Hyperconverged Infrastructure
Winner: Dell VxRail Satellite And Dynamic Nodes
VxRail is a hyperconverged infrastructure offering jointly engineered by Dell Technologies and VMware. At its heart is the VxRail HCI System Software, delivering full-stack integration, automated end-to-end life-cycle management and a consistent operational model for efficiency and simplicity. Dell introduced new VxRail Satellite Nodes and Dynamic Nodes to help IT teams address changing infrastructure needs. Satellite Node deployments give users the ability to expand VxRail offerings into small and remote locations while providing consistent operations across the IT landscape. Dynamic Nodes utilize VMware HCI Mesh or Dell storage arrays as primary storage, providing the ability to asymmetrically scale compute and storage as needed.
