13 Dell XC hyper-converged advantages Choice: Broad portfolio of enterprise class infrastructure Innovation: Optimized hardware and monitoring Reliability and assurance: Global services and support Dell value-add End-to-end solutions and reference architectures for enterprise workloads Research and development (R&D) collaboration across divisions to increase performance and maximize uptime Improved system management by driving software changes in partner s stack API-based provisioning, monitoring, management and recovery Global supply chain management improves product availability and quality assurance 13

14 Dell XC Series with Nutanix deliver measurable value $ 58 % lower total cost of ownership over 5 years* 27 % lower cost than traditional solutions for desktop virtualization** 510 % average 5 year ROI* 71 % less time required for ongoing management* Up to 53 % 6X faster time to value 0 downtime upgrades* less power and 69 % less data center space* Payback period as short as 7.5 months* 14 Sources: *IDC Quantifying the Business Value of Dell XC Powered by Nutanix Software August 2015 and ** Wikibon

15 Benefits of hyper-converged infrastructure Efficiencies and cost reduction Infrastructure and operational costs Industry-standard hardware Avoid over-provisioning Pay as you grow scalability Less rack space, power, cooling Improved IT productivity Faster and easier to deploy Less complex skills needed to manage Fewer resources for admin to learn decreasing training and cross-train Risk mitigation Highly resilient architecture reduces downtime Fewer downtime events and interoperability issues Non-disruptive upgrades improve system and application availability Business agility Shorter development cycles for applications and services Faster response to changing business conditions Deploy infrastructure on demand 15

17 Accelerating innovation Opportunity: Williams constantly needs to refine its IT services to provide employees with the best solutions for competitive advantage. Solution: Williams worked with Dell on two separate projects. First to migrate its and instant messaging to Microsoft Office 365 and second to install Dell XC Series web-scale hyperconverged appliances in its trackside and factory VDI environments. Results: Migration on time, within budget and with 99 percent user satisfaction Hyper-converged architecture lets engineers access data in seconds instead of minutes for trackside analysis Simplified management frees up days of staff time to make crucial upgrades elsewhere Compact trackside infrastructure saves $150,000 on freight fees each season Dell ProSupport Plus is excellent. For example, we needed a replacement power supply for a server when we were trackside in Brazil. By the time the engineers got back to their hotel that evening there was a replacement waiting. Phil Cooper, IT Infrastructure Manager, Williams 17

18 Improve VDI management, scalability and security Opportunity: The Department of Justice (DoJ) required a client virtualization solution with simplified deployment, provided scale out options, improved management and maintained high security capabilities. Solution: Unclassified VDI deployment 600+ Dell XC for VDI appliances Dell Networking Dell AppAssure data protection software VMware ESXi VMware Horizon 6 50,000 named users within FBI Results: Expanded the global footprint Lower total cost of ownership and faster time to value Simplified VDI management Increased user mobility As a trusted technology provider to federal agencies for more than 20 years, Dell is committed to providing its government customers with the tools they need to solve complex problems with efficient and effective IT solutions.
