Easy to deploy, support and scale

Consolidate computing and storage into a single chassis with Dell XC Series network-level converged devices powered by Nutanix software. XC Series appliances can be quickly installed and easily integrated into any data center and can be deployed for a variety of virtualized workloads, including desktop virtualization, databases, and private cloud projects. With Dell XC Series appliances, your business can:

Step-by-step expansion with "buy on demand, incremental expansion"
Increase capacity and performance on a node-by-node basis
Meet future needs while avoiding over-provisioning
Reduce IT infrastructure costs, including maintenance, facilities, power, software licensing, server, storage, and network hardware costs, up to 31%
Dell XC Series - Simplify and optimize IT
Simplify and optimize IT

With XC network-class devices, IT administrators can manage virtual environments at the virtual machine level using policies based on various workload demands, rather than managing individual LUNs, volumes, or RAID groups. In addition, because Acropolis and Prism can run on every device, regular and solid-state drives provide thin provisioning, automatic compression, and deduplication across all nodes, increasing the effective storage capacity. This balanced, modular architecture delivers uninterrupted performance and capacity, enabling the environment to adapt to changing dynamic demands quickly and easily.
Based on proven technology

The Dell XC Converged Appliance is based on the proven PowerEdge 13th generation server platform and combines advanced software technologies that support leading network-level infrastructure and cloud infrastructure. These 1U and 2U devices are backed by Dell's global service and support. They are pre-configured to accommodate specific virtualized workloads. It is carefully designed to help you maintain data availability in the event of node and disk failures.
