With VMware Explore 2022 underway, we are pleased to provide more depth on how VxRail helps customers realize their multicloud reality. VxRail continues to be the only jointly engineered HCI system built for VMware, with VMware to enhance the VMware experience. According to IDC, Dell HCI has led the HCI systems market for 20 consecutive quarters, in great part due to the success of VxRail. In six short years, we have over 19,000 customers and have deployed almost 250,000 nodes.
The VxRail advantage, our VxRail HCI System Software automated lifecycle management, provides a common operational model from core to edge to cloud. Our VxRail team conducts over 800,000 hours of automated and human testing for each major release of VxRail. Why make that investment? To simplify technology adoption for our customers. At a recent customer forum, we surveyed attendees asking “Does VxRail HCI System Software simplify technology adoption?” Every customer responded “yes”.
We continue helping customers simplify technology adoption with new innovations that enable customers to accelerate breakthroughs, thrive at the edge and realize their multicloud reality.
Redefining the Infrastructure of the Future
In accordance with our 30-day synchronous release commitment, VxRail will support VMware vSphere 8, VMware vSAN 8 and VMware Cloud Foundation 4.5. One of the most anticipated new features is vSphere 8 on Data Processing Units (DPUs), previously known as Project Monterey.
VMware vSphere 8 on DPUs improves performance and security posture by offloading network infrastructure services to the DPU. Our initial offering of DPUs is on VxRail and takes advantage of a new element of ESXi (vSphere Distributed Services Engine), moving network and security services to the DPU.
◉ The industry’s first and only jointly engineered hyperconverged system running vSphere Distributed Service Engine (DSE) on DPUs
◉ A seamless customer lifecycle management experience with VxRail HCI System Software, automating every phase of the upgrade path including the VMware ecosystem and the new DPUs
The Next Evolution of vSAN and vSphere on VxRail
Another highly anticipated feature is vSAN 8.0 Express Storage Architecture, the industry’s first single-tier HCI storage solution that delivers optimized performance, greater efficiency and resilience. We introduced all NVMe VxRail models optimized for vSAN Express Storage Architecture, increasing performance by up to 4x, enabling users to run more high-performance applications in VxRail environments while maintaining the consistent, automated operational model.
◉ Automated lifecycle management of new vSAN Express Storage Architecture
◉ Easily add new vSAN ESA NVME cluster configurations to existing VxRail environments
◉ Simplify with a common operational model for traditional vSAN and vSAN Express Storage Architecture
Ultimate Compute and Storage Flexibility
When it comes to businesses and IT, one size does not fit all. For applications that need ultimate storage and compute flexibility, the new VxRail Dynamic AppsON enables connectivity between VxRail dynamic nodes and PowerStore storage appliances so users can scale compute and storage independently. The key new element to this announcement is the planned addition of PowerStore OS to the end-to-end, automated lifecycle management enabled by the VxRail HCI System Software.
◉ Scale compute and storage separately as business demands
◉ Consolidate to a single interface with native integration of VxRail HCI and PowerStore storage management in vCenter
◉ Automate lifecycle management of PowerStore OS via the VxRail HCI System Software
Thrive at the Edge with VxRail
Taking advantage of opportunities near to where data is created generates immediate, essential value. We are pleased to announce new VxRail edge nodes in the smallest, most flexible, and self-contained form factor ever. VxRail modular nodes will be the industry’s first and only vSAN HCI system utilizing a built in and purpose-built hardware witness for 2-node clusters enabling deployment in high latency, low bandwidth locations. Additional innovations include:
◉ Ruggedized, modular, half width blades can be racked, stacked, or mounted
◉ Scale with your business requirements from 2-64 nodes
◉ Extend VMware benefits to the edge with a common operational model
Bringing These Innovations to Market
As with all our VxRail innovations, we hope one common theme stands out – VxRail is designed to simplify the adoption of new technology. Please stop by our booth (902) at VMware Explore this week to learn more. We have some exciting virtual reality experiences featuring some of our key VxRail customers including Top Golf, New Belgium Brewing and Mercy Ships. Experts will also be on hand to answer your questions. If you are not at the show, we invite you to drop by our VxRail Expect Exceptional page to learn more about how VxRail delivers a future where anything is possible.
