top of the integrated storage to complete the
software hyper-convergence model. Additional
enterprise class services are also included in the
files services, including ad-hoc and scheduled
snapshots and compression, all while fully
integrated into the VMware vCenter Web Client.
Fault tolerance, reliability and automatic scale-out are key features implemented though
VMware software technologies and Supermicro hardware designs. EVO: RAIL’s innovative
interface allows for virtual machine creation within twenty minutes of installation.
