2 Introduction Remote office or branch office (ROBO) locations of larger businesses or organizations, as well as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are often presented with unique problems related to IT. IT environments at these locations typically include two or three virtualized servers, perhaps another for backup or standby, a shared external storage system, and a network switch or two. There are often different vendors represented and different technology generations the result of growth over time. As IT environments like these mature and expand, they become increasingly complicated, inefficient, and inflexible. The challenges they present include: Complexity caused by disparate systems: Maintaining and operating IT infrastructures consisting of point solutions from different vendors is inefficient and requires a lot of attention and maintenance, often to the detriment of core business demands. Complexity caused by multiple systems management tools: Managing server, storage, and network assets from different vendors that were added over time requires learning and using different management tools for different parts of the infrastructure. As a result, even simple changes require multiple steps, switching between multiple management tools and the hypervisor. This creates inefficiency and unnecessary churn as well as increasing the risk of incompatibility. Lack of fit: Many of the IT products being marketed as ROBO and small business solutions are re-packaged data center solutions that simply don t fit in the ROBO/small business environment in a number of ways, including: Physical size. Re-packaged data center solutions are typically too big for the space available. Acoustics. IT products designed for data centers create too much noise for office environments. Power and cooling. These solutions often require dedicated power and cooling systems. Management. In many ROBO and SME sites, IT is often managed as a secondary function by technically minded staff at small and medium business. ROBO and SME customers have stated the need for an integrated IT platform that offers server, storage, networking, and management in a single chassis that doesn t take up a lot of space or require dedicated power and cooling. Some IT vendors ROBO and SME customers have stated the need for an integrated IT platform that offers server, storage, networking, and management in a single chassis that doesn t take up a lot of space... 1

3 offer systems where components are simply brought together in a single box. However, what is really needed is a tightly integrated, converged IT system that is designed and optimized to address the requirements unique to ROBO and SME environments. Such a solution has not been available until now. Dell PowerEdge VRTX: An Integrated IT Platform for ROBO and SME Environments Inspired by Dell ROBO and SME customers who have experienced many of the issues discussed above, the Dell PowerEdge VRTX is a unique, integrated IT platform that revolutionizes and simplifies the way IT can be deployed at ROBO and SME locations. PowerEdge VRTX converges servers, storage, networking, and management into a compact tower chassis (or 5U when rack-mounted) that includes room to scale at an attractive price point. Servers: PowerEdge VRTX accommodates up to four PowerEdge server nodes. Customers have the option of the half-height, two-socket M520, which is optimized to support mainstream business applications; the half-height, two-socket M620, which delivers higher performance and is optimized for server virtualization; or the full-height, four-socket M820, which is a workhorse server for business-critical back-end databases and applications. Storage: PowerEdge VRTX users can choose to add up to 25 hard disk drives (48TB) of shared storage through SAS, NLSAS, or SAS SSD hot plug drives. This huge internal storage space provides ample room for most customers current needs, and capacity for growth into the future, helping to protect IT investments. By eliminating the need for external storage, VRTX also reduces cost and complexity associated with cabling, powering, and managing storage devices. Networking: PowerEdge VRTX simplifies networking and I/O with a built-in IO module for supporting Ethernet traffic to the server blades. At present the options include an 8 port 1Gb pass-through module or a 24 Port 1Gb switch. The 8 port pass through module offers 2 pass-through connections to each internal blade slot where the 24 port 1Gb switch option provides 16 internal ports (4 per blade slot) and 8 external ports to be used to uplink to the network. Management: PowerEdge VRTX includes several tools to make management easier. The Chassis Management Controller (CMC) for PowerEdge VRTX offers converged management of server nodes, storage, networking, and power in a unified tool, all in a single console. The OpenManage Essentials (OME) console monitors and manages distributed PowerEdge systems wherever they are on the network. And the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (idrac) with Lifecycle Controller allows for agent-free deployment, monitoring, updating, and maintenance of multiple VRTX systems servers from remote locations. This unified management not only reduces complexity and the potential for errors, but it also allows the management of multiple PowerEdge VRTX deployments from one tool, enabling businesses to save on the costs of time and travel for the IT staff as well. Business and organizations that deploy PowerEdge VRTX stand to gain a number of benefits. Not only does the integrated design of PowerEdge VRTX deliver easier IT management compared to disparate solutions for server, storage, networking, and management, but PowerEdge VRTX also takes up less space than traditional server, storage, and ROBO and SME locations are using PowerEdge VRTX because it delivers the simplicity, efficiency, and versatility they need from an IT platform. 2

4 networking installations. PowerEdge VRTX can be deployed in either a tower or rack configuration and it is designed to be non-disruptive in ROBO and SME environments, and runs no louder than a hallway conversation. In addition, a PowerEdge VRTX deployment requires no special power and cooling requirements and uses just four cables, including redundancy: two for power and two for networking. A traditional deployment of four servers along with storage and networking components requires 28 cables. Moreover, a TCO analysis by Principled Technologies found that PowerEdge VRTX offered 26% lower five-year TCO, $21,000 in savings, and a 33-month payback period compared to legacy tower servers. i When compared to a public cloud service, Principled Technologies found that PowerEdge VRTX had a 63% lower five-year TCO, $172,000 in savings, and a 13-month payback period. ii PowerEdge VRTX Use Cases ROBO and SME locations are using PowerEdge VRTX because it delivers the simplicity, efficiency, and versatility they need from an IT platform. Virtualization: ROBO and SME environments are using PowerEdge VRTX as a platform for enterpriseclass virtualization using either Microsoft Hyper-V or VMware vsphere. PowerEdge VRTX deploys rapidly and is a robust highavailability solution that protects all virtualized applications. The easy-to-use, integrated monitoring and management tools monitor both physical and virtual resources. Customers are also integrating the Comprehensive Data Protection of PowerEdge VRTX with reliable backup and recovery solutions to protect data in small business and ROBO environments. Hosting: Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 virtualized on PowerEdge VRTX demonstrates how this integrated platform, along with Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V, provides a resilient, virtualized architecture for critical application like . For remote offices of larger organizations, cross-site resiliency protects against a VRTX at one site experiencing an outage by enabling a second VRTX site to keep and other services up while the affected system is recovered. Small businesses are leveraging intra-site resiliency that allows PowerEdge VRTX to restart Exchange virtual machines from a failed server node to an available node through clustering. Finally, Hyper-V failover clustering with Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) enables administrators to keep applications like up and running even during scheduled maintenance. 3

5 Unified Communications & Collaboration: UCC provides , calendars, peer-to-peer conferencing, instant messaging, team sites, and file sharing to businesses of all sizes. PowerEdge VRTX can be deployed as a platform for Microsoft Exchange, Lync, and SharePoint Server 2013 to deliver a full suite of productivity tools to solve collaboration and productivity challenges. ROBO and small business locations have on-site control of their communications and content with PowerEdge VRTX, as well as efficient, centralized application management. Using a virtualized environment for consolidation and availability, and with near-continuous data protection, PowerEdge VRTX helps protect important business data and ensure applications are available when needed. Database Applications: Some organizations use PowerEdge VRTX as a backbone for enterprise-class database applications such as OLTP with Microsoft SQL Server In a configuration that includes four Dell PowerEdge M620 server nodes, virtualization with Microsoft Hyper-V, four 1Gb PCIe NICs, and 1Gb Ethernet pass through, PowerEdge VRTX allows small business and ROBO environments to host database applications on-premise without the cost and complexity of a data center. PowerEdge VRTX Success Stories Cadac Group of The Netherlands specializes in IT solutions that create, manage, and share digital design information. It builds its own software for improving and optimizing design processes, as well as document management. The company has 12 branches worldwide and is driving growth across Asia Pacific, Europe, and the U.S. Cadac Group needed to replace an existing backup and restore solution with one that helped increase productivity while also reducing administration and costs.
