At its second annual U.S. Dell Storage Forum customer and
partner event, Dell today announced new solutions and services
designed to help customers benefit from the further convergence of
storage, servers, networking and IT management for improved data
center simplicity and performance. These latest offerings advance
the Dell Fluid Data architecture and support Dell’s approach to
deliver customer-inspired, end-to-end solutions that simplify IT
management and deliver efficient results.

According to analyst firm IDC, while virtualization has reduced
data center costs by 25 percent, IT organizations still spend 80
percent of their annual budget on maintaining and managing existing
systems and only 20 percent on value-added activities and
initiatives.1 A converged infrastructure can provide a single,
tightly integrated system that reduces the complexity of running IT
systems and enables a shared service model of computing that
maximizes hardware utilization, improves availability, contains
management costs, and reduces time to deployment.
“Dell is redrawing the lines among servers, storage, networking
and management to offer customers technology convergence that
provides simplicity and improved performance while reducing the
operational costs associated with running today’s data centers,”
said Brad Anderson, president of Enterprise Solutions Group at
Dell. “Our holistic approach helps customers cost-effectively
manage the physical, virtual and cloud environments that deliver
flexible IT services to support their business goals.”
New Dell EqualLogic Blade Arrays Enable Blade Data Center
Convergence
The scalable and easy-to-manage Dell EqualLogic PS-M4110 Blade
Arrays provide customers all of the functionality and
enterprise-class features of traditional EqualLogic arrays inside a
Dell PowerEdge M1000e blade chassis. The new blade arrays combine
with Dell 11th or 12th generation PowerEdge blade servers and Dell
Force10 or PowerConnect networking switches, enabling customers to
run an entire data center within a single compact blade enclosure
that helps streamline IT management and operations.
Dell’s first storage blade arrays, like all EqualLogic
solutions, are highly virtualized, scale performance along with
capacity, and provide automated load balancing to optimize
performance and reduce costs associated with running storage
systems. They are designed to support virtualized environments,
data center infrastructure convergence, and the general storage
needs of small and medium-sized deployments.
Multiple EqualLogic Blade Arrays can be configured in less than
an hour with a fraction of the set-up time required by other
available blade storage solutions. The new arrays also can provide
nearly double the usable capacity - 96 percent more – than
competitive arrays.2 In addition to leveraging the ease-of-use and
all-inclusive software model native to EqualLogic, users can
benefit from:
- Four different EqualLogic PS-M4110
Blade Array configurations and the ability to store up to 14
terabytes of data per array, up to 28 terabytes per group inside a
blade chassis, and up to 56 terabytes with two groups inside one
blade chassis
- Unique peer-scaling architecture that
allows for simultaneous scalability of performance and capacity
within and outside the blade chassis
- The ability to scale outside the
chassis to more than two petabytes of storage in a single group and
provide approximately double the usable capacity of a competitive
solution inside the chassis 2
- EqualLogic set-up and deployment
capabilities closely integrated with the blade chassis management
console
- Flexibility with blade arrays that fit
into any slot within the blade chassis
- Centralized monitoring and reporting
tools that gather and provide in-depth information on performance,
capacity and alerts across multiple groups of arrays, enabling
improved performance and effective allocation of group
resources
- Advanced data protection, such as
snapshots, clones and replicas, and advanced integration with
Microsoft, VMware and Linux platforms wrapped into every
solution
- Support for multi-generational
EqualLogic systems, allowing existing SAN arrays to receive
continuous advancements and capabilities as storage and business
requirements grow.
Combining the new EqualLogic blade arrays with the latest Dell
PowerEdge 12th generation M420 blade servers and Dell Force10 MXL
switches, Dell also announced the first pre-tested and certified
Dell Converged Blade Data Center solution, a simplified and dense,
end-to-end, 10GbE data center contained within a single Dell
PowerEdge M1000e blade chassis.
With the convergence of Dell technologies, customers can support
up to 48 percent more Microsoft SQL, Microsoft Exchange and
Microsoft SharePoint users and up to 42 more users per watt of
power compared to a competitive blade server and storage offering.3
Additionally, Dell’s converged solution is notably easier to
deploy, with 55 percent fewer major configuration steps to set-up
storage alone.2
With the new Dell Converged Blade Data Center solution,
customers additionally can benefit from:
- A compact, shared footprint that
reduces the need for excessive licenses, space, cable configuration
and power and cooling costs
- Flexible Dell Force10 MXL networking
switches, scalable for 1GbE, 10GbE or 40GbE using interchangeable
FlexIO modules
- The PowerEdge M420, the world’s only
quarter height 2-socket blade server, offering extreme
computational density, performance and efficiency
- End-to-end 10GbE Data Center Bridging
(DCB) that enables fabric convergence to help reduce costs as well
as enhance quality of service through Ethernet
- An integrated approach to
infrastructure management that allows administrators to manage the
underlying Dell server and storage hardware from their familiar
VMware or Microsoft management consoles.
The new EqualLogic Blade Arrays and Dell Converged Blade Data
Center solution are complemented by new releases of EqualLogic
software that tightly integrate SANs with hosts and applications.
With an all-inclusive software licensing model, EqualLogic storage
systems include all supporting software applications and tools
without additional licensing fees. New software releases
include:
- EqualLogic Array Software 6.0 -
provides real-time data protection with synchronous replication,
improved data security, and increased efficiency with snapshot
borrowing, volume unmap, and volume undelete features
