VCE VSCALE™ ARCHITECTURE ULTIMATE FLEXIBILITY, AGILITY, AND ASSURANCE Applications are constantly evolving. New types of applications—including “third-platform” applications for social and mobile computing, cloud services, big data, and the Internet of Things—can grow to hundreds of thousands of virtual servers. These new applications as well as traditional mission-critical applications impose new kinds of demands on IT infrastructure.

Remaining agile in a time of flux requires a highly flexible data-center infrastructure. It needs to adapt to business change without compromising availability, security, operational simplicity, or total cost of ownership. VCE redefines the category of “converged” by applying its industry-leading system-level convergence to data center and scale-out architectures and introduces Vscale architecture for the juncture of mission-critical and the emerging cloud, big data, mobile, and social applications. This innovative architecture delivers ultimate agility, simplicity, and assurance adapting to the varying applications, scale, and flexibility needs for customers’ diverse operational models. Key Features and Capabilities VCE Vscale™ is an innovative, modular, scale-out architectural framework for data centers. It delivers VCE’s industry-leading experience to support second-platform applications as well as new third-platform applications for cloud, social, mobile, and big data. VCE Vscale changes the way IT infrastructure is designed and built. The main characteristics of VCE Vscale architectures include Shared Resource Pools

VCE Vscale architecture enables large-scale resource abstraction and pooling, orchestration, and allocation. Customers can add Vblock® Systems, VxBlock™ Systems, VCE Vscale™ Blocks to the scalable spine-leaf fabric to provide shared compute and networking resources for applications.

Unified Intelligence

VCE Vision™ Intelligent Operations software enables efficient multi-system management and converged operations at scale. It consists of a lower-priced VCE Vision™ software core with flexible new add-on packages to drive specific business outcomes.

Hybrid Cloud

VCE Vscale architecture offers an easy on-ramp and off-ramp to the EMC Enterprise Hybrid Cloud.

Clear Migration Path

Customers can combine multiple VCE Vscale modular components to easily expand compute, storage, and networking capabilities. An optional spine-leaf topology makes it possible

to aggregate all of these resources into a larger system without compromising performance.

Traditional VCE Benefits

VCE continues to improve availability, resiliency, performance, and security by leveraging industry-leading technologies as well as our extensive know-how and best practices.

VCE helps customers gain a competitive edge by accelerating time-to-market and innovation. All VCE Vscale portfolio products are pre-architected, engineered, manufactured in the VCE factory, and tested before installation at customer sites. This approach simplifies operations, increases agility, and reduces operational expense.

VCE Vscale architecture is flexible and scalable. It takes a modular approach, with Vblock Systems or VxBlock Systems as the simplest configuration. Additional modules can be added to scale out the design, and to meet any application requirements in the data center.

VCE VSCALE™ ARCHITECTURE enables customers to

• Optimize resources for changing application needs, leveraging VCE’s expanded portfolio of converged infrastructure products.

• Adopt an evolutionary approach for IT and business transformation, maximizing ROI by building on and evolving their existing VCE infrastructure and investments.

• Easily adopt a hybrid cloud strategy that aligns with business needs through the innovative VCE™ Foundation solution and complementary Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud.

• Continue to enjoy the industry-best VCE life cycle management and assurance for greater IT productivity and better customer experience.

• Vblock System—This is an independent system comprising compute and networking from Cisco, storage from EMC, and virtualization from VMware. A self-contained RCM is associated with a Vblock System.

• VxBlock System—This is an independent system comprising storage from EMC, and compute, networking, and virtualization from Cisco, VMware, or other vendors. Optional SDN choices include VMware NSX and/or Cisco ACI. A self-contained RCM is associated with a VxBlock System.

• VCE™ Technology Extensions—This is a compute and/or storage resource type that expands a Vblock System, VxBlock System, or VCE Vscale Block.

• VCE Vscale™ Fabric—The spine-leaf fabric connects all VCE modular resource systems and blocks. The VCE Vscale Fabric is governed by its own RCM, which is separate from any VCE system RCMs.

• VCE Vscale Block—This is a resource component for the VCE Vscale framework. There are two types: VCE Vscale Block with Compute Extension and Vscale Block with Storage Extension.

• VCE VxRack™ System—This is a rack-scale hyper-converged infrastructure system with integrated compute, software-defined storage, networking and virtualization. A self-contained RCM is associated with a VxRack System.

• VCE Vscale™ Management Platform—This is the device manager for hardware within VCE systems. It provides the centralized data-center-wide management platform for the VCE Vscale architecture.

• VCE Vision Intelligent Operations software—This is a VCE software tool that manages the RCM across VCE systems and data-center components. It expands VCE Vision software to provide unified intelligence across all VCE Systems, enabling efficient multi-system management and converged operations at scale. It monitors system and component health, performance and capacity; provides network and fault isolation; and eliminates resource overhead

Agility and Flexibility • Optimal Resource pools—

modularized building blocks maximize design and implementation flexibility, allowing customers to create data centers based on their application needs and budget. A logical pool of compute and storage resources allow for on-demand and the most optimal resources utilization, which can be shared among various applications based on symmetric or asymmetric compute and storage scaling needs.

• Grow-as-needed consumption model—VCE Vscale architecture-based data center can easily scale up and scale out through the expanded multi-system architecture and modular building blocks.

• Simplified converged managed and operations at scale —VCE Vision Intelligent Operations software provides the cross-system visibility essential for the management of converged infrastructure across multiple data centers and spanning geographic locations. VCE Vision is delivered with consistent base software across VCE Systems, and with multiple add-on packages designed for specific business outcomes.
