The Dell Validated Design for Energy Edge provides both business continuity and data loss prevention if a disaster occurs. By consolidating most ISV application services on a resilient VMware infrastructure, we provide a single dashboard for managing a successful disaster recovery (DR) solution. VMware simplifies the infrastructure stack by allowing compute, network, and storage resources to be managed as a single, shared pool. It provides a simple, scale-out architecture, leveraging vSphere and vSAN to provide server virtualization and software-defined storage, with simplified deployment, upgrades, and maintenance through vSphere vCenter.
