Dell Technologies helps customers design modern disaggregated data centres with storage, cyber resilience, software and integrated solution innovations.
Why it matters
Organisations face increasing demands to efficiently manage and secure both modern and traditional workloads across on-premises data centres, cloud and edge environments. IT and business needs keep changing, so the modern data centre must be ready for anything. Dell’s approach to disaggregated infrastructure combines management of shared compute, networking and storage resource pools with software-driven automation, security and partner integrations.
Advanced storage and cyber resiliency capabilities
Dell storage and cyber resiliency advancements deliver the performance and protection that modern data centres need.
· Dell PowerProtect Data Domain All-Flash appliances improve cyber resiliency with up to four times faster data restores and two times faster replication performance. They are more efficient, taking up 40% less rack space and saving up to 80% on power when compared to HDD systems.
· Dell PowerScale software advancements enhance object storage support and cyber resilience. The PowerScale Cybersecurity Suite offers comprehensive solutions to protect, access and recover critical data. Customers can boost application performance with Amazon EC2 cloud burst and reduce costs by backing up to Dell ObjectScale, Amazon S3 or Wasabi.
· PowerStore Advanced Ransomware Detection helps organisations validate data integrity and minimise downtime from ransomware attacks using advanced AI analytics. The news comes as Dell celebrates PowerStore’s fifth anniversary and over 17,000 global customers.
Automate private cloud and edge operations
Dell software automates the deployment and management of disaggregated private cloud and edge solutions built with Dell’s industry-leading infrastructure and partner technologies.
Dell Private Cloud offers a new approach to deploying, managing and scaling private clouds built with cloud software from vendors like Broadcom, Nutanix and Red Hat on Dell disaggregated infrastructure. Organisations can protect their investment with reusable infrastructure, simplify operations with full lifecycle management and support customer choice with a catalog of validated blueprints. Automation helps customers provision a private cloud stack in 90% fewer steps than manual processes5, delivering a cluster in just two and a half hours with no manual effort.
Dell Private Cloud is delivered using the Dell Automation Platform, a software platform designed to simplify how customers deploy and operate disaggregated solutions with secure, zero touch onboarding and centralised management.
“Dell Private Cloud has proven to be the right fit to helps us meet our business priorities,” said Keith Bradley, vice president, IT and Security, Nature Fresh Farms. “The flexibility to transition between cloud ecosystems and the ability to repurpose hardware is a game-changer for us by providing investment protection and enabling us to respond to evolving business needs quickly.”
New Dell NativeEdge features make it the most advanced and cost-effective solution for virtualised workloads at the edge and in remote branch offices.7 Critical data is protected and secured with policy-based load balancing, VM snapshots and backup and migration capabilities. Organisations can manage diverse edge environments consistently with non-Dell and legacy infrastructure support.
