Dell Virtual SAN Network Attached Storage Device With Scale - Out Architecture

Dell Virtual SAN Ready Nodes

Hyper-converged infrastructure for VMware Virtual SAN

With Dell Virtual SAN Ready Nodes, you can maximize your choices, reduce project risk, and reduce the total cost of ownership for software-defined storage. These proven configurations have the following advantages:

Packages various Dell hardware and VMware Virtual SAN software into an order-ready package
Speed ​​up value realization
Supports you to create the ideal configuration for your workload
Simplify deployment with optional factory-installed services

The installation and deployment process of VMware Virtual SAN nodes can be time consuming and risky. It is especially important to have all the details, including firmware levels and configuration settings. The Dell Virtual SAN Ready Nodes factory installation service allows you to stay away from errors when you first start up, without having to spend your time on system configuration and focus on the project. Deployment is thus a breeze, which can be attributed to:

Firmware level configured correctly in advance
Pre-installed various software versions for all components
Your configuration can be added to the Virtual SAN cluster at any time
Choose the right configuration for your workload
Choose the right configuration for your workload

Not all workload resource requirements are the same, so to get the right solution, you need to choose a configuration. Dell offers a variety of order-ready platform options and a selection of factory pre-installed configurations such as:

Value-optimized configuration for smaller projects with fine-grained expansion
Storage density configuration to maximize storage capacity growth
Calculate density configuration for more computationally intensive workloads

Some configurations also include available GPU support for graphics-intensive virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) projects.
Lower total cost of ownership
Lower total cost of ownership

Dell Virtual SAN Ready Nodes help reduce capital and operating costs, thereby reducing total cost of ownership. Minimize capital expenditures because you have the flexibility to reduce downfront costs and expand only when necessary. You can also reduce management overhead by reducing interfaces, reducing task completion steps, and lowering professional requirements.

Start with small scale with a scale-out architecture and scale only when necessary
Simplify management and operations with a hyper-converged infrastructure
Simplify management processes with integrated hardware and software management capabilities
