Dell VxRail
Designed for VMware, with VMware, to enhance VMware

Dell VxRail™, the only jointly engineered hyperconverged infrastructure system with
VMware, is the easiest and fastest way to extend a VMware environment. Powered by
VMware vSANTM and managed through the VMware vCenter interface, VxRail provides
existing VMware customers a consistent operating experience. As the foundation for Dell
Technologies Cloud, VxRail is the first hyperconverged system fully integrated with
VMware Cloud Foundation SDDC Manager to deliver one, complete, automated platform.
VxRail is a distributed system consisting of common modular building blocks powered by
the best-in-class VxRail HCI System Software that allows customers to start small and
grow, scaling capacity and performance easily and non-disruptively from 2 to 64 nodes in a
cluster. Single-node scaling and storage capacity expansion provide a simple, predictable,
cost-effective “pay-as-you-grow” approach for future growth as needed.
VxRail HCI System Software ensures workloads are always up and running with intelligent
lifecycle management (LCM) that non-disruptively automates upgrades, patches, node
additions and node retirement to ensure that VxRail infrastructure maintains a continuously
validated state. SaaS multi-cluster management can further enhance operational efficiency
by leveraging infrastructure machine learning to aggregate performance metrics and
detailed health reports into CloudIQ, providing a single global view of a customer’s VxRail
environment. And, coupled with a broad set of public RESTful APIs, VxRail is uniquely
positioned as the platform of choice for greater cloud and IT automation extensibility.
Built on PowerEdge servers with a choice of Intel® Xeon® Scalable or AMD EPYC™ processors, VxRail is configurable
with multiple compute, memory, storage, network and graphics options to cover a wide variety of applications and
workloads, and is continuously adopting new technologies like NVMe storage, 100 Gb/s networking, SmartDPUs, and
NVIDIA Data Center GPUs to deliver application performance, availability, and diversity for the workloads of tomorrow.
And with redundancy built in at every opportunity – from the RAID 1 “BOSS”, high-efficiency redundant power supplies,
and multiple networking ports – VxRail is designed for 99.9999% high availability.
With the fast adoption of digital transformation and the proliferation of 5G networks, workloads are expanding outside of
traditional core data centers, creating an immediate need for a small footprint, low-cost, easy-to-manage infrastructure
option. This is especially true for retail, telecommunications, manufacturing, and ROBO customers, whose data collection
and data processing needs are increasingly happening at the edge. Customers already benefitting from the simplicity and
automation that VxRail provides in the core data center can leverage VxRail satellite nodes, a single node deployment
option, to extend these same benefits to the edge.
VxRail comes stacked with mission-critical data services at no additional charge. Data protection technologies such as a
starter set of licenses for Dell RecoverPoint for VMs is included, with the option of adding Data Protection Suite for
VMware and Data Domain Virtual Edition for larger environments that require more comprehensive data protection.
VxRail is backed by Dell Technologies’ world-class support, offering a single point of contact for both hardware and
software components and includes Dell Secure Connect Gateway for call-home and proactive two-way remote connection
for remote monitoring, diagnosis, and repair to ensure maximum availability.

Dell VxRail Deployment Flexibility
VxRail with vSAN Original Storage Architecture (OSA)
VxRail with vSAN OSA describes VxRail deployed with original vSAN architecture, configured as a two-tier diskgroup
based storage system comprised of dedicated cache and capacity disks, and is supported on all VxRail platforms and
configurations.

VxRail with vSAN Express Storage Architecture (ESA)

VxRail with vSAN ESA is an optional, alternative vSAN architecture optimized for high performing, modern hardware.
VxRail deployed with VMware’s Express Storage Architecture employs a single-tier, all-NVMe storage architecture whose
high performance can parallelize I/Os with low CPU overhead. This in turn offers simplified storage device management
that allows for adaptive data resiliency and enables RAID-1 performance at RAID-6 capacity.

VMware Cloud Foundation on VxRail

VMware Cloud Foundation on VxRail delivers a simple and direct path to the hybrid cloud and Kubernetes at cloud scale
with one complete automated platform, supporting simultaneous VM and container-based workloads on industry-leading
Dell PowerEdge server and Dell Storage across multiple cloud environments. The platform delivers a set of software
defined services for compute (with vSphere and vCenter), storage (with vSAN and Dell Storage), networking (with NSX),
security, cloud management (with vRealize Suite), End User Computing Services (with VMware Horizon and App
Volumes), and container-based cloud native platform services (with VMware vSphere 7 with Kubernetes and Tanzu
Kubernetes Grid in both private or public environments, making it an ideal operational hub for hybrid cloud.

VxRail satellite nodes

VxRail satellite nodes enable customers to implement a low-cost single node option and benefit from the same VxRail
automation, testing and optimization, unique lifecycle management, and deep VMware integration increasing operational
efficiencies and standardization across edge locations, without the use of vSAN.

VxRail dynamic nodes

VxRail dynamic node clusters are compute-only vSphere clusters that allow users to scale compute and storage
independently based on workload needs. The Dell storage portfolio, including Dell PowerFlex, PowerStore-T, PowerMax,
and Unity XT, can be leveraged as primary storage. VxRail and VCF on VxRail solutions can support dynamic node
deployments in a three-tier vSphere architecture to support mission critical data-centric workloads, like financial services
and healthcare applications. VxRail dynamic nodes can also extend to VMware vSAN HCI Mesh environments where
remote vSAN datastores can also be used as primary storage for dynamic node clusters.
