Get Ready for Some Great IoT Innovations in Europe!

Dell launches IoT lab in Limerick, Ireland, to enable customers to create innovative, industry-leading solutions

Going a level further in spearheading the IoT wave, Dell has launched its first Internet of Things (IoT) lab in Europe. Based in Limerick, Ireland, the lab will be one of the bases for the new IoT division focused on bringing together end-to-end IoT solutions that span hardware, software and services.

Following the successful opening of Dell and Intel’s first IOT lab in Santa Clara, California, U.S. in November last year, the brand new IoT lab complements the existing Dell Solution Centre in Limerick. The lab further bolsters Dell’s portfolio by providing European customers with a dedicated space to build, model, architect and test their IoT solutions– and get them to market faster. At the lab, customers will be able to meet with a team of highly-skilled solution centre technicians and IOT specialists to discuss their ideas and collaborate to develop robust proof of concepts and innovative solutions.

“Our specialists in the lab can reduce the complexity of IT and help customers to bring their ideas to life.” said Dermot O’Connell, executive director and general manager, OEM Solutions, Dell EMEA.

“Current IoT solutions offer lengthy implementations, overly ambitious scoping and complex proprietary designs that raise risks and costs,” said Andy Rhodes, Executive Director IoT Solutions, Dell. “We are helping customers build out their solutions pragmatically with a broad portfolio of IoT-enabling offerings including security, manageability, services, analytics, infrastructure, and endpoints.”

Dell has also announced its IoT division’s first product release, a gateway designed to help customers to kick-start their solution development and begin realizing the value of IoT immediately. Available now in the U.S and Canada, the gateways are the most recent addition to Dell’s IoT solution stack and are a solid foundation for an IoT edge solution that conserves valuable network bandwidth by relaying only meaningful data back to the cloud.
