Post-integration Dell EMC focuses on digital transformation solutions

+New offerings combine the best technologies from Dell EMC to address cloud, big data analytics, converged infrastructure, storage, data protection and security

+Dell EMC offers new, flexible consumption models that span broad array of Dell EMC portfolio to help customers scale technology availability with IT demand

Dell EMC has announced a wave of products, solutions and consumption models designed to help customers transform IT on their way to becoming a digital business.

In a recent Dell Technologies study half (48%) of global business leaders from mid-size to large enterprises confessed they do not know what their industry will look like in three years. They agreed that moving toward a cloud model, expanding software development capabilities and enabling faster innovation and deeper insights from data are key strategies to digital transformation. However, companies are struggling to evolve their data centres, with 69% saying they are being held back by too many traditional applications. They are challenged with reducing sprawl and spend, while bringing systems up-to-date. 

New products and solutions announced at the recent Dell EMC World are designed to help organisations  accelerate their transformation and manage costs.

“To ensure that they’re not “Uber’d”, “Airbnb’d” or “Tesla’d” in their marketplace, today’s organisations  must embark on a digital transformation. To truly realise their digital future, we believe the vast majority of organisations will transform their IT through a hybrid cloud strategy,” said David Goulden, President, Infrastructure Solutions Group, Dell EMC. 

“The first ‘no regrets’ step is to modernise their data centre through the most advanced converged infrastructure, servers, storage, data protection, and cybersecurity technologies to name a few."

Announced at Dell EMC World were a wave of new products and solutions designed as the building blocks for data centre modernisation:

Dell EMC expands its converged infrastructure portfolio through integration with PowerEdge servers into VxRail Appliances and VxRack System 1000 hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI).

Dell EMC's new Analytic Insights Module delivers all of the software, hardware and services necessary to stand up an environment for both big data analytics and cloud native application development in days rather than weeks.

Dell unveiled an endpoint data security and management portfolio encompassing technologies from Dell, Mozy by Dell, RSA and VMware AirWatch, offering data protection, backup and recovery, identity assurance, threat prevention and advanced response, and endpoint device and application management capabilities.

Dell EMC has a new member of the Isilon product family, combining the high performance of flash technology with a scale-out network attached storage (NAS) platform. 

Dell EMC announced a new software-defined version of Dell EMC Data Domain protection storage delivering a 6x increase in scalability and support for Dell EMC PowerEdge Servers, along with new cloud-enabled software updates.

Dell EMC has boosted the capabilities of its mid-market SC Series (formerly Compellent) storage arrays by making it interoperable with the portfolio of storage management, mobility and data protection solutions formerly only available to EMC customers.

Dell EMC also previewed a new channel partner programme. The Dell EMC Partner Program validates Dell EMC’s commitment to the channel. The new programme strategy ensures partners have ample opportunity, business continuity and profitability no matter their programne tier.
