About Today’s Session
WHAT IT IS
• An overview of the PowerEdge FX2 and Unity platforms
• A discussion of Networking Simplicity
• A demonstration of ease of deployment for a multi-protocol storage environment in Dell EMC modular infrastructure
WHAT IT IS NOT
• A “speeds and feeds” discussion
• A deep dive into the architecture and features of either the PowerEdge FX2 or Unity platforms
