      XC Family solutions consist of XC Series appliances, XC Core nodes, integrated Nutanix software, and Dell EMC PowerEdge servers with Intel Xeon processors to offer one of the industry’s most versatile and scalable HCI platforms. With factory-installed Nutanix software and a choice of hypervisors, XC Family systems can be deployed quickly for all virtualized workloads to reduce management complexity and total cost of ownership.

      Dell EMC has over 12 years of experience integrating hardware and software for appliances built with PowerEdge servers, including 3 generations of XC Family appliances and systems. That experience enables us to develop technologies that simplify and streamline common workflows performed throughout the product’s lifecycle, including:

      • Factory installation of the software stack and hypervisor
      • Software modules that deliver fast and seamless deployment
      • Tools developed specifically for HCI to simplify workflow orchestration across a cluster
      • 1-click software, firmware and hypervisor updates without downtime or disruption of cluster operations

      The bottom line for customers: rapid deployment, less time for routine management tasks, faster system restoration, and built-in, enterprise class hardware security. Why settle for anything less?

      DELL EMC XC FAMILY OF HYPERCONVERGED SYSTEMS

      XC Family products combine compute, storage and virtualization resources in 1U, 2U and 3U systems that can be configured to-order for specific use cases. Multiple applications in the datacenter can run on the same scalable and cost-effective XC platform, enabling IT organizations to shift from supporting operations to delivering innovations that add business value. With a choice of industry-leading hypervisors, application and virtualization teams can quickly fulfill new service requests for all virtualized workloads, including:

      • Enterprise business applications
      • Microsoft® SQL Server®, Oracle® and SAP HANA® databases
      • Hybrid or private cloud projects
      • DevOps and QA environments
      • Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI)
      See Details

    • Configured for your needs.

      The portfolio of XC Series Appliances and XC Core Nodes includes:

      		 Dell EMC’s proven PowerEdge server platform serves as the foundation for the XC Family. XC Family nodes can be configured with your choice of hypervisor, Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, 64GB – 6TB of memory, and SAS, SATA SSDs (all models) and NVMe SSDs (XC640-10, XC740xd-24 and XC940-24 only). All-flash configurations and 25 GbE networking options are available on certain models and the XC Family includes GPU, compute- and performance-intensive, storage-only and replication target nodes. All XC Family hardware, software, and deployments are  supported by Dell EMC’s Global Service and Support organization and Nutanix.
      XC640-4 and XC640-4i (1U/1-node) Designed for smaller, remote, and branch office deployments, which are non mission-critical. XC640-4: 3-node cluster deployment; XC640-i: 1 node deployment.
      XC640-10 (1U/1-node) Optimized for compute-and performance-intensive workloads in VDI, test and development, enterprise hybrid cloud, and server virtualization.
      XC740xd-12 (2U/1-node) With up to 80TB per node, it’s ideal for storage-heavy applications, such as Microsoft Exchange®, SharePoint, data warehouse, and data analytics.
      XC740xd-24 (2U/1-node) Designed for performance-intensive applications, including VDI with GPU Microsoft SQL Server®, and Oracle® OLTP, and other database applications , including SAP HANA (qualified for production and non-production environments)
      XC740xd-12C (2U/1-node) Provides up to 80TB of cold tier storage expansion for XC Series clusters.
      XC740xd-12R (2U/1-node)  Non-clustered single-node replication target with up to 80TB capacity.
      XC940-24 (3U/1 node) Ideal for memory and performance- intensive databases using Microsoft SQL, Oracle OLTP and SAP HANA (qualified for production and non-production environments)
      XC6420 (2U/4-node)  Optimized for deployments where compute and storage density is required, including software as a service (SaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS), enterprise cloud, etc.

    • Scale with ease and empower your team with XC Family solutions

      • XC Family solutions eliminate the need for over-provisioning and capital expenditures based on anticipated capacity and performance requirements. System performance and/or capacity can be easily expanded one node at a time with zero downtime, offering customers linear and predictable scale-out expansion and pay-as-you-grow flexibility. A fault-tolerant architecture and self-healing capabilities provide system reliability and help ensure data integrity.

        An intuitive HTML5-based interface simplifies management operations with deployment and provisioning services, VM and storage management, search, content-sensitive help, comprehensive analytics,1-click hypervisor, software, and firmware updates. Enterprise-class data protection and management features are designed to enhance administrator productivity and include tiering, snapshot-based replication, thin provisioning, shadow clones, deduplication, and compression.

        The XC Family consists of XC Series appliances and XC Core nodes, an offering that provides customers with additional flexibility to acquire Nutanix software licensing while leveraging the benefits of the Dell EMC XC platform. XC Core uses the same Dell EMC PowerEdge hardware and software as the XC Series appliances while the HCI software is licensed and supported directly by Nutanix. This enables license portability across infrastructure components and separate upgrade and support of hardware and software throughout their lifecycles.
