Customers are adopting VxRail and VxRack SDDC as the foundation for deploying clouds of all types

Dell Technologies is launching new hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) advancements to further simplify customer IT transformations with more powerful systems.

New Dell EMC VxRail Appliances and VxRack SDDC Systems further extend Dell EMC’s HCI global systems sales leadership with the adoption of advanced technologies and the latest innovations from Dell EMC and VMware. The combined technologies can accelerate customers’ abilities to transform to modern, multi-cloud environments.

“As HCI systems are increasingly being used for core data center applications, customers are adopting VxRail and VxRack SDDC as the foundation for deploying clouds of all types,” said Rajesh Ramnani, Regional director, CPSD, Dell EMC India. “These technologies, co-developed by Dell EMC and VMware, offer a simple and clearly defined path to private, hybrid and multi-clouds to help our customers transform their IT infrastructure to free up valuable staff time while enabling IT to be the enabler for faster, nimbler businesses.”

Results of the ESG 2018 IT Transformation Maturity Study, sponsored by Dell EMC demonstrate that:

* An overwhelming majority of transformed companies–98 percent–use either converged infrastructure (CI) or HCI, and 86 percent report using both.

* Transformed companies report running an average of more than 35 percent of their applications on CI/HCI, quantifying their operational expenditure savings at 25 percent on an average.

* Organizations running cloud-like IaaS are operating on-premises infrastructure more than two and a half times as cost-effectively as public cloud alternatives.
