PowerSwitch switches and SmartFabric Services
automation that greatly simplies the design and
deployment of a network fabric.
Validated Designs - Validated Designs enable
customers to deliver cloud capabilities to a broader
set of workloads with pre-tested infrastructure and
deployment guidance. Using Dell Technologies
best-of-breed storage, compute, and PowerSwitch
networking that’s been validated with VMware Cloud
Foundation, they can now meet the varied demands
of workloads with independent scaling of storage or
compute.
Datacenter-as-a-Service - VMware Cloud on Dell
EMC is our new Data Center-as-a-Service o󰀨ering.
Specically, it is a cloud infrastructure installed
on-premise in the customer core and edge data
centers and is to consume and utilize like a cloud
service. The foundation of this o󰀨er is VxRail - Dell
EMC and VMware’s enterprise-grade cloud platform
that delivers integrated compute, storage and
PowerSwitch network capabilities.
