VCE is expanding the scope of converged infrastructure integration from physical hardware elements to include application and cloud infrastructure, driving an evolution from converged infrastructure to converged solutions.
 
VCE Vscale architecture is a “scale up” and “scale out” architecture that offers speed and simplicity at what VCE claims is data center scale. It leverages converged fabric to interconnect multiple converged infrastructure systems and data center elements, providing optimized, on-demand resource sharing.
 
VCE VxBlock Systems are a new family of converged infrastructure systems designed to enable greater flexibility in system components for customers. VCE VxBlock Systems will receive the same “VCE Experience” of factory-based pre-integration, pre-testing and pre-validation with seamless component-level updates, ongoing lifecycle assurance, and unified single-call support.
 
The first VxBlock System will be available either with Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) or VMware NSX as a customer choice for software-defined networking (SDN) functionality, along with Cisco networking and computing, EMC storage and data protection, and VMware virtualization and virtualization management.
 
VCE Vision Intelligent Operations 3.0 is a major update to the company’s converged infrastructure management software for delivering operational simplicity through a consistent, accurate, and common systems view. VCE Vision software capabilities have been expanded to provide unified intelligence across multiple VCE converged infrastructure systems – either independent or as part of a Vscale architecture – enabling efficient multi-system management and converged operations at scale.
