The distributed nature of vertical applications ranging from retail locations to oil rigs to tactical military installations is driving a need for flexible, cost-sensitive infrastructure that can be managed by IT generalists. The new VMware HCI Acceleration Kit brings affordable enterprise infrastructure with familiar, common management from the data center to distributed environments. Powered by the award-winning VMware vSAN software, the new offering delivers server economics to enterprise storage environments with a unique VMware vSphere\u00ae-native architecture that can be deployed on a broad choice of hardware platforms certified by VMware vSAN ReadyLabs\u2122. The solution includes VMware vSphere and VMware vSAN standard licenses. The software licenses support single-socket vSAN ReadyNodes<\/a>, which are available from Dell, Fujitsu, Lenovo, NEC, and Supermicro today. The VMware HCI Acceleration Kit pricing starts at $7,852 per 3-node cluster and the software licenses allow unlimited virtual machines.These new HCI systems based on vSAN will help power edge analytics and enable on-prem deployments of the new VMware Pulse\u2122 IoT Center<\/a>\u2122 for Internet of Things (IoT) use cases. Read what partners have to say<\/a> about the new VMware HCI Acceleration Kit.<\/p>\n VMware Introduces New vSphere Scale-Out Edition<\/a> for Big Data and HPC Workloads<\/p>\n VMware vSphere Scale-Out\u2122 edition, a new solution in the vSphere product line aimed at Big Data and HPC workloads. VMware vSphere Scale-Out edition includes the features and functions most useful to Big Data and HPC workloads such as those provided by the core vSphere hypervisor and the vSphere Distributed Switch\u2122. This new solution also enables the ability to rapidly change and provision compute nodes. The solution will be offered at an attractive price point, optimized for Big Data and HPC environments.<\/p>\n VMware Validated Designs 4.1<\/a> Help Customers Implement Latest Software Releases<\/p>\n VMware Validated Designs 4.1 features a new, optional consolidated data center architecture for small footprint deployments in a single region.
