VxRail is at the forefront of a shift in IT infrastructure that moves away from application-specific, build-your-own infrastructure and toward virtualized, general-purpose, engineered systems. Dell Technologies and VMware have embraced this shift with the VxRail hyperconverged appliance. VxRail has a simple, scale-out architecture that uses VMware vSphere and VMware vSAN to provide server virtualization and software-defined storage.
