Join us to see for yourself the possibilities for simplifying your operations and accelerating the deployment of your own corporate cloud

The needs of your business and your users are evolving; transforming your IT practices has not only become essential but unavoidable. The search for greater agility, speed, and efficiency is now bringing many companies to consider the hyperconverged approach.

“Based on VMware vSAN, the Dell EMC VxRail Appliance is the first and only appliance on the market offering complete VMware integration for implementing Software-Defined Data Centre projects.”
The PCD Solutions team launched the TechnoLab Sessions to fulfill its mission to inform IT professionals in Quebec about technological innovations related to the cloud and the deployment of the SDDC model.

VMware and Dell/EMC have become known for their ability to innovate and collaborate. Both companies are particularly responsive to business needs and preferences and are working to develop a series of joint initiatives including the Dell/EMC VxRAIL family of hyperconverged solutions that help simplify your operations, make the evolution of your infrastructures more predictable and modular, and prepare you for the possibilities of IT automation.

 

Attend the session to learn about the trend towards hyper-converged systems and the massive adoption of VMware vSAN technology
