Dell Active System
Active System is the newest converged infrastructure offering within the Active Infrastructure family, and leverages Dell innovations including unified management, converged LAN/SAN fabrics and bladed form factors for the ultimate converged infrastructure system that can be easily deployed and operated in a unified manner.
The first pre-integrated offering from Active System is the Active System 800. In addition to Active System Manager for intuitive infrastructure management, and PowerEdge I/O Aggregator for simplified networking and a converged fabric (DCB over iSCSI), Active System 800 incorporates EqualLogic PS-6110 storage showcasing fluid data, PowerEdge M620 blade servers for modular compute, all inside the most power efficient blade chassis on the market today, the M1000e. It provides an ideal foundation for private cloud, and comes complete with turnkey integration services and unified single-number support.
Key to Active System is Active System Manager 7.0 that provides an intuitive, automated, template-based experience for the deployment, orchestration and lifecycle management of physical and virtualized converged infrastructure. It streamlines management across the Active System 800.
