Anyone using the Dell Evo Rails and if so any feedback?

Hello EE,

We have some remote offices with 50-100 users with stand alone servers. I was thinking VMware, but it can be pricey given we only really need 2 servers at our remote offices. I was reading a bit about the Dell EVO Rails and wanted to get input if anyone is using and if so what environment and feedback

Evo Rails is really new and I don't think Dell release the pricing yet. It not going to be cheap. A single EVO comes with 4 Nodes ( 4 servers) and with vSphere/vSAN licenses. It can run upto 100 VMs.

Hope this helps.

That is great thanks. What would (if anything) it be in direct competition with?

You could also look into a Converged Infrastructure option, like NetApp's FlexPod. A PreSales Technician wrote in his review for IT Central Station, "Improvements to My Organization:

It's easy to deploy and easy to scale when you need. It’s a proven architecture that works with tools for virtualization or private cloud environment. When you need to scale you just buy another rack or hardware to put in data center and can manage centrally. You don’t need to do much configuration to get it working.

Room for Improvement:

The price, but nothing from a technical perspective.
