THE CHALLENGE: REDUCED IT COMPLEXITY AND
GREATER PRODUCTIVITY
Most Mid-market and Enterprise organizations compete in a challenging, everchanging marketplace. Success requires helping your people be as productive
and efficient as possible. The workplace is now wherever your employees happen
to be: at home, in a remote office, or a distant hotel room—needing access to
email, applications, and work files from a PC, tablet, or smartphone. Traditional,
PC-centric IT infrastructures are too rigid, siloed, and complex. They create
burdensome management and maintenance demands on your overworked IT
team—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
life-cycle 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.

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, provisioning of virtual machines
(VMs) takes just a few easy steps.
VMware EVO:RAIL software bundled with VMware® Horizon View as a desktopin-a-box solution simplifies your path to cost-effective virtualized desktops.
Applications such as VDI demand 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 enduser needs. Horizon View simplifies and automates the deployment of virtual
desktops allowing IT to centrally manage a streamlined, agile and secure ondemand desktop service.
VERSATILTY AND SCALABILITY TO MEET DIVERSE
NEEDS
EMC VSPEX BLUE’s fully integrated operational framework and automatic
management and orchestration coupled with VMware® Horizon View
management helps you make quick work of routine maintenance and allows you
to rapidly respond to new opportunities that deliver real business value.
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
even the smallest IT team 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. And if you find it hard to plan for growth—relax. You can add up to
three additional 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.
