vStart: Drive agility and efficiency through virtualization and private clouds

Dell vStart 200, 100 and 50

Dell vStart 200, 100 and 50

Take the rapid, low-risk path to virtualization or private clouds. Dell™ vStart gives you pre-integrated solutions for any size business: from small deployments to enterprise-class private clouds. If you’ve looked for ways to increase the efficiency and agility of your organization, you may have considered virtualization and private clouds. You know that they streamline IT, but you also know that implementation comes with its own set of costs and complications. We can help.

Reliability and scalability = value now and value later
Leveraging Dell’s extensive experience in virtualization solutions, vStart scales both vertically and horizontally and includes redundancies that give you a highly reliable platform. Dell vStart becomes your dedicated partner that grows with your growing needs. And unlike multivendor solutions, vStart gives you a single point of accountability through Dell’s world-class support organization.

Enable rapid virtualization with Dell vStart 200, 100 or 50
Powered by our 12th-generation PowerEdge rack-mounted servers, our Dell vStart virtualized infrastructure solutions give you proven, pre-engineered, prebuilt and pretested components — server, storage, network and management — that leverage VMware® vSphere™ and Microsoft® Hyper-V™ virtualization platforms. Integrated Dell Management Software lets you manage your infrastructure easily and without additional consoles or interfaces to learn, and our included initial Deployment Services get your system up and running right away.

vStart 1000: The enterprise-class solution for private clouds and mission-critical applications
Your business depends on your applications, and today’s resource-hungry applications can push the limits of your infrastructure. Take your data center to the next level with the control and customization that a pool of dedicated resources gives you. And put an end to the times when your staff waits days, or even weeks, to access the IT assets they need.

We’ve engineered vStart 1000 from the ground up to enable private clouds and host mission-critical applications. With top-of-the-line infrastructure — Dell PowerEdge blades, Dell Compellent Fibre Channel storage and Dell Force10 networking — vStart 1000 gives you a highly reliable, highly scaled, high-performance platform from which to drive your organization’s goals.

Available in configurations for either Microsoft Hyper-V or VMware vSphere, the vStart 1000 can have 8, 16, 24 or 32 blades, and with the integrated Dell Management Software, you control the underlying infrastructure to deliver advanced private cloud capabilities that include:
  • Infrastructure as a service
  • Self-service IT asset provisioning
  • VM sprawl control
  • Detailed audit reports, including showback
Validated against Microsoft Private Cloud Fast Track reference architecture, the vStart 1000 instantly gives you two choices for building your private cloud. And, as all vStart solutions do, the vStart 1000 gives you a pre-engineered, pre-integrated platform that accelerates time-to-value and delivers a reliable, scalable environment. Add to that the initial Deployment Services of vStart, and you’re up and running quickly, so you can remain focused on what’s important — your business and your customers.
