Dell EMC VxRail™ appliance cost and maintenance advantages

The case for Hyper-Converged Appliances

Published September 2016

While there are significant potential benefits when an organisation migrates to a hyper-converged system, true cost and real life experience are critical to the decision making process. In order to effectively establish a case for going to one platform vs. another, strong fact-based analytical methodologies and approaches are needed.

In this paper the case for Hyper-Converged Appliances, and in particular the Dell EMC VxRail Appliance powered by Intel® Xeon® processor, is made from both cost and measurable effort perspectives. Strict reliance on measurables was used in lieu of anecdotal observations or customer quoted benefits in order to provide realistic and repeatable analysis.
