According to IDC, the worldwide hyper-converged system market continued its trajectory as the fastest growing subset of the broader converged infrastructure market in 2016, surpassing $2.2 billion in global revenue, a substantial increase of 110 percent compared to 2015. Dell Technologies was the fastest growing hyper-converged system market vendor, growing revenue 206 percent in 4Q 2016 year over year, based on the success of Dell EMC VxRail Appliances, VxRack Systems and the XC Series.1
In this view, Dell EMC announces it is eliminating barriers to hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) adoption with several updates to its HCI portfolio, including Dell EMC VxRail Appliances, VxRack Systems and XC Series, and new flexible consumption models aimed at making IT even simpler to acquire, deploy and manage.
“HCI is the fastest-growing part of the IT infrastructure market because customers want radical infrastructure simplification, and Dell EMC is the fastest-growing vendor in this segment with the strongest HCI portfolio, bar none,” said Chad Sakac, president, Converged Platforms and Solutions Division, Dell EMC. “We’re making the move to HCI even easier for customers with innovative payment solutions that eliminate the burden of up-front costs and long-term commitments, backed by HCI’s ability to easily scale up and down.”
“The digitization of most industries in India and the rise of new business models has led to the need for technology that is agile, flexible, scalable and secure” said Anshuman Rai, Director Sales, Converged Platform & Solutions Division (CPSD), Dell EMC. “With enhanced enterprise features, Dell EMC’s VxRail Appliances 4.5 offers flexibility, easy deployment and scalability to its customers to enable them to stay competitive, innovative and gives them the edge to tap new business opportunities”.
New Innovative Payment Solutions for Cloud-Like Consumption Offer Hyper-Converged Infrastructure with Minimal Financial Risk
While organizations are increasingly adopting HCI solutions to simplify their IT infrastructure, barriers include up-front costs and perceived risk of a new IT operating model. Removing these barriers, the new Cloud Flex for HCI by Dell Financial Services (DFS) brings a cloud-like consumption model to the Dell EMC HCI portfolio by offering a flexible, financing solution that eliminates up-front capital costs with declining payments over time. This is offered, through Dell EMC and channel partners, with no obligation after the first year and allows customers to return any or all HCI appliances.
Additionally, Dell EMC is dramatically reducing the barriers to entry for desktop and application virtualization with Dell EMC VDI Complete Solutions powered by VMware Horizon. These end-to-end solutions encompass the infrastructure, software and the option of endpoints and services all from a single vendor. VDI Complete is based on VxRail Appliances or Ready Nodes for vSAN, and provides straightforward, predictable pricing and exceptional total cost of ownership with a single number for support. Customers can choose to either build their own VDI solution or buy a pre-configured end-to-end solution from as little as $8 per seat, per month1.
