Over the past year, Dell Technologies Inc. has made incremental adjustments to its VxFlex hyperconverged-infrastructure portfolio. A number of these enhancements added new features as part of the firm’s PowerEdge server line.

This week, Dell recognized what many of its customers had validated in past use of VxFlex.

“We’re moving our VxFlex product to the new Power brand and Power name,” said Matthew Paul (pictured, left), senior director of product management at Dell. “We’re responding to our customers taking this product on, aligning it, and using it in line with our bigger portfolio that we have at Dell EMC. It reflects customer adoption of this technology and our investment as Dell Technologies in software-defined storage to signify to the market that we’re here to stay.”

Paul spoke with Stu Miniman, host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. He was joined by Anthony Cinelli (pictured, right), senior director of global sales at Dell, and they discussed the launch of PowerFlex 3.5 and how these latest moves extend Dell’s technology across enterprise businesses of all sizes.

New PowerFlex release

Dell customers also rely on a software-only solution called PowerFlex, which uses local drives and area networks to create a virtual storage area network. PowerFlex can turn local storage devices into shared block storage, and Dell has issued a new release of this as well.

“On top of the re-brand is the launch of PowerFlex 3.5,” Paul said. “It’s an end-to-end solution, so we bring all of these things together to add value. The ability for us to align that and give it to customers is probably the most important piece of this release.”

In making these latest moves with its portfolio, Dell is also seeking to make its technology more valuable across the full spectrum of enterprise businesses.

“We’ve always done ‘large’ really well with this technology,” Cinelli said. “What the team has built on the management stack is now allowing us to also do ‘small’ and ‘medium’ incredibly well. We can bring this disruptive technology to the masses, to your general enterprise, to your general mid-market type customer who’s not solving for hundreds of thousands of nodes, but maybe solving for 10, 20 or 50.”
