VMware Doubles Size of EVO:RAIL Clusters

VMware has doubled the number of virtual devices that can be configured using VMware EVO: RAIL software, ranging from four to eight of a total of 32 nodes in a single cluster.Mornay van der Walt, Vice EVO: RAIL Group VMware says that eventually EVO: lane change radically the focus of data center server to cases of hyper converged virtual devices.

"Instead of thinking in the server context, we are trying to make people embrace devices," said van der Walt. "The goal is to be able to climb using a series of reliable and repeatable processes."
In the third quarter of this year, van der Walt, said VMware expand the size of an EVO: RAIL Group making use of the newly introduced VMware vSphere 6 VMware virtualization and VSAN 6 platforms in order to provide even higher levels of scale .

Basically, he says, EVO: RAIL change the delivery model and consumption around the IT infrastructure in the data center. These devices are not only easier to scale, but also provide a noninvasive method for the introduction of patches and updates in the environment. As a result, the overall cost of maintaining data center environments is greatly reduced.

EVO: RAIL appliances are actually building blocks that IT organizations will have to rely to make the transition to the distribution of data center software defined depending him.Of course, as with any technology transition, There is a learning curve involved in the transition to EVO: RAIL. The worst that IT organizations can do, says van der Walt, you are treated as a server.

IT organizations must ensure that the network is configured properly before installation. But once you get past the initial deployment, each device can be configured to be automatically included in an existing cluster or be deployed as a basic element of a new EVO: RAIL lot.VMware is not the only supplier that paints a picture of a bright future SDDC. But in terms of IT skills management VMware it is clearly among those later. The challenge IT organizations to identify not only the speed at which you want to make the transition to a SDDC world but also how much they rely on a single vendor to get there.
