On this episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast – Interview Series, I am joined by Dell Technologies' Bill Leslie, Director, Technical Marketing for an inside look at the performance of Dell's VxRail solution, including use cases, and the findings of our recent performance testing on Dell's VxRail hyper converged infrastructure (HCI). Our discussion covers: Dell's relationship with VMware and the state of the HCI business An overview of Dell's VxRail 8.0, vSAN 8.0 and new vSAN Express Storage Architecture The Futurum Group's performance testing results why those results matter in business terms as well What our performance test findings mean for use cases and the expansion for high performance workloads Take a look at our findings here. 

Dell Technologies is introducing new infrastructure solutions, co-engineered with VMware, that deliver greater automation and performance for organizations embracing multicloud and edge strategies. “Customers tell us they want help simplifying their multicloud and edge strategies as they look to drive more efficiency and performance from their IT,” said Jeff Boudreau, president, of Dell Technologies Infrastructure Solutions Group. “Dell Technologies and VMware have numerous joint engineering initiatives spanning core IT areas such as multicloud, edge and security to help our customers more easily manage and gain value from their data.” Business data and applications continue to grow in multicloud environments comprised of edge locations, public clouds and on-premises IT. Many organizations have already adopted a multicloud approach, and the number of applications running at the edge will grow 800% by 2024. “IDC's global research shows many organizations are struggling to balance the rapidly rising complexity and cost of data centre, edge and cloud operations with relentless business demand for better data integration, security and application performance,” notes Mary Johnston Turner, IDC research vice president, future of digital infrastructure agenda. “These organizations recognize the need for a consistent operating model tightly integrated with infrastructure platforms that support sophisticated, large scale data-driven workloads.” Dell VxRail delivers greater performance and smallest-ever systems at the edge Dell is introducing several new VxRail systems and software advancements that improve performance on-premises and at the edge including the industry's only jointly engineered HCI-based DPU solution with VMware. Improved system performance: A result of co-engineering with VMware and its Project Monterey initiative, VxRail systems support new VMware vSphere 8 software that has been rearchitected to run on DPUs. Customers can improve application and networking infrastructure performance and improve TCO by moving these services from a system's CPU to its new onboard DPU. Support demanding workloads: Select VxRail systems now support VMware's new vSAN Enterprise Storage Architecture (ESA). With up to 4x vSAN performance improvement, customers can better support demanding mission-critical applications. Smallest edge systems: VxRail rugged modular nodes deliver high performance and scalability in the system's smallest form factor to date. Modular nodes are ideal for edge use cases including healthcare, energy and utilities and digital cities because of VxRail's industry-first, on-board hardware witness, which allows for deployment in high latency, low bandwidth locations. “The increasing demand for software-defined infrastructure services for networking, storage and security places more demands on already-strained CPUs. As more distributed, resource-intensive applications are onboarded, there is a need to reimagine data centre architecture to fully support the requirements of these applications,” said Krish Prasad, senior vice president & general manager, Cloud Infrastructure Business Group, VMware. “Dell VxRail with VMware vSphere 8 will deliver a foundation for next-generation data centre architecture by running infrastructure services on the DPU. This will enable greater network and application performance and a new level of sophistication in adopting Zero Trust security strategies to protect modern enterprise workloads.” Dell APEX expands multicloud and edge support for VMware environments Dell is adding several offers to its APEX portfolio for VMware workloads that speed development of cloud-native apps and better allocate compute and storage resources for applications at the edge. APEX Cloud Services with VMware Cloud adds managed VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid services, which allows IT teams to help developers move faster by using a container-based approach to application development.

TechCentral — In this promoted episode of the podcast, TechCentral talks to Ricky Pereira, Dell EMC brand manager at Pinnacle, about how companies are using hyperconverged infrastructure to solve their complex IT challenges. In the podcast, Pereira talks about Dell EMC’s VxRail appliance solution, which helps companies virtualise their IT infrastructure, in the process reducing complexity and making it easier to manage IT resources. Pereira explains the concept of a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) platform, and the benefits it offers to businesses trying to manage disparate legacy systems. As part of companies’ digital transformation journeys, he explains how VxRail can help them get ready for the era of cloud computing. The interview touches on the impact that HCI can have on businesses’ IT costs, while delving into how it can make disaster recovery much more effortless. Lastly, Pereira explains how Pinnacle works with Dell EMC and its channel partners to go to market with the solution.

During this episode, Matt and Dean discuss the Hyperconverged landscape and take a look at VxRail. We tackle some of the "FUD" that has been thrown around about VxRAIL and take a look at the simplicity of the platform.

Yesterday’s launch of VxRail represents a historic moment in EMC history. Together with VMware the introduction of the VCE VxRail appliance family marks the first joint product announcement, where EMC and VMware engineers have worked side by side developing, testing and validation a fully integrated hyper converged appliance. IT infrastructure is no longer just supporting the business; it is the business enabler. Infrastructure must support constant business demands for new applications and services with limited budgets and resources. Yet there is limited time to constantly evaluate and integrate hardware, software and networking solutions to meet continuously evolving requirements. Create an automated, dynamic infrastructure that adapts to your business demands with the VCE VxRail Appliance Family. The VxRail appliance family offers Massive scalability, Simplified management, Simplified IT and Industry-leading data services that extend beyond the traditional appliance model including: deduplication, compression, replication, backup, and cloud tiering to public clouds, such as VMware vCloud Air, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure.  The official launch replay can be found here, along with links to anything you need to know about the launch and VxRail. This week on EMC The Source Podcast I sat down with Colin Galagher (@WorldC3), Sr. Director, Hyper Converged infrastructure Marketing.
