Dell offers several benefits with its appliances. Primarily, I can combine them horizontally and vertically, reaching up to sixty-four nodes. Additionally, Dell employs its own artificial intelligence tools, which are unique in the market. They collaborate with VMware, vSphere, and vSAN, and their internal software, iDRAC, integrates seamlessly with VMware. From a single screen, I can view VM details, performance, and hardware issues, such as power supply or fan malfunctions, along with RAM module problems. Dell has also integrated CloudIQ software, which is connected to VMware. CloudIQ proactively identifies configuration errors. If a snapshot backup isn't performing as expected, CloudIQ will highlight and guide me on the error.
