Here’s a quick overview of the Dell Software solutions that will be showcased at VMworld. Be sure to visit us at Dell booth # 1219 to learn more.
Performance Management
Dell Software just released the next generation of its Foglight® Virtualization Operations Management. The trio of products – Foglight™ for Virtualization, Enterprise and Standard Editions 7.0 and Foglight™ for Storage Management 3.0 – help businesses address a number of data center transformation challenges – from optimizing performance and efficiency in your virtual environment to solving end-to-end storage and virtualization challenges in complex and cloud based systems. Foglight APM will also be showcased and allows IT to see every step of a transaction for a complete picture of the end user’s experience with the application.
Backup and Restore
Without a data recovery solution in place, you could lose more than $5,000 a minute in downtime. NetVault addresses the needs of large IT environments, offering complete, reliable cross-platform protection for a wide range of platforms and applications.
AppAssure redefines backup and recovery with continuous protection and near-instant recovery of mission-critical data. AppAssure protects your workloads wherever they are – VM, physical or Cloud – and can recover from anywhere to anywhere. The PowerVault DL4000 appliance, powered by AppAssure, allows you to deploy comprehensive data and application backup and recovery. And the PowerVault DR4100 disk-based data protection appliance offers advanced de-duplication and compression capabilities to reduce the time and cost for backup and restore.
vRanger, Dell’s leading VMware data protection solution, provides comprehensive protection for both virtual and physical environments. vRanger enables customers to tackle the complexity of VMware protection by offering an efficient and scalable way to back up, replicate, and recover virtualized and physical machines.
Cloud Management
Through the recent acquisition of Enstratius, Dell offers an enterprise cloud management solution – Dell Multi-Cloud Manager – that enables organizations to manage and deploy applications across more than 20 of the leading public and private clouds and cloud platforms, including VMware’s vSphere and vCloud offerings.
Services
Dell Services is also being represented in the Dell Software area of the booth, as a cross-functional organization that offers a broad range of services throughout the customer ecosystem.
