The Dell Poweredge VRTX is a new class of converged infrastructure
designed to help Dell customers simplify all types of IT
organizations from large to small
and is the first service solution optimize for small remote and branch
offices.
I'm Hope Lawrence, an enterprise solutions expert here at Dell.
Dell received feedback from thousands of customers
who asked us to provide a solution with office level acoustics
robust physical security
and the capability to run off any office power environment
to meet these requirements
Dell design the PowerEdge VRTX the first simple comprehensive data center solution
that fits conveniently under a desk
unobtrusively in the corner of your office or neatly into a rack
compressing four servers up to 48 terabytes of storage
and a network switch, in just 5U of rack space.
to maintain consistency customers
also asked Dell to use similar technology building blocks with in the server
portfolio
Delivering on this request VRTX is designed to use Dell's latest half height
server nodes.
VRTX server node's integrated storage and networking provide the same performance
you'd expect in Dell enterprise products
but the technology is now repackaged into a new optimized enclosure
with VRTX, IT organizations
now have a whole new set of solutions for their IT infrastructure
for example many organizations use a combination of two to four servers in a
location with attached storage
now all of that can be consolidated into space saving efficient
single chassis of compute and storage
and it's quiet
a typical VRTX configuration is quieter than a common background noise
in an office
VRTX is an excellent system for server virtualization
VRTX supports up to eight Intel processors. Combine this with
industry-leading memory capacity extensive internal data storage and
large internal bandwidth
and the result is a flexible agile system can handle a large number of
virtual machines to help drive your business or organization forward
another beauty of VRTX is that you can just grow at their own pace
inside the chassis without increasing the floor or rack space
this not only protects the investment in the VRTX system
it helps to avoid disrupting productive work
for long periods for upgrades
for example
users can begin with two servers and add a third and fourth server later
as work load requirements demand
typically management of server storage and networking requires multiple software
solutions and the information is presented in three different consoles
with the VRTX software solution
Dell consolidates server storage and networking in a single console
this makes VRTX simpler and easier to manage than traditional servers and storage
remote offices often need similar management to the main office
but getting a cost-efficient solution for remote offices
hasn't previously been possible
Now Dell is extending Idrac, OME and CMC into a small shared infrastructure
making it much more cost effecient for smaller offices
that's easy to do with the simpler more streamlined VRTX management tool
as it provides full remote management while physical deployment could be done
by an untrained IT staff if needed
VRTX can give you the ability to perform better today
and grow with you through time
