The VxRail system is a self-contained environment with the compute, storage, server virtualization, and management services that make up an HCI.
VxRail Hyperconverged Infrastructure
Hyper-converged infrastructure is an excellent alternative to traditional IT setups. It’s perfect for enterprise data centers, small and medium businesses, and remote or branch offices to quickly expand virtual environments, streamline operations, and support new and growing workloads. Our HCI systems offer scalable options with predictable results and lower operational costs.
Begin Your Hyper-Converged Journey with VxRail from Ctelecoms!
VxRail is considered the simplest and quickest path to a fully integrated, VMware-based HCI appliance. It seamlessly integrates with your existing tools and processes, providing enhanced flexibility, automation, mobility, and robust security.
Dell Vx-Rail: Scalable, Flexible, and High-Performance HCI Solution
Scalability: VxRail allows you to start with as few as three nodes and scale up to 64 nodes per cluster.
Pay-as-you-grow: It offers a flexible, cost-effective approach to scaling, allowing you to expand as needed.
Integration with VMware: VxRail is deeply integrated with VMware SDDC offerings, providing automation and powerful security features.
Performance and Data Services: It includes 2X more flash per node, rich data services, and automation of over 200 tasks to ensure maximum performance and data protection
Enhance VMware with VxRail HCI System Software:
Our VxRail HCI System Software stands out by adding significant value to VMware HCI environments. It offers comprehensive automation, orchestration, and management for your entire VxRail setup. Dell Technologies has enhanced the software to provide more functionality, streamline the user experience, and automate processes.
Automated Lifecycle Management: VxRail offers single-click, automated lifecycle management, integrating NSX-T and Tanzu into a unified upgrade cycle.
Self-Deployment:The configuration portal allows for self-deployment, giving enterprises control over the installation process, enhancing flexibility.
Node Management:Reimage and reallocate nodes between clusters or create new clusters as needed.
Update Planning: Easily plan updates with options to pause, resume, and perform partial updates to clusters.
Reimagine agility with next-generation PowerEdge:
Launched in March, our next-gen PowerEdge servers seamlessly integrate with VxRail, allowing multiple generations of nodes to run side by side. Dell Technologies ensures smooth integration with over 100 test engineers and 25,000 hours of lab testing per release.
Here are some highlights:
- More Workloads:
3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors offer up to 42% more cores.
- AI and ML:
NVIDIA A40 and A100 GPUs enhance AI and ML workloads.
- Application Power:
166% increase in Intel Persistent Memory.
Flexibility and Scalability:
3rd Gen AMD EPYC™ processors provide up to 64 cores per processor.
Reimagine transformation with VxRail dynamic nodes:
Dell Technologies’ VxRail dynamic nodes offer flexible storage options and integrate seamlessly into the VxRail solution. They utilize shared storage and come with full VxRail HCI System Software and lifecycle management.
Key benefits include:
- External Storage:
Attach external storage to workload domains with dynamic nodes.
- Shared vSAN:
Share vSAN between VxRail or VCF on VxRail clusters.
- Scalable Resources:
Scale compute and storage separately to meet business needs.
A VxRail cluster has the following types of system network traffic:
Management—Management traffic is used for connecting to the VxRail Manager plug-in on vCenter, for other management interfaces, and for communications between the management components and the ESXi nodes in the cluster. Management traffic uses either the default VLAN or a specific management VLAN.
vSAN—Data access for read and write activity as well as for optimization and data rebuild is performed over the vSAN network. Low network latency is critical for this traffic, and a specific VLAN isolates this traffic.
vMotion—VMware vSphere vMotion allows virtual machine mobility between nodes. A separate VLAN is used to isolate this traffic.
Virtual machine—Users access virtual machines and the service provided over the VM network or networks. At least one VM VLAN is configured when the system is initially configured, and others may be defined as required.
