Dell Solutions Tour 2014 Jan Bjelde Manager, Enterprise Solution Group, Dell Norway Arild Hansen System Enginer Server, Dell Norway Løsninger for Software defined and konvergert datasenter Gjennomgang av Dell VRTX som kan være verdens minste Konvergerte infrastruktur, et komplett konvergert og virtuelt datasenter ogkomponent i en Software Defined Storage løsning (SDS) “Softwared defined datasenter (SDDC) snur opp ned på tradisjonelle enterprise løsninger.Lagring lagres i server plattformer (SDS). Programvare i nettverket flyttes til virtuelle plattformer (SDN+NFV). Infrastruktur forenkles og enten leveres som stack’er i konvergert infrastruktur eller som standardiserte server plattformer (Hyper konvergens). Dell kommer med både moderniseringsstrategier og løsninger for det moderne datasenteret. Dell har mange nye produkter somoptimaliseres for det software definerte datasenter eller som konvergert infrastruktur for det virtuelle datasenter eller for SAP eller Oracle type workloads.»

2. Introducing The Optimized Enterprise Unlocking unprecedented customer value
Operational Efficiency
Price/Performance
Closed solutions where operational savings are achieved through limited interoperability and lock- in penalties
Proprietary systems and do it their way
Complex, monolithic systems with high per- transaction costs that are proprietary to a single vendor and costly to scale
Legacy IT
Low-cost commodity components with no solutions value-add, limited support and no assurance of continuity
Commodity systems and do it yourself
The Optimized Enterprise
Economical, end-to-end approach designed to maximize efficiency and choice at any scale
