Flexibility and Simplicity for Growing Businesses Vblock and VxBlock System Series are complete converged infrastructure for medium-sized businesses and distributed remote offices. Ideally suited for mixed workloads and general-purpose customer applications, these systems feature the next generation of compute, networking, storage, and virtualization and are an ideal entry-level private-cloud solution for businesses seeking the availability and performance benefits of enterprise-class converged infrastructure.

Enterprise-Class Performance for Virtualization and Cloud Computing Vblock and VxBlock Systems Series are agile and highly scalable converged infrastructure designed for the rapid rollout or expansion of a virtualized data center, cloud environment, or service-provider solution. The new VMAX All-Flash array delivers multidimensional scale, high IOPS for extreme levels of performance with low latency, lower total cost of ownership with fewer drive replacements, and smaller data center footprints.

Vblock and VxBlock are flash optimized to deliver the performance and availability required for mission-critical workloads such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, and VDI in large enterprise environments.

Furthermore, the use of Cisco UCS blade infrastructure enables for high density compute resources while minimizing network and fabric infrastructure.

Cisco and EMC both have very large portfolios. Vblocks are becoming less and less constrained as VCE continues to expand the technology extensions that can be added to Vblocks.

Product, organizational growth, manufacturing, and support maturity, in addition to thousands of real-world deployments, have enabled VCE to be tremendously more flexible in deployment and support of many configurations today. Chassis supports eight half-width blades, and a single Fabric Interconnect pair can support up to 16 chassis or blades. C-Series extensions are connected to VBs, s, and s to fabric interconnects, meaning that server management is centralized along with the blades in the Vblocks.

Storage Array s and s use the VNX series array, which ranges from to drives, depending on the model. Orders of magnitude improvements in performance over the VNX line, along with terrific dedup ratios for dedup friendly workloads, make this the default array by many customers who are considering purchasing a Vblock. Although EMC has faced criticism for rushing this platform to the market before all of its enterprise features were ready, this is still the primary choice for enterprise applications that require the highest uptime.

Additional storage switches can be added for special use cases, such as to provide connectivity to iseries servers. Note that Vblock does not allow Layer 3 configurations on these, but instead requires that layer 3 services be provided by northbound switches outside of the Vblock. NX-OS has to be made before workloads are added to the Vblock. In general, software-defined networking is a very new concept, and with the marketplace dynamics being unsure, we have not seen any SDN factory deployments to date.
