VBLOCK SYSTEM 200—TAILORED FOR GROWING MID-SIZED BUSINESSES Vblock™ System 200 provides the world’s most advanced converged infrastructure, tailored to the needs of fast-growing mid-sized businesses and remote offices of distributed enterprises. The system offers desirable flexibility and simplicity through a variety of configurations—with some designed to deliver maximum compute capabilities and others supplying maximum storage capacity.

The unique design of Vblock System 200 ensures that you’ll have an intelligently managed, dynamic pool of resources that’s ideal for supporting virtualized and cloud computing environments. You can efficiently and cost-effectively run your entire IT operation on the system or integrate it with other Vblock Systems in a corporate data center—while reducing costly complexity and enhancing your business agility.

Enterprise-Scale Advantages for Mid-Sized Data Centers With Vblock System 200, you get a reliable, continuously available infrastructure that can more than keep pace with your increasing needs and offer a proven path to the benefits of virtualization and cloud computing.

Data Center-Class Capabilities—Vblock System 200 efficiently handles any mixed-workload requirements in a mid-sized data center. It delivers the power and capacity needed for core IT services from file, print, and domain applications to a widespread virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) or real-time collaboration solutions. Cisco UCS rack servers ensure the high availability and performance to support your mission-critical applications. In addition, EMC VNX unified storage and Fibre Channel I/O are optimized for a virtualized environment and high-bandwidth solutions such as unified communications.

Best-in-Class Components—Vblock Systems incorporate best-in-class components from category leaders Cisco, EMC, and VMware. These components are tightly integrated to ensure seamless operation and management as a single converged infrastructure—for the highest levels of virtualization and application performance.

Agility to Move Quickly—Business won’t wait today. Vblock System 200 gives you a critical competitive edge. Systems are pre-integrated, pre-tested, and validated in controlled VCE factory environments so they arrive at your loading dock within 45 days of order—and can be fully deployed in hours or days. Unlike a multi-vendor integrated system or reference architecture, the truly converged infrastructure of the Vblock System 200 provides unmatched adaptability and business value. Your IT team will spend significantly less time racking and stacking components and dealing with other time-consuming tasks, and can focus instead on applying technology to address critical business needs and identify opportunities that drive additional revenues to your business.

Clear Future Roadmap—Because of the close relationship VCE has with Cisco, EMC, and VMware, Vblock Systems remain in sync with the latest product roadmaps. Configuration management, upgrades, and planning for firmware and software releases are easily directed to ensure maximum system performance and reliability.
