Design guide introduction

  • Dell Technologies offers comprehensive, flexible, and efficient VDI solutions that are designed and optimized for your organization, which makes Dell VDI solutions easy to plan, deploy, and run.

    vSAN Ready Nodes are one solution that uses VMware vSAN technology to help you start or extend your data center. This solution does not include the software components that are found in the VxRail product. However, vSAN Ready Nodes offer a greater array of platforms, configurations, and additional peripheral device choices.

    Dell Validated Designs for VDI offer several key benefits:

    • Predictable costs, performance, and scalability to support a growing workforce—The cost of deploying applications and desktops is reduced when deploying from a data center.
    • Rapid deployments—Dell Validated Designs for VDI offer rapid automated deployment at the infrastructure layer through Dell Services.
    • Rapid scaling to serve enterprises of any size—Scale rapidly with workload-specific configurations per platform. The solution is scalable up to 64 nodes per cluster, supporting thousands of virtual machines (VMs). Continue scaling with pod architecture and by combining multiple clusters.
    • Dell Technologies support—Dell Validated Designs for VDI are tested and validated engineering systems for VDI and its related tools. Deployment services provide installation of this turnkey VDI appliance to ensure a rapid deployment with linear and predictable scalability.
    • User experience—NVIDIA virtual GPU technology brings the power of NVIDIA GPUs to virtual desktops, apps, and workstations, accelerating graphics and compute to enable virtualized workspaces to perform just like physical PCs. This means that users working from home offices or anywhere can have a consistently excellent user experience.
