Vblock Data Centre solutions
Integrated IT offerings that combine best-in-class
networking, storage, security, and management.
A Vblock is an integrated IT offering from the Virtual Computing
Environment (VCE) coalition. They combines best-in-class networking
compute, storage, security and management solutions. Rather than
assembling individual components, customers can now purchase them
as Vblock Integrated Infrastructure Packages:
- Vblock 0: An entry-level configuration
supporting 300-800 virtual machines, bringing the benefits of
private clouds within reach of medium-sized businesses and small
data centres. Vblock 0 is comprised of a repeatable model
leveraging Cisco's UCS and Nexus 1000v, EMC's Unified Storage
(secured by RSA), and the VMware vSphere platform.
- Vblock 1: A mid-sized configuration supporting
800-3,000 virtual machines to deliver a broad range of IT
capabilities to organisations of all sizes. Designed for
consolidation and optimisation initiatives, Vblock 1 leverages
Cisco's UCS, Nexus 1000v and MDS, EMC's CLARiiON storage (secured
by RSA), and the VMware vSphere platform.
- Vblock 2: A high-end configuration supporting
3,000-6,000 virtual machines that is completely extensible to meet
the most demanding IT needs of large enterprises and service
providers. Designed for large-scale and 'green field'
virtualisation, Vblock 2 takes advantage of Cisco's UCS, Nexus
1000v and Multilayer Directional Switches (MDS), EMC's Symmetrix
V-Max storage (secured by RSA), and the VMware vSphere
platform.
