What does EVO:RAIL do?
EVO:RAIL enables power-on to VM creation in minutes,
radically easy VM deployment, easy non-disruptive patch
and upgrades and simplified management; it also acts as
a scalable Software-Defined Data Centre (SDDC) building
block, in that it also delivers compute, networking, storage, and management to empower private / hybrid-cloud,
end-user computing, test or development, and branch office
environments.
Because it in essence builds on, and draws from, the
proven technology of VMware vSphere, vCenter Server as
well as VMware Virtual SAN, EVO:RAIL delivers the first
hyper-converged infrastructure appliance 100% powered by
VMware software.
It also purports a highly resilient design, starting with four

which will ensure that you experience no application downtime during planned maintenance or during disk, network,
or host failures.
A common tagline at VMware is ‘infrastructure at the speed

deliver to customers with EVO:RAIL by helping them meet
accelerating business demands by simplifying infrastructure
design with predictable sizing and scaling, by streamlining
