Michael Dell, CEO of the company that’s preparing to take over EMC, said on Monday that bringing Dell and EMC products under one roof will give customers a one-stop shop for next-generation technologies. The battle between complexity and simplicity is one theme of this week’s annual EMC World user conference in Las Vegas, where the VxRack Neutrino is being announced on Tuesday. “You no longer have an erector set,” Keegan said.

Native Hybrid Cloud takes VCE’s converged technology one step further by adding development tools on top of it. An ESG survey of more than 300 IT decision-makers showed that 32 percent had already implemented converged systems and 56 percent were planning to do so. It will be available in the third quarter.Įnterprises are flocking to systems that come preconfigured with computing, storage and networking because they don’t want to be responsible for systems integration, Enterprise Strategy Group analyst Colm Keegan said. It’s designed as a quick-to-deploy system on which developers can build, deploy and scale applications. The VxRack System 1000 starts at US$300,000.Īlso on Tuesday, EMC announced Native Hybrid Cloud, a turnkey developer system that includes the CloudFoundry developer platform on top of the VxRack System 1000. Photon and Hadoop support will come next year. Customers will be able to order VxRacks with Neutrino Nodes and OpenStack support beginning in the third quarter. EMC estimates a Neutrino rack will take one day to get up and running.

The rack of Neutrino nodes can also maintain the various software stacks by itself, applying patches and updates without the user’s help, Burton said. It’s the third type of node introduced for the VxRack cloud chassis. Each node includes computing, networking and storage hardware, plus the Neutrino software.
