Converged Infrastructure Products and Services

Adopt converged infrastructure that simplifies operations with intuitive systems management, a standards-based approach, flexibility of deployment and a comprehensive support experience. The Active Infrastructure family combines servers, storage, networking and infrastructure systems management into integrated solutions that give you general-purpose virtualized resource pools for applications, virtual desktop infrastructure and private clouds.

We give you three means to deploy our Dell Active Infrastructure family:

• Pre-integrated Systems that provide pre-engineering, testing and assembly. These systems are highly reliable and scalable platforms that combine our extensive experience and industry best practices. And because you can order and deploy them rapidly, you get the highest value in the shortest time.
• Active Platform Architectures that give you ideal designs created for accelerated adoption so you get optimal infrastructure efficiency and performance.
• Active System Matrix that helps you implement tailored yet integrated converged infrastructure solutions according to your specific use cases or requirements.

We also provide Active Solution Architectures optimized with Active Infrastructure for private cloud, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) or application initiatives.

Active System, the newest member of our Active Infrastructure family, simplifies convergence with features like:

• Modular infrastructure
  • The PowerEdge M1000e blade chassis, home to the world's most power-efficient blade servers for the past three generations
  • Gain control over your most demanding workloads with the PowerEdge M620 blade server: an ideal blend of density, performance, efficiency and scalability 
  • The industry's only fully redundant, advanced storage array designed for a blade chassis: Dell EqualLogic Blade Array PS-M4110
• PowerEdge M I/O Aggregator
  • Simplifies blade chassis networking by pushing advanced networking features to the top-of-rack switch
  • Is easy to deploy and manage because it is built specifically for the blade chassis administrator
  • Maximizes intra-chassis traffic with 10GbE, east/west capabilities while also reducing the number of cables and the number of required top-of-rack ports
• Active System Manager 7.0
  • Collapses tools and automates common tasks
  • Enforces consistency and ensures quality with infrastructure and workload deployment
  • Streamlines management across the entire infrastructure lifecycle from discovery through decommissioning

In addition, we offer a full range of IT services that can help you to implement Active Infrastructure.
