Dell EMC asserts that bringing VMware Cloud Foundations and Dell EMC PowerEdge MX together into an integrated hybrid cloud platform offers a collection of compelling operational, financial, and business benefits. Their messaging focuses on the value of PowerEdge, the world’s #1 server x and the bedrock of your modern data center, together with VMware, the industry leader in enterprise virtualization and HCI software to accelerate and simplify your hybrid cloud journey with scalable, flexible architectures, intelligent automation and management, and multi-layer security, from the core to the cloud to the edge. They have a proven track record of moving organizations toward cloud with a robust product portfolio, set of services, and distinctive capabilities that support organizations as they pursue a hybrid cloud strategy.
Dell EMC believes that their approach mitigates risks. They’ve conducted end-to-end testing and validation to ensure that you don’t have to. Dell EMC Cloud Validated Designs give organizations the confidence that a design, built using proven configurations, will work as advertised. This approach not only cuts the costs and complexity of deployment, it also helps ensure that hybrid clouds deliver cost advantages that can’t be matched by other approaches.
Dell EMC commissioned a collection of tests using VMware with the PowerEdge MX, and these independent tests proved massive technology performance improvements when compared with competitive products from other vendors.
But those statistics don’t mean anything unless they support operational and business advantages. Some early experiences from their customers:
To summarize, Dell EMC has developed a strong case for combining the PowerEdge MX and VMware Cloud Foundation.
