Utilizes Premium Hardware
VxRail is based on Intel Xeon processors, contributing to the platform’s high performance and capabilities. Typically, Intel Xeon processors are designed to deliver high-performance computing capabilities, making them ideal for virtualization workloads in data centers. With VxRail leveraging this processing power, they can efficiently handle virtual machines and associated applications. VxRail delivers high performance and efficiency with all-flash appliances, including compression, deduplication, and erasure coding. These data management services boost the usable capacity while reducing the total cost of ownership.
Integrates Seamlessly with VMWare
One of the critical features of VxRail is its integration with VMware’s software-defined storage solution, Virtual SAN (vSAN), which provides the underlying storage infrastructure for virtual machines running on the VxRail nodes. Typically, the total storage capacity and performance of the vSAN cluster increase concurrently with the number of VxRail nodes, providing advanced data services, such as deduplication, compression, and RAID-like protection. The VxRail platform is developed to integrate seamlessly with existing VMware data centers, workflows, and tools. This integration capability ensures users can leverage familiar VMware management experience. Organizations that implement VxRail can also take advantage of the latest VMware cloud technologies, such as vSAN, NSX, AND vRealize
Centralized Management
The VxRail platform aims to provide a simplified and unified management experience for the entire IT infrastructure, including computing, storage, networking, and virtualization resources. Dell EMC achieves this centralized management feature by integrating the platform with VMware’s vSphere virtualization platform. The VxRail Manager is the overall management engine for the platform’s operations. It is natively integrated with and accessed through VMware vCenter.
