You can have a faster, more efficient and lower-risk solution for converged infrastructure. You know the old drill for infrastructure upgrade: design, procurement, deployment and testing consumes months of your valuable time. And even then, your resulting solution yields a mix of different architectures. Interoperability and application performance issues persist, and ultimately your total cost of ownership only increases.

But there’s good news: You can have a faster, more efficient and lower-risk solution for converged infrastructure. Dell’s pre-integrated Active Infrastructure gives you the benefit of our extensive enterprise experience, knowledge and relationships with leading virtualization providers. We leverage this expertise in packaged solutions that are pre-engineered, preassembled and pretested — and include on-site deployment services.

Our pre-integrated Active Infrastructure allows you to deploy new architecture on a just-in-time basis, while also standardizing your infrastructure. You get a complete and balanced system that includes the entire infrastructure you need for application and private cloud services. And Active Infrastructure offers the flexibility of different, scalable starting points so you can leverage your existing data center fabric.

Our pre-integrated models offer a choice of VMware® ESX-based or Microsoft® Hyper-V™-based virtualization. And we offer Active Solution Architectures for private cloud, Virtual Device Interface (VDI) and applications.
