Just last month it announced an update and expansion of the VxBlock 1000, including higher scalability, a broader choice of components, and the option to add new technologies. CI sales fell 6.4% year over year, while the market for hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) grew 57.2% year over year.įor the unfamiliar, the primary difference between converged and hyperconverged infrastructure is that CI relies on hardware building blocks, while HCI is software-defined and considered more flexible and scalable than CI and operates more like a cloud system with resources spun up and down as needed.ĭespite this, Dell is committed to CI systems. But IDC's April edition of the Converged Systems Tracker said the CI category is on the downswing. “This means we’ll continue to share product roadmaps and collaborate on strategic development activities, with Cisco investing in a range of Dell EMC sales, marketing and training initiatives to support VxBlock 1000.”ĭell EMC cites IDC research that it holds a 48% market share in converged systems, nearly 1.5 times that of any other vendor. “The newly inked agreement entails continued company alignment across multiple organizations: executive, product development, marketing, and sales,” Manca wrote in the blog post. The lineup has been pared down to one device, the VxBlock 1000. VCE was retired in favor of new brands, VxBlock, VxRail, and VxRack. Technology now makes it possible to work from almost anywhere and Dell’s Connected Workplace program allows eligible team members to do just that, by choosing the work style that best fulfills their needs on the job and in their personal lives.

The devices offered UCS servers and networking from Cisco, EMC storage, and VMware virtualization software in pre-configured, integrated bundles. We have options that will work for you and fit your budget. EMC bought out Cisco’s stake in the venture before Dell bought EMC. The deal is centered around Dell EMC’s VxBlock product line, which originally started out in 2009 as a joint venture between EMC and Cisco called VCE (Virtual Computing Environment).

The news was announced via a blog post by Pete Manca, senior vice president for solutions engineering at Dell EMC. Dell EMC and Cisco have renewed a collaboration on converged infrastructure (CI) products that has run for more than a decade, even as the momentum shifts elsewhere.
