The document discusses containers and converged infrastructure. It describes how containers allow applications to be deployed consistently using Docker and follow 12-factor principles. Converged infrastructure provides speed benefits. Scalable containerized applications require scalable architectures like VCE VxRack, which can scale horizontally. Containers are not limited by locality and additional infrastructure can be added easily as container usage grows. Persistent data can be stored in virtual machines using backing services.
Live on any cloud, any linux OS, super portable
They are ephemeral. Persistent data isn’t stored inside the container. It’s just a home and runtime environment for the application

Mention locality and no real need for everything to be in one cloud. REST rules the microservices.
VCE’s five key points of differentiation are applied to the industry’s broadest portfolio of converged infrastructure products.Vblock System 100 and Vblock System 200 Series are:• For fast-growing, mid-sized businesses or distributed remote offices requiring increased flexibility to meet rapidly changing needs.• Serve as the perfect entry point to leverage a true converged infrastructure for a private cloud solution. You also get the agility and scalability to quickly deploy solutions and keep pace with growing workloads.Vblock System 340: • The Vblock® System 340 is an enterprise class, private cloud ready converged infrastructure targeting mid-sized and large enterprises.• Customers evaluating a XaaS model to broaden their virtualization footprint, consolidating individual or mixed workloads, benefit from this popular, mature system.Vblock System 540:• The new Vblock® System 540 is the industry’s first ‘All Flash’ based converged infrastructure system for high performance mixed workloads and emerging 3rd platform applications.• ‘All Flash’ storage is ideal for applications such as cloud, big data, mobile and social.• The new system delivers performance in the millions of IOPS at ultra low latency for mixed workloads, Big Data /Analytics, and End User Computing.Vblock System 700 Series:• The Vblock System 700 series is comprised of enterprise- and service provider-class systems designed for mission critical application environments, offering the highest level of data and application availability.
Vblock Specialized Systems:• The Vblock Specialized systems are specifically architected for workloads, including Vblock Specialized System for SAP HANA, Vblock Specialized System for Extreme Applications - optimized for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), and Vblock Specialized System for High Performance Databases – which is targeted for Oracle environments.VCE Vision Intelligent Operations Software:• A mediation layer between your system and your existing management tools. The software allows for intelligent discovery by providing a continuous, near real-time perspective of your compute, network, storage, and virtualization resources as a single object—ensuring that your management tools reflect the most current state of your Vblock Systems.VCE Integrated Solutions:
• Provides strong foundation kits paired with associated VCE services to deliver timely and compelling customer value.• Harnesses VCE’s purpose-built architecture, engineering, manufacturing, management, support, and sustaining capabilities to extend the VCE experience beyond the Vblock System to include technology solutions implemented on or with Vblock Systems.• VCE Integrated Solutions for Cloud Management incorporate specific software title capabilities into the VCE factory integration process, and provides an enhanced procurement, deployment, management, support and ongoing sustaining experience for customers.
