Dell Technologies, Inc. specializes in assisting organizations in constructing modern, disaggregated data centers equipped with innovations in storage, cyber resilience, software, and integrated solutions. With the increasing pressures on businesses to efficiently manage and secure various workloads across on-premises data centers, cloud systems, and edge environments, Dell’s approach is designed to be adaptable to evolving IT and operational needs.
Advanced Storage and Cyber Resiliency
Dell’s advancements in storage and cyber resiliency are crucial for the functionality of modern data centers. Noteworthy features include:
- PowerProtect Data Domain All-Flash appliances offer enhanced cyber resiliency, achieving data restores that are up to four times faster and replication performances that double the efficiency. These appliances require 40% less rack space and can save as much as 80% in power usage compared to traditional HDD systems.
- PowerScale software enhancements bolster object storage and cyber resilience. The PowerScale Cybersecurity Suite provides extensive protection for critical data, alongside capabilities for boosting application performance via Amazon EC2 cloud bursting.
- PowerStore Advanced Ransomware Detection enables organizations to verify data integrity and reduce downtime resulting from ransomware attacks, leveraging advanced AI analytics. This comes as PowerStore celebrates its fifth anniversary and serves over 17,000 customers worldwide.
Automation for Cloud and Edge Operations
Dell has developed software solutions that automate the deployment and management of disaggregated private cloud and edge infrastructures. The Dell Private Cloud introduces an efficient way to build, manage, and scale private clouds utilizing software from vendors such as Broadcom, Nutanix, and Red Hat. This system allows organizations to optimize their operations with reusable infrastructure and lifecycle management, reducing the steps needed for provisioning a private cloud stack by up to 90% compared to manual methods, achieving deployment in just a few hours without human intervention.
Furthermore, the Dell NativeEdge solution is tailored for virtualized workloads at the edge and in remote offices. It features robust data protection with policy-based load balancing, VM snapshots, and backup capabilities, ensuring consistent management across diverse edge environments, even with non-Dell legacy infrastructures.
