A validated blueprint is a build scheme that specifies how Dell uses software and automation to deploy a specific third-party software on your infrastructure. It is the fundamental tool that defines the components with associated parameters for assembly, taking your hardware from ready-to-deploy to a fully realized private cloud.
What makes a blueprint validated is that, once a blueprint has been structured and created for a specific software deployment, it is then rigorously tested by Dell’s experts across different Dell hardware stacks to ensure a seamless, reliable, and successful process for our customers.
As part of Dell Private Cloud, users are able to access Dell's curated catalog of validated blueprints for fast, easy, proven private cloud deployments.
