About Dell EMC XC Family
XC Family solutions consist of XC Series appliances, XC Core nodes, integrated Nutanix software, and Dell EMC PowerEdge servers with Intel Xeon processors to offer one of the industry’s most versatile and scalable HCI platforms. With factory-installed Nutanix software and a choice of hypervisors, XC Family systems can be deployed quickly for all virtualized workloads to reduce management complexity and total cost of ownership. Dell EMC has over 12 years of experience integrating hardware and software for appliances built with PowerEdge servers, including 3 generations of XC Family appliances and systems. That experience enables us to develop technologies that simplify and streamline common workflows performed throughout the product’s lifecycle. Factory installation of the software stack and hypervisor. Software modules that deliver fast and seamless deployment. Tools developed specifically for HCI to simplify workflow orchestration across a cluster.

Maxta
Maxta Hyperconvergence software gives IT the freedom to choose servers and hypervisors, scale storage independent of compute, and run mixed workloads on the same cluster. Unlike hyperconverged appliances, with Maxta there’s no vendor lock-in, no refresh tax and no upgrade tax. Use existing servers, buy pre-configured servers, or a combination of both. Appliances have a hidden cost. Never repay for software when you refresh hardware. Most storage and even hyperconverged solutions can only manage policies at the LUN, volume, or cluster level. Maxta lets you run multiple applications on the same cluster without sacrificing performance or availability. Appliance-based hyperconverged solutions make you repurchase the software license when you refresh hardware and add storage capacity only by adding additional appliances. You own your Maxta software forever and can add storage capacity by adding additional drives to servers.
