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

Why Dell EMC over the Competition
Convenient time
savings
“…in terms of simplicity, ease
of 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
outperformed 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
