I spent the day with the fantastic Paul Wynne at the Dell Customer Solution Center in Limerick Ireland. The trip was planned as a training exercise for some of the members of my team but as ever the trip was really informative and it was great to see the latest new technologies and business solutions available from Dell. During our visit we covered both VMware SDDC solutions and how VxRail interacts and enhances these capabilities, we visited the innovation center looking at the business aligned IoT solutions and much more.
In this video I discuss the announcements of the day, including:
The new Dell EMC Unity XT arrays
Improvements into the single cluster scale for Isilon now up to 58PB in a single namespace over 252 devices
An analytics engine for VxRail for proactive management and to ensure performance is maintained called ACE (Analytical Consulting Engine)
A brand new storage platform PowerProtect available in both an appliance the X400 which comes in a hybrid and all flash configuration or as a software only solution
14 new Latitude Devices on the 25 birthday of the Latitude brand
and much more
