GEC NEWS WIREThousands of customers from more than 50 countries and six continents have deployed PowerEdge VRTX to simplify and enhance their office IT environments
Dell is introducing new capabilities for PowerEdge VRTX to drive further simplicity, efficiency and performance in remote, branch and small business offices. The enhancements include:
Next-level data protection inside the chassis: For customers requiring the highest levels of availability and redundancy possible, Dell now offers an optional redundant PowerEdge Raid Controller (PERC), which provides RAID controller failover inside the Dell PowerEdge VRTX chassis.
More server node choices: PowerEdge VRTX now offers additional server node choices – including the 4-socket, PowerEdge M820 – to enable faster processing of workloads such as large, back-end database, business intelligence, data mining, enterprise resource planning (ERP), supply chain management (SCM) and customer relationship management (CRM) applications.
Enhanced system management: By sharing a common design, Chassis Management Controller (CMC) provides PowerEdge VRTX users with a familiar systems management tool to manage local or remote VRTX systems, just as CMC does in the data centre, along with enhancements in setting, updating and maintaining server and chassis configurations.
Expanded support for virtual desktops: Dell PowerEdge VRTX now enables VDI in remote offices and branch offices by providing support for optional graphical processing units (GPUs).
“As the server market evolves in the Middle East, Dell remains at the forefront of providing solutions for the diverse problems affecting customers, whether large, small or remote,” said Kevin Pickford, Solutions Director, Dell Middle East. “With today’s enhancements and ongoing customer momentum, Dell PowerEdge VRTX is delivering what customers need in order to realise greater simplicity and efficiency to grow their business.”
Dell announced that PowerEdge VRTX, the first integrated IT solution designed specifically for office environments, is seeing accelerated adoption by customers around the world. This converged infrastructure solution simplifies office IT by removing the complexities associated with disparate and sprawling hardware and multiple management tools. To further these benefits and enable additional workload choices, Dell also introduced enhancements to PowerEdge VRTX.
