Great for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), server virtualisation, databases, business applications, and application consolidation at the enterprise edge.

Transform your IT infrastructure for greater efficiency and lower costs. The VxRail Appliance architecture consists of modular nodes, including models based on Dell PowerEdge servers, and VMware Virtual SAN.

Hyper-converged appliances that extend and simplify VMware environments

Managed through the well-known VMware vCenter Server, VxRail Appliances provide existing VMware customers an experience you are familiar with allowing you to seamlessly integrate VxRail into your existing IT infrastructure.

VxRail Appliances are fully loaded with integrated Dell EMC mission-critical data services including replication, backup, and cloud tiering at no additional charge and are the industry’s only hyper-converged appliance featuring kernel-layer integration between VMware vSAN and the vSphere hypervisor, delivering unique and unmatched performance and efficiency.

Start Small and Grow

The Dell EMC VxRail Appliance allows you to start small – with as few as three nodes - and grow incrementally, scaling capacity and performance easily and non-disruptively up to 64 nodes per cluster. Single-node scaling and storage capacity expansion provide a predictable, “pay-as-you-grow” approach for future scale up and out as your business and user requirements evolve without up-front planning.

Flexibility and Choice

The Dell EMC VxRail Appliance provides extreme configuration flexibility with purpose-built appliances that are designed to address any use case, including big data, analytics,  2D/3D visualisation, or collaboration applications.  VxRail Appliances, built with the latest Intel Broadwell processors, also offer a 3-node starting configuration for a lower entry point.  The addition of PowerEdge servers expands the VxRail Appliances portfolio - offering GPU optimised, storage dense, high performance computing, and entry level options -  to give you the flexibility to choose the VxRail Appliance that is best for your need.
