Solution overview

  • The Horizon 7 virtual workstation solution running on the MX7000 modular environment combines the performance of Intel Xeon Scalable processors from MX7000 blade servers and the powerful graphics acceleration enabled by Amulet Hotkey CoreModules equipped with NVIDIA T4 GPUs. The solution offers excellent performance for the graphics-intensive applications that are used in the MEG industry. 3D modeling applications benefit from the high-performing CPU and GPU cores in this solution. The latest version of these applications comes with advanced rendering engines capable of using both CPUs and GPUs for rendering.

    The Dell EMC PowerEdge MX7000 Modular Infrastructure is built for use in a software-defined data center. Dell EMC PowerEdge MX7000, with its new kinetic infrastructure technology, provides better resource granularity, agile management, and future-proof capabilities than traditional high-density blade servers. It is a high performance, modular infrastructure that enables customers to flexibly configure and optimize their IT infrastructure for a wide variety of traditional, new, and emerging workloads. Customers can run a VDI workload in an MX7000 modular environment along with a wide variety of other workloads to benefit from the agility, flexibility, and scalability offered by this platform.

    The PowerEdge MX7000 modular chassis is optimized for VMware vSAN software-defined storage environments and combines easy management with better capacity and performance for VDI workloads. It provides highly scalable, direct-attached storage capabilities housing up to 112 HDD/SDD drives per chassis in addition to six internal compute sled HDD/SDD drives. The Dell EMC OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter (OMIVV) streamlines the management processes in your data center by allowing you to use VMware vCenter for managing your PowerEdge server infrastructure.
