Another Tier-1 Converged Infrastructure Option

The drum continues to beat for converged infrastructure products, and Dell has given it the latest thump with the introduction of vStart, a pre-integrated environment for VMware. Best thought of as a competitor to VCE, the integrated VMware, Cisco and EMC virtualization stack, vStart combines:

• Dell PowerEdge R610 and R710 rack servers
• Dell EqualLogic PS6000XV storage
• Dell PowerConnect Ethernet switches
• Preinstalled VMware (trial) software & Dell management extensions
• Dell factory and onsite services
