Business Wire
Dell today announced worldwide availability of Dell PowerEdge
VRTX, the first converged IT solution designed specifically for
remote and small office environments, with enterprise-class
capabilities in a desk-side, space-saving design. Overall,
PowerEdge VRTX provides a simplified and scalable data center in a
box which solves the sprawl of disparate IT devices and multiple
management tools.
Dell also introduced its VRTX Solutions Ecosystem, a collection
of partners working to further extend the value and capabilities of
PowerEdge VRTX by delivering complementary and interoperable
best-of-breed services and software designed for specific
customer vertical markets and use cases. The VRTX Ecosystem is made
up of Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), original equipment
manufacturers (OEM), global alliances, channel partners, and will
leverage various Dell solution portfolio offerings.
“PowerEdge VRTX has already received rave reviews from early
evaluation customers and we look forward to more customer feedback
now that it’s available worldwide. Designed from the ground up to
uniquely address the issues of office IT, we’re proud of
customer-inspired innovations PowerEdge VRTX features, such as huge
internal shared storage capacity and unified systems management of
all resources inside the chassis,” said Sally Stevens, vice
president of marketing, Dell Server Solutions. “Additionally, the
VRTX Solutions Ecosystem is yet another example of how Dell is
taking an omni-channel approach to bring differentiated solutions
to market.”
PowerEdge VRTX Solutions Ecosystem
The PowerEdge VRTX Ecosystem initial partners and solutions
include:
- Microsoft—Together, Dell and
Microsoft are working on solutions for PowerEdge VRTX to enable
high levels of efficiency and performance for small and
medium-sized businesses; this includes:
- The OpenManage Integration
Suite for Microsoft System Center 2012 and OpenManage Cluster
Configurator for Windows Server 2012 integrate VRTX embedded
management technology, iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller, to
drastically simplify the process and time typically required to
configure, deploy and manage networking, storage, and compute
nodes. Initial tests indicate a time savings from the range of
hours to deploy a cluster to just minutes using OpenManage Cluster
Configurator. For ongoing management, Dell’s OpenManage Integration
Suite for Microsoft System Center provides full lifecycle
management.
- Dell tested and qualified PowerEdge
VRTX for desktop virtualization workloads, hosting users
running Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS) and Remote Desktop
Virtualization Hosted (RDVH) on Windows Server 2012. In July, Dell
is updating the Dell DVS Enterprise for Windows Server 2012
reference architecture with VRTX sizing guidelines to enable
customers in remote and small office environments to deploy RDS and
RDVH with confidence.
- VMware—Using Dell Management
Plug-in for VMware vCenter™ Server and Dell PowerEdge VRTX with
VMware vSphere®, SMBs and remote/branch offices can realize the
benefits of virtualization in a way that is simple, automated,
agent-free, and efficient. IT administrators can manage virtualized
environments effectively and with fewer tools.
- PowerEdge VRTX solution development is
also underway with leading healthcare and retail ISV and OEM
partners including Amulet Hotkey, Carestream,
Infor, Microsoft Dynamics for Retail and
Varian to provide Dell and ISV customers with converged
solutions for compute-intensive applications relied upon by
healthcare practices and retailers.
- Multiple channel partners recently
engaged with the VRTX Solutions Ecosystem, including:
Dasher, Dynamic Quest, En
Pointe, Fluid Consulting, Information
Systems Intelligence, IT Weapons,
LANAIR, ProSys, SHI and
Veristor.
