Lenovo and HPE have also signed deal to carry on hyperconverging
VMware by Broadcom has re-signed three key hardware vendors to original equipment manufacturer resale agreements.
Dell, HPE, and Lenovo have all signed on the dotted line, meaning they can continue to sell hyperconverged systems and servers pre-installed with VMware's stack. That's a big win for VMware by Broadcom. Hyperconverged rigs that blend compute, storage and network virtualization are a popular way to buy enterprise IT, and now it has the three of the biggest names in enterprise hardware signed up to sell them. As for the hardware makers, all three have sizable customer bases to defend – so sorting out contracts that assure them the chance to do so will be welcome.
The statement adds that the deal covers Dell VxRail and Dell vSAN Ready Nodes hyperconverged infrastructure, Dell PowerEdge servers and Dell PowerFlex software-defined infrastructure.The fresh agreements come a week after Intel and AMD both announced new server processor ranges featuring manycore CPUs. While the chipmaking giants emphasized AI prowess, virtualization is a workload that benefits from manycore silicon – higher core count can allow even greater consolidation of server fleets.
