VCE today announced a major expansion to its converged infrastructure portfolio with a series of new platform and software innovations focused on speeding and simplifying transition to the hybrid cloud by expanding the scope of converged infrastructure integration from physical hardware elements to include application and cloud infrastructure.
VCE introduced advancements including:
VCE Vscale Architecture: a new, innovative “scale up” AND “scale out” architecture that delivers simplicity and speed at data center scale.
VCE VxBlock Systems: The first VxBlock System announced today will offer Cisco® Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) or VMware NSX™ as a customer choice for software-defined networking (SDN) functionality, along with Cisco networking and computing, EMC storage and data protection, and VMware virtualization and virtualization management. Additional VxBlock Systems will be introduced throughout 2015.
VCE Vision™ Intelligent Operations 3.0: VCE Vision software capabilities provide unified intelligence across multiple VCE converged infrastructure systems – either independent or as part of a Vscale architecture – enabling efficient multi-system management and converged operations at scale.
Said Praveen Akkiraju, CEO of VCE, “This new set of platforms and solutions represents the first phase of major expansion for the scale and scope of the VCE portfolio and value proposition.”
