THE CHALLENGE: REDUCED IT COMPLEXITY AND GREATER PRODUCTIVITY

Success requires empowering your team be as productive and efficient as possible. The work place is now wherever your employees happen to be: at home, in a remote office, or in a distant hotel room—needing access to email, applications, and work files from a PC, tablet, or smart phone. The digital universe is doubling every two years, according to IDC, and the data generated by mobile connected devices today represents 18 percent of the total digital universe. By 2020, mobile connected devices are expected to create almost a third, 27 percent, of all data in the digital universe.1

Traditional, PC-centric IT infrastructures are too rigid, siloed, and complex to keep up. They create burdensome management and maintenance demands on your overworked IT staff—slowing responsiveness and impacting productivity. In addition, they require advanced planning and forecasting of capacity well into the future.

THE SOLUTION: EMC VSPEX™ BLUE DELIVERS AGILITY AND COST SAVINGS

EMC VSPEX™ BLUE is a hyper-converged infrastructure appliance that provides high-performance, highly flexible, end-user computing for optimum business agility and productivity. Automating the provisioning of the complete deployment lifecycle enables business and IT organizations with operational simplicity and reduced risk. A 2U/4-node, Intel® Xeon® processor-based x86 server running world-class VMware® EVO:RAIL™ and EMC software combines compute, network, storage, virtualization, and management—into one appliance. This ensures a powerful, yet easy-to-manage virtualized desktop infrastructure (VDI)—for critical business advantages. You can also trust EMC to provide a single point of support 24x7 for hardware and software. VSPEX BLUE helps make more efficient use of in-demand IT resources. With VSPEX BLUE, you can eliminate more than 200 manual configuration tasks and workflows— simplifying IT administration and improving the productivity of your employees and end users.

Other timesaving features that reduce the demand on your IT employees include:

• Fully automated management and orchestration to streamline the provisioning and configuration of virtualized infrastructure resources • One-click, non-disruptive patches and updates to enhance performance and availability • Rapid scale-out to meet growth requirements, with automatic discovery for each new appliance

SIMPLICITY THAT DRIVES HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY

With EMC VSPEX BLUE, applications such as VDI have never been quicker to implement or simpler to support. You order the all-inclusive hyper-converged infrastructure appliance, and when it arrives, it takes 15 minutes and just a few easy steps. VMware EVO:RAIL software bundled with VMware® Horizon View as a desktop in-a-box solution simplifies your path to cost-effective virtualized desktops. VDI demands exceptional performance and availability. IT administrators, using VMware Horizon View can easily provision and customize the end-user desktop environment to comply with corporate policies and end user needs. Horizon View simplifies and automates the deployment of virtual desktops allowing IT to centrally manage a streamlined, agile, and secure on demand desktop service.

VERSITILITY AND SCALABILTY TO MEET DIVERSE NEEDS

The versatile infrastructure appliance efficiently handles potential bottlenecks and high-latency events, such as I/O “storms” caused by simultaneous user logins, boot-ups, and virus scans—to ensure that users have access to needed applications and data. One-click, non-disruptive patches and upgrades allow any business to ensure maximum uptime and consistent availability for users. EMC VSPEX BLUE offers a choice of VDI environments, supporting both VMware® Horizon View and Citrix® XenDesktop® to adapt to whatever

requirements you may have. If you find it hard to plan for the unexpected— relax. You can expand up to eight total EMC VSPEX BLUE appliances, so you never have to overbuy. Each appliance joined to a cluster will supply full system resource availability, with nothing lost to overhead.

ADVANCED SUPPORT & DATA PROTECTION

With EMC VSPEX BLUE, you’re assured of the additional value that comes from the EMC Federation of companies. To begin, EMC’s appliance is built on highly reliable, Intel Xeon processor-based servers, and is integrated with VMware software at the kernel level. This deep integration gives EMC VSPEX BLUE significant performance advantages and excellent availability and operating efficiency for VDI and other key applications. EMC offers global, 24x7 support for all infrastructure hardware and software, to simplify and streamline any issue resolution that may be required. In addition, you’ll enjoy EMC Secure Remote Services (ESRS)—which establishes a two-way remote connection between your EMC VSPEX BLUE infrastructure and EMC Customer Support—for proactive, secure, remote monitoring, diagnostics, and repair. This ensures the fastest possible response and maximizes uptime for your most critical applications. EMC RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines delivers local and remote hypervisor based replication and continuous data protection for per-VM recovery to any point in time—as well as built-in automated operational and disaster recovery orchestration. This is in addition to VMware vSphere Data Protection Advanced (VDPA), based on EMC Avamar technology. VDPA provides backup and recovery with sophisticated deduplication that reduces storage consumption up to 90%, for more efficient storage and backup to local or centralize targets.
