2017: HCI goes primetime
>60% customers to adopt HCI by 20171
75% deployments in core data center1
HCI market $1.5B to $6B by 20202
Customers are already
modernizing with HCI
Main drivers: simplify operations, start
small and scale efficiently, lower TCO
Standardized building blocks to help
accelerate your on-premises cloud
Why are they
embracing HCI?
Dell EMC has fastest-growing HCI portfolio: VxRail, VxRack, XC series
