The document summarizes a report about the Dell EMC PowerEdge MX solution. It states that the PowerEdge MX solution is designed for kinetic infrastructure, allowing servers and storage to be swapped out flexibly as needs change. It can also scale from one to ten chassis quickly and easily. Testing showed the PowerEdge MX solution evacuated VMs up to 42.3% faster and achieved up to 73.0% lower latency and 1.7X more throughput than competing HPE and Cisco solutions.

Migrate VMs faster with a Dell EMC™
PowerEdge™
MX solution
Scalable SmartFabric boosted
throughput and reduced latency versus
similarly configured HPE Synergy and
Cisco®
UCS®
solutions
According to Dell EMC, the PowerEdge MX solution is the first platform
designed with kinetic infrastructure, which means it's flexibile—you can
switch out servers and storage as your business needs change—and
scalable, with scalable SmartFabric that lets you scale from one to ten
chassis in a single domain quickly and easily.1,2
Move VMs faster to speed up routine maintenance
Transfer more data per second and increase vMotion®
responsiveness
With greater throughput,
your network could transfer data faster,
while lower latency means the
servers and storage from
multiple chassis work
together as a
near-seamless unit
to avoid delays.
