Reliable, predictable desktop virtualization
Take out the guesswork. You can procure, deploy and manage virtual desktops with predictable scaling and management costs. The Dell XC Web-scale Converged Appliance for desktop virtualization simplifies Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) with easy-to-order, prescriptive configurations and a combination of tools and user interfaces so you can manage your desktop environment more easily. Increase your time to value with these benefits:
- Predictable per-seat costs that fit a broad range of use cases — Start with a single cluster of three nodes for around 300 seats and avoid step-function infrastructure costs by adding about 100 seats at a time, with predictable per-seat cost and performance.
- Support for most broker- and hypervisor-compatible desktop virtualization software — Choose from Citrix® XenDesktop® and XenApp®, VMware®, Microsoft® broker platforms with vSphere® or Hyper-V® hypervisors.
- Flexible scaling and performance — Add additional nodes to increase the number of seats or scale up to a different configuration to improve performance.
- Easy-to-order, appliance-based configurations — Simplify purchasing with one of three fixed configurations that support around 100 users.
- Optimal lifecycle management (LCM) and low operating expenses (OPEX)— Get the maximum number of virtual desktops on the appliance up and running in a matter of hours versus days.
- Supported by an Appliance Architecture — Learn about how to implement the Dell XC Series, with sizing guidance and endpoint recommendations to optimize your environment.
- Reliable Dell ProSupport — Our highly trained experts deliver enterprise-level tech-to-tech support.
Dell has partnered with Nutanix®, a leader in web-scale virtualized infrastructure, to incorporate their web-scale application with Dell infrastructure. The result is a hyper-converged infrastructure appliance (HCIA) that reduces the complexity of procurement, deployment and management by lowering the need for separate SAN storage.
