Dell Technologies offers comprehensive, flexible, and efficient VDI solutions that are designed and optimized for your organization's needs. These VDI solutions are easy to plan, deploy, and run. To start or extend your data center, you can start with just one component from each of the server, storage, and networking tier and scale up or out from there.
PowerEdge servers are designed for modern IT environments of any size, anywhere. The PowerEdge portfolio can help you adapt to change quickly, incorporating the latest technology without disruption and empowering your organization from home offices to multiple data centers and clouds to distant edge locations.
Dell storage products are integrated into a mature monitoring and reporting suite that is designed to minimize management effort. With robust reporting and notification services, storage management can be as minimal as needed. The integrated dashboards also enable at-a-glance insight into the health and performance of the platform.
Dell networking products are designed for building high-capacity network fabrics that are easy to deploy, are cost-effective, and provide a clear path to a software-defined data center. The Dell SmartFabric OS10 Enterprise Edition is a network operating system that leverages multilayered disaggregation of the network functionality to support multiple architectures and environments. This allows for freedom and flexibility in selecting networking, monitoring, management, and orchestration applications to meet customers' needs. Together with SmartFabric Services, customers can quickly and easily deploy and automate data center networking fabrics using leaf-spine fabrics.
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 can be reduced when deploying from a data center.
- Rapid deployments—Dell Validated Designs for VDI offer rapid automated deployment at the infrastructure layer through Dell Technologies Services.
- Rapid scaling to serve enterprises of any size—Quickly scale with workload-specific configurations per platform. The solution is scalable up to 96 nodes per cluster, supporting thousands of virtual machines (VMs). The VDI environment can continue scaling with pod architecture and by combining multiple clusters. VxRail Manager makes it easy to insert or remove nodes from your cluster to meet your business needs.
- Granular infrastructure scaling—Each layer of the design can be scaled independently using a scale-up or scale-out architecture to allow for a flexibility in initial design and deployment and the accommodation of future growth and changing performance needs.
- Dell Technologies support—Dell Validated Designs for VDI are engineered and tested specifically for VDI and related applications. Deployment services can provide installation of this turnkey VDI appliance to ensure a rapid deployment with linear and predictable scalability. Dell Technologies offers single-company-support models for VDI solutions.
- User experience (UX)—NVIDIA virtual GPU (vGPU) 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. Remote workers in a variety of locations can have a consistently excellent user experience.
