Dell EMC VxRAIL Appliance based on VMware SDS

•
•

This document discusses the Dell EMC VxRAIL appliance, which is a hyper-converged infrastructure solution based on VMware's software-defined storage. It is a preconfigured appliance that can be easily deployed and managed. The appliance uses VMware Virtual SAN for the storage software and can be scaled out by adding additional nodes in a cluster. It offers various configurations to meet different use cases with options for all-flash or hybrid nodes. The document highlights key features of Virtual SAN like quality of service, management tools, deduplication and compression. It also outlines the simplified lifecycle management through automated configuration and non-disruptive scaling of the appliance cluster.
