VMware Evo RAIL solution - the latest series

Posted on 02 September, 2014

Boston Limited are excited to announce the release of the latest series of high performance, high density solutions. The EVO: RAIL appliance combines compute, networking and storage resources all into a hyper-converged infrastructure appliance. By doing this it creates a simple, easy to deploy, all-in-one solution offered by VMware qualified partners.

We are now in our 21st year as a distribution partner for Supermicro, and are very proud to be part of the Software-Defined-Data-Centre (SDDC) movement, leveraging server solutions providers like Supermicro and virtualization technologies like VMware.

Simplicity is transformed as the EVO: RAIL enables power-on to VM creation in minutes, radically easy VM deployment, one-click non-disruptive patch and upgrades and simplified management. It also meets accelerating business demands with infrastructure at the speed of innovation.

We have listed other key features below...

Key Features include:

  • 2U 4-node Form Factor
  • Redundant Hot Swap Titanium Level, High Efficiency (96%) Digital Power Supplies
  • 14.4TB raw capacity with 10K RPM drives and built in caching with SSD
  • Supports up to 100 general purpose server virtual machines or 250 virtual desktops machines per appliance
  • RJ45 (VRL001 model) or SFP+ (VRL002 model) networking connectivity
  • Automatic Scale-Out
  • VMWare vSphere, Virtual SAN and vCenter software
  • EVO: RAIL Deployment, Configuration, and Management
  • Power-on to VM creation in minutes
  • Easy VM Deployment
  • Compute, Storage and Networking Resources in a single appliance
  • Single point of contact for hardware and software support

This all-in-one solution allows administrators to go from initial power-up to virtual machine creation in just minutes via their user interface. These steps would traditionally take hours, if not days, but the solution is configured with the EVO: RAIL software, which stack and delivers all of the necessary components for a Software Defined Data Centre in a single, modular, scalable and easy to service enclosure.
