New applications are producing more data than ever

More DATA

New applications are creating more data – 44 ZB will live in the datacenter by 2020, according to IDC1

Pace of CHANGE

Old storage technologies can’t keep up with the pace of change

New TECHNOLOGIES

They also can’t support new technologies that enable innovative services

Scaling to tomorrow’s business needs

Many are choosing software-defined storage (SDS) solutions for hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI). It delivers simpler, streamlined, scalable storage that is:

At a fraction of the cost of traditional, storage

high-performance flash-optimized hyper-converged built for any application

6

SDS + Hardware = Success

But “software defined” means hardware matters more than ever. Storage performance and ROI depend heavily on the performance and reliability of the hardware – that comes from a trusted partner who has your needs in mind.

Choosing the right technology

Reliable designs High-performance Integrated building blocks Easy to purchase Easy to deploy

Are you facing any of these challenges?

Hard to locate the source of a problem, making it hard to know who to call for help Takes too long to configure, test and validate Configuring new infrastructure can be complex

TRADITIONAL IT WAY OLD HABITS BLVD ALWAYS DONE IT THIS WAY WHY CHANGE ROAD

Most everyone

agrees …

complexity is IT Enemy #1

Why Dell EMC over the Competition

Convenient time savings

“…in terms of simplicity, ease

• f setup, and ease of

maintenance: Almost like night and day when compared to HPE’s comparable offerings.” 3

Known faster configurations

• On vSAN: PowerEdge FC430
• utperformed HPE solution by

more than 3X – with 4X better performance per watt1

• On SAP HANA: Dell EMC

holds several world records for performance2

Unified Sales and Technical Support

“The [Dell EMC] products were vastly easier to set up, Dell EMC was far more responsive to service requests and questions (hours compared to days or weeks for a response), and generally far less red tape with Dell EMC over HPE.” 4
