Dell EMC has announced that its turnkey hybrid cloud platform, Dell EMC Enterprise Hybrid Cloud (EHC), will be available for the first time on Dell EMC VxRail Appliances, the company’s hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) offering.
Dell EMC EHC is delivered as a fully designed, integrated and tested engineered solution, enabling an IT organisation to deliver value to the business faster than by building its own hybrid cloud infrastructure. Dell EMC EHC on VxRail Appliances allows organisations to grow as their demand for hybrid cloud services expand.
“It’s clear that enterprises are moving to hybrid cloud models, and they’re looking for us to help simplify standing-up and managing these environments, which inevitably includes multiple cloud stacks, cross-cloud technologies and a combination of various off-premises and on-premises clouds,” said Chad Sakac, President, Dell EMC Converged Platforms and Solutions Division.

“HCI has quickly proven effective for core data centre workloads and is becoming the answer for the on-premises part of hybrid cloud. Adding Dell EMC VxRail Appliances as an infrastructure option for Dell EMC EHC helps us simplify hybrid cloud for smaller enterprises and a broader set of customers.”
“Since its launch last year, we have seen a strong demand for VxRail Appliances in the Asia Pacific region, as organisations are increasingly turning to HCI for simplicity, agility and speed,” said Matt Oostveen, CTO, Asia Pacific, Dell EMC Converged Platforms & Solutions. “Seeking innovative new ways to test and deploy workloads, organisations in the region are looking to hybrid cloud models as a way of achieving their IT and business objectives. Coupling the Dell EMC EHC platform with the VxRail Appliance will help organisations reach these objectives by simplifying the complexity of designing, building and maintaining their own hybrid cloud.”
The Dell EMC VxRail Appliance family of fully integrated, preconfigured and pretested HCI appliances offers the industry’s only HCI appliances powered by VMware vSAN and jointly engineered with VMware. Since VxRail Appliances launched a year ago today, Dell EMC has sold more than 8,000 VxRail nodes—exceeding 65 petabytes of storage and 100,000 cores—to more than 1,000 customers in dozens of industries across 78 countries.

An Evaluator Group study demonstrates why hybrid cloud is the true end state cloud model. The elastic economics of the public cloud (including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Engine and others) are an excellent fit for workloads that will scale in unknown or transient ways. As the report shows, for workloads that will exist for years, simple, cost effective HCI platforms can deliver a better total cost of ownership (TCO) for the on-premises half of the hybrid cloud model, the company said.
Industry analyst and research firm 451 Research notes in a new report that three out of four hyperconverged deployments are in the core data centre, and hybrid cloud is the next frontier for HCI. And according to IDC research, revenue from Dell Technologies’ HCI portfolio, including VxRail Appliances, VxRack Systems and XC Series, outgrew the total HCI market—one of the fastest growing IT markets—by more than twofold and represents 28% of hyperconverged systems sold in Q316*.

Henry Baltazar, Research Director, 451 Research said, “With the HCI market growing relatively rapidly over the last few years, Dell EMC has grown its own presence with last year’s introduction and subsequent customer adoption of VxRail Appliances. As customers are increasingly ramping-up their HCI deployments, hybrid cloud is the next obvious destination. This makes the combination of Dell EMC Enterprise Hybrid Cloud and VxRail a worthy solution for consideration.”
EHC on VxRail Appliances offers customers a turnkey hybrid cloud optimised for deployments ranging from 200 to 1,000 virtual machines, and:
• A platform optimised for smaller deployments.
• Simplified, automated installations of the EHC software stack on VxRail Appliances.
• Subscription-based support with professional services.
Global ERP software vendor proALPHA Business Solutions, which has offices in China and Thailand, powers its academy cloud platform with Dell EMC VxRail. The new platform is simpler for the team to manage from its headquarters in Germany and enables customers around the world to access its online training programmes much faster and easier in order to get more out of their software solutions.
“Dell EMC VxRail Appliances are a small, powerful way to accomplish our business needs,” said Markus Gehm, Cloud Specialist, ProALPHA Business Solutions. “VxRail has enabled us to transform the way we deliver training to our customers, allowing us to deliver better service to customers at no increased cost to our business.
