“
VxRail compute at the Edge (via multiple
ROBO hotel sites) will form a critical
foundation for enabling [our 5-year value
driven] franchise strategy.
“
A do-it-yourself approach to HCI… would have
taken us weeks. But we were up and running
inside a day with our all-in-one VxRail.
“
VxRail is the fundamental building block for
our private cloud environment enabling high
availability, automation, and scalability.
Adam Little Niv Raz
Chris Stanley Senior Systems Administrator Chief Information Officer

“
Since implementing Dell EMC VxRail, we
spend four to six hours per week managing
ROBO systems, not up to three days.
“
We expect to cut IT overhead for infrastructure
maintenance and monitoring by close to 20
percent on Dell EMC VxRail and Unity.
