Ready Stack: Flexibly Build Your Own Converged Infrastructure

Sometimes, the turnkey approach is the best and fastest approach to modernization. But sometimes, customers need a custom solution that they can build for themselves, or with the support of trusted partners.

That’s why we’ve created Ready Stack – a portfolio of validated designs that enable customers to build their own converged infrastructure data center solutions. It’s great news for them – and great news for you, because you can work with them to design and deploy converged infrastructure on a fast and simple sales cycle.

Ready Stack combines component technologies from a single source –Dell EMC, the leader of the overall Converged Systems segment, with more than 2X the revenue share of its nearest competitors1. All-flash storage, next-generation servers, data protection portfolios, and leading open networking solutions come together to help you reduce complexity and risk, and save time and hassle.
