Virtual Integrated System

Integrated doesn’t stop with racks and cables

Dell’s Efficient Data Center strategy can help you radically lower the costs of provisioning and operating your entire data center. With Dell’s Virtual Integrated System, we have developed and packaged the technology required to streamline not only infrastructure but also end-to-end application deployment and workload management. You can reduce data center complexity while continuing to leverage the IT investments you already have made.

VIS enables you to build infrastructure to real needs, not to “worst-case scenario + 50 percent.”
By spanning the IT continuum from hardware deployment to application rollouts and tying everything to business outcomes, VIS helps solve one of the most expensive and problematic challenges facing today’s IT organization: infrastructure built to “worst case scenario plus 50 percent”. With a VIS solution, you can dynamically allocate resources to where they are needed, scaling up or down, to more closely match the variability of your workloads. The result: better utilization from what you’ve already purchased, and the ability to reduce the number of future infrastructure purchases, as you end once and for all the waste of building infrastructure you don’t need.

The Virtual Integrated System is divided into three logical building blocks, each designed to add additional efficiency in the data center.

VIS Infrastructure: Deploy infrastructure in minutes rather than weeks or months.
VIS Infrastructure creates a standard-based hardware infrastructure that deploys servers, storage and networking as a single pool of resources and enables management across your virtual and physical assets through a single console. Featuring embedded intelligence, efficient fabric, purpose-built servers and cloud-aware infrastructure, every aspect of VIS Infrastructure is designed to compress the time it takes to deploy or reallocate and manage new and existing hardware in your data center.

VIS Integration Suite: Eliminate up to two-thirds of the consoles used to manage hardware and infrastructure management.
VIS deployments work in multi-vendor environments but if you already have Dell products, VIS Integration Suite enables industry-leading console efficiency by integrating your existing Dell management tools (hardware management and infrastructure management) into the virtual machine management console of your choice (VMware® Vsphere™ Management Console, Microsoft® MSVMM or XenCenter®). With VIS Integration Suite, you can efficiently manage even large environments with a minimal number of tools.

VIS Delivery Center: Reduce the time it takes to deploy new business applications by 50 percent.
Dell’s VIS Delivery Center compresses the time it takes to deploy new business applications by standardizing and automating the way you deploy application workloads. With it, your team can create a self-service portal for application workloads that provides templates and monitoring tools so you can quickly and easily get the most out of your infrastructure investment.
