Dell EMC VxRail direction from Michael Dell

It's not good news for users of Dell VxRail…..

As Michael Dell recently described, Dell EMC VxRail is “no longer a thing, it was a thing a couple of years ago but it’s a lot less of a thing now” said as Dell shifts its strategic focus towards Dell Private Cloud offerings and other Dell solutions.

At the same time, Dell’s own support lifecycle and EOSL policies show that multiple VxRail platforms and code trains are reaching end of support, with no option to renew once contracts have expired, with VxRail perpetual licenses and some renewal options being removed from purchase completely.

It is clear that for many customers this means:

- Support contracts will end

- There is no renewal path offered by Dell

- There is pressure for transition to Dell Private Cloud

But these are not the only options for your hyperconverged “Data Centre in a box”.

Baby Blue provides full, independent support for all elements of Dell EMC VxRail environments, which includes the compute server hardware, the storage hardware, the networking elements and even the VM software support.

With our expert support you can:

- Extend the life of existing VxRail platforms

- Avoid unnecessary capital spend

- Maintain stability and operational confidence after Dell support ends

- Resist the pressure of being being forced on to the Dell Private Cloud

So, if your VxRail support expires anytime in the next 12 months, you should be reviewing all your alternatives now and not when the contract ends.

Contact Baby Blue IT to secure a third-party maintenance support path before Dell’s deadline becomes your problem.

Plan early. Save money. Stay in control.
