- Small and midsize customers take
advantage of innovations and enterprise-class capabilities to drive
business results
- Dell adds back-up and recovery
functionality to PowerEdge VRTX
- Dell Financial Services offers new
lease promotion for PowerEdge VRTX in North America
Dell today announced that in just four months since its release,
Dell PowerEdge VRTX – the first converged IT solution designed
specifically for remote and small office environments – is gaining
momentum and delivering benefits across a broad set of customers
around the world in multiple vertical market segments. These
customers have benefitted from the space-saving design,
functionality, cost and performance of Dell PowerEdge VRTX, which
is further evidence that Dell’s Enterprise strategy to deliver
converged infrastructure solutions for customers of all sizes is
working.
Dell is also enhancing the PowerEdge VRTX to help customers
protect their crucial data, and is introducing a new lease
promotion in North America that allows customers to reduce their
total cost of ownership and manage budget constraints more
effectively.
- Leveraging its AppAssure data
protection software, Dell has added backup and recovery
functionality to PowerEdge VRTX. This enhancement restores data at
any level within minutes of an event and performs continual checks
and backup updates, giving customers the confidence that their data
is protected and enabling their workforce to remain
productive.
- Dell Financial Services is offering a
Fair Market Value (FMV) lease payment deferral on PowerEdge VRTX
systems for customers in the United States and Canada1. Customers
can take advantage of award winning technology with no out of
pocket spend until February 2014.
“When we introduced PowerEdge VRTX to the world a few months ago
we knew we had a winner on our hands as it was designed from the
ground up to uniquely address the issues of office IT,” said Brian
Payne, executive director of server solutions, Dell. “The reception
from customers to industry-leading reviewers to channel, ISV and
alliance partners have exceeded our expectations, and it’s the fuel
behind the customer-inspired innovations we continue to bring to
customers.”
Customers around the World Benefit from PowerEdge VRTX Design
and Capabilities
Customers across the globe and with diverse use cases have
selected Dell PowerEdge VRTX to reduce hardware complexity, improve
IT efficiency and provide the scalability necessary to handle
performance spikes and business growth. Dell PowerEdge VRTX is
already being adopted by customers in the retail, financial
services and healthcare industries, and is now expanding its
vertical reach and entering into new markets, such as education and
manufacturing.
Washington-Saratoga Board of Cooperative Educational Services
(BOCES), one of the largest BOCES in New York State, was looking
for a scalable data center in a box that solved their sprawl of
disparate IT devices and multiple management tools, while also
reducing their power and cooling needs.
- “The Dell PowerEdge VRTX is a great
solution for our school districts and helps reduce server sprawl
and simplifies maintenance and management,” said Ken Morrill,
network analyst, Washington-Saratoga Board of Cooperative
Educational Services. “One of the biggest attractions of the Dell
PowerEdge VRTX for us is the low cooling and power requirement,
because our districts generally do not have purpose-built data
centers with robust air conditioning and power supplies. With VRTX,
we can consolidate three or four servers down to just one efficient
unit.”
Ma’anshan Spanesi Car Repair Equipment Co., Ltd, a small
manufacturing company based in China that specializes in car repair
and maintenance equipment, turned to Dell PowerEdge VRTX over HP
servers because it was the only system in the market designed to
meet their unique needs.
- “There were many things that impressed
us about the Dell PowerEdge VRTX, but being a converged solution
designed for the small office with compute power, shared storage
capacity, high availability capabilities and robust systems
management made it a clear winner,” said an IT director at
Ma’anshan Spanesi Car Repair Equipment. “In a short period of time,
we’ve been able to reduce the total cost of ownership by 30% and it
provides the full systems management capabilities that we were
lacking in our previous solutions.”
Caterham F1 Team, a Formula One team based in the United
Kingdom, was attracted to the VRTX space-saving design and
enterprise-class capabilities to use as their trackside IT
infrastructure, greatly simplifying the process of getting IT
equipment to the race sites.
- “Dell PowerEdge VRTX will allow us to
remove a considerable amount of weight from our airfreight,
providing a significant cost saving whilst reducing the size of the
data center considerably,” said Joe Birkett, senior IT engineer,
Caterham F1 Team. “All of this can be achieved while improving our
existing performance capability with next gen CPUs, reducing power
consumption and cooling requirements massively, simplifying our
cabling requirements, improving reliability and making our
operations more efficient. Furthermore, VRTX will also allow us to
improve our trackside disaster recovery as we will easily be able
to run two units as a failover pair in separate locations at all
times.”
Availability & Additional Information:
- The AppAssure integration with VRTX
will be available in the U.S. in November 2013 and in EMEA in the
first quarter of 2014.
