The company is a global data center solution provider and a pioneer in hyper-converged infrastructure. It is extending its leadership in hyperscale data centers into the enterprise private cloud and hybrid cloud space.

The company will offer a standard 19″ rack, with QuantaGrid D51B server and QuantaMesh BMS series switches, powered by EVO SDDC. The two companies are working together on an OCP (Open Compute Project) specification.

Mike Yang, GM, QCT said: “We’ve built a close, collaborative relationship with VMware. Our work together has touched every aspect of the cloud data center, bringing the power of software-defined data center through hyper-converged infrastructure to customers of many sizes, not just the hyperscale players. The relationship between VMware and Quanta provides our mutual customers with new solutions optimized for different applications, workloads and business objectives.”

In addition to showcasing EVO SDDC, the compay had its VDI Series solution on display. These products, based on VMware technologies, are optimized for a diversity of VDI use cases. The VDI Series includes three configurations:

Stratos S910-X31E

• VDIBlock G2, a hyper-converged appliance with the company’s Stratos S910-X31E microserver. This 3U, nine-node high density microserver is energy efficient and comes bundled with Virtual SAN technology, leveraging DAS resources to drive down storage costs for office desktop workloads.

QuantaPlex T41S-2U

• VMBlock is a hyper-converged infrastructure solution with the QuantaPlex T41S-2U, designed with flexible configuration in hardware and available for various software modules. VMBlock is appropriate for versatile workloads including VDI and hybrid cloud environment.

• VDIBlock 3D Advance is the result of a three-way collaboration among QCT, VMware and NVIDIA Corporation. The solution enables easy scale-out of performance and capacity for the most demanding 3D applications and use cases in VDI environment, especially for graphic intensive applications such as AutoCAD, PTC Creo.
