloud infrastructure appliance in the industry. VCE has standardized on the best-in-class compute, networking, storage, and virtualization technologies. Every Vblock™ System is pre-engineered, pre-validated, and pre-tested, driving standardization from Cisco, EMC, and VMware technologies. The physical and logical builds are pre-configured to meet multiple workload processing, bandwidth, and transactional requirements. Every Vblock System base configuration is engineered for greater scalability, capacity, and performance, for ease of growth and expansion.
VCE Transforms IT and Promotes Business Innovation
VCE can uniquely optimize an infrastructure so that it can flexibly meet any processing, bandwidth, transactional, or capacity requirements while serving from one to a multitude of workloads. This approach enhances the entire infrastructure rather than attempting to individually configure and integrate layers of components or even application siloes. Through standardization, VCE is able to aggregate many of the time- and resource-consuming aspects of running a data center. IT professionals are able to spend more time and energy on supporting their clients more efficiently and responsively. VCE simplifies deployment, management and ongoing operations of the data center infrastructure, breathing new life and innovation into the enterprise business.
Converged Infrastructure Appliance
Unique to Vblock Systems is the standardization and tight integration of the compute, networking, storage, and virtualization technologies. The Vblock System architecture is a common design that streamlines deployment, operations, and systems management. This design dramatically enhances customer experiences—increasing predictability of customer projects and increasing control customers have over their infrastructure.
Each Vblock System is a truly converged infrastructure and cloud computing product that offers the following benefits:
Virtualization, Server, Storage, Networking, and Security: Each Vblock System is a standard, proven configuration of components thoroughly integrated and prequalified as a unit of converged infrastructure.
Pre-Engineered, Validated, and Physical and Logical Integration: Each Vblock System is installed, configured, and managed as a single entity rather than a disparate group of components.
Simplified Management: IT can manage Vblock Systems using standard management tools. The tools at each layer allow views of that layer’s configurations, resources, and usage.
Solutions Validation: The Vblock Systems are optimized for the applications they support. They prioritize traffic, offload network processing, and increase indexing and system cycling while ensuring the accuracy of database structures.
Roadmap Planning, Interoperability Testing, and Change Management: VCE handles all software release planning and configuration management, pre-testing upgrades, and patches to minimize any impact to system uptime and robustness.
Integrated Support: VCE serves as the single source for infrastructure support. Support engineers are experts on the entire infrastructure with direct escalation paths into engineering resources at Cisco, EMC, and VMware.
The Vblock System 300 is designed to address a wide spectrum of virtual machines (VMs), users, and applications. It is ideally suited to achieve the scale required in both private and public cloud environments. The Vblock 300 has been engineered for greater scalability and performance to support large enterprise deployments of enterprise resource planning (ERP), email and collaboration solutions. Every Vblock System 300 is available with the market-leading EMC VNX storage arrays.
