The VxBlock 1000 is a converged infrastructure solution that integrates Dell storage and data protection into a turnkey converged system supporting all high-value, mission-critical workloads—from the core data center to the cloud. It helps users modernize and simplify their IT infrastructure at scale, so users can focus on innovation and gain more value from data.

The VxBlock replaces the former Vblock from VCE, acquired by EMC in 2014. The Vblock used a Cisco Nexus virtual switch, while VxBlock uses VMware's vSphere Distributed Switch.

Converged Infrastructure platforms and appliances provide an efficiency-boosting approach to data center infrastructure for delivering virtualization or deploying a private cloud, achieved by combining data center components into an appliance form factor that can be centrally managed and that is easier to scale.

VCE enables us to attain cloud computing benefits very quickly. Since it's a pre-installed (storage, compute, networking and virtualization) technology it allows us to implement the system quickly. Another advantage of Vblock is the modular approach, which can grow as per the needs of our organization.
