Taking It to the Edge with Dell VxRail Satellite Nodes

As part of the ongoing innovation of the Dell EMC VxRail solution, VxRail is introducing new ways to operationalize the edge, extending environments by announcing the VxRail satellite node designed for single node use cases. This addition expands VxRail hyperconverged infrastructure deployment models to allow for workload consolidation with automated and standardized management across distributed edge sites.

Overview
Edge computing is evolving to take on a new meaning. Many organizations are looking to the edge to drive more business results as opposed to the traditional model of transacting data back to the core. Viewing the edge as part of the entire business ecosystem is key to the overall success of any business. Contemporary organizations usually encompass many remote locations, which often require their own management systems, making these locations siloed from the core operations. This makes it difficult for the organization to understand its own edge environment and the impact it can have on running the business. However, today there are solutions such as VxRail at the edge, usually still connected to the core, that have common operations and a centralized management. This type of deployment addresses both centralized management and the power of unified HCI, but this may be more than some customers need.
