Converged Infrastructure Components

Tired of Ethernet cables with serial numbers? Shouldn't standards-based systems just work together? Dell thinks so. The soul of our intelligent infrastructure is the freedom it offers — you choose your own IT components.

You can automate the infrastructure you already have with Dell™ Advanced Infrastructure Manager (AIM) software. The servers, storage and networking assets in your data center today become a single, automated resource pool, connected over an efficient fabric of 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

Get centralized, policy-based management over workloads running on all your IT assets:

• Blade, rack and tower servers
• Fiber Channel and Internet SCSI (iSCSI) storage area networks (SANs)
• A wide range of popular network switches
• All of the most popular hypervisors

When you need to scale your processing or storage, you can scale your capabilities too. We are integrating the Dell AIM software with the advanced management features of our Dell 11th-generation (11G) PowerEdge™ servers to make adding servers to your processing pool easier than ever.

When it comes to successfully developing, implementing and operating your infrastructure management solution, these professional services from Dell can be as important as the hardware and software components:

• Dell ProConsult™ services can help you assess, plan, design and implement your infrastructure management project.
• Dell Managed Services can put infrastructure management experts in charge of the day-to-day operation of your solution.

Whether it's getting more from the hardware you already own, improving your application availability and reliability or ramping up your IT capacity, we give you what you need to drive efficiency in your data center.
