At Dell World held in Austin Texas, Dell has introduced new products and solutions to help global customers on their paths toward software-defined data centres by bridging the IT gap between traditional and new application requirements. Dell is helping to address this continuum with future-ready IT solutions, including new converged infrastructure architecture,storage solutions, and workload-specific appliances to help customers transform their data centres, capture cost savings, and ensure their businesses are competitive.
“Dell is placing customers first and delivering IT solutions which allow them to transform and future-proof their data centres without having to sacrifice the past,” said Marius Haas, chief commercial officer and president of enterprise solutions group, Dell.
Dell’s new future-ready IT solutions include the new Dell PowerEdge FX converged architecture that provides optimal modularity and scalability; a new Dell Storage SC4020 Entry-Level All-Flash configuration that offers compelling features and performance in an all-flash storage array for £15,000/€20,000; the new Dell Storage PS4210 Series for substantially improved application performance and connectivity options for small and mid-size deployments; and, the Dell XC Series of Web-scale Converged Appliances for integrated compute and enterprise storage.
“Despite claims to the contrary, mostly by vendors of proprietary servers, Dell’s new FX architecture clearly shows that x86 system innovation is alive and well,” said Charles King, Dell Watcher and Principal Analyst, Pund-IT. “The company’s efforts also prove how being a disruptive force doesn’t require ‘thinking outside of the box.’ In the case of the FX architecture, Dell has succeeded by rethinking the box itself.”
