1 Abstract Transform IT with Vblock: Powered by Cisco and Dell EMC innovation In this session, you ll learn how Vblock Systems deliver operational simplicity, application centricity, and continuous innovation to the datacenter. We will describe how the differentiated technologies inside a Vblock Systems deliver superior programmability, scalability and automation. The results are operational simplicity and business agility, which are essential for virtualization, cloud computing, and deploying IT-as-a-Service. Find out why infrastructure matters and how Vblock Systems based on Cisco and Dell EMC products can decrease costs, enhance scalability, and improve performance. 1
