Dell has expanded its enterprise technology portfolio to help organisations become more efficient through the innovative use of technology. The introduction of flexible and modular virtualisation and data centre consulting services, business-ready virtualisation configurations, new Dell PowerEdge servers and EqualLogic PS4000 storage array will further simplify the planning, deployment and management of virtualised and physical IT environments.

The expanded lineup attacks cost and complexity for two key areas of enterprise computing – virtualisation and high-performance computing (HPC) – while providing differentiated solutions for SMBs.

Virtualisation is at the heart of data centre efficiency. Dell is delivering enhanced virtualisation solutions and services to reduce planning time for a faster path to efficient infrastructures, accelerate virtualisation adoption and simplify management of virtual environments.

To this end, Dell has introduced new flexible and modular virtualisation consulting services. Dell’s technology accelerated Dell ProConsulting offerings use electronic discovery, Web based surveys, best practices, comparative data and reference architectures for shorter, more impactful engagements. To help holistically optimise data centres, Dell is introducing a variety of consulting options aimed at reducing the cost to plan, manage and run them.

Mohamed Halawa, Enterprise Marketing Manager, Dell, said IT departments across various enterprises and organisations are regularly facing the issue of how they can both effectively, and yet cost efficiently, manage their departments, a particular concern in today’s economic climate. Halawa said from virtualisation to high performance computing clusters, customers are increasingly looking for products that are reliable, powerful, energy efficient and standards-based. “Dell delivers on the needs of enterprises providing an affordable portfolio of server, storage and virtualisation products and services that help put them on the fast track to efficiency,” he said.

Raghu Raghuram, VP and GM, Server Business Unit at VMware, agrees and adds that as a longtime partner, Dell continues to deliver innovative solutions which, combined with the VMware platform, enable customers of all sizes to maximise their IT investments through flexible, reliable and efficient virtualised infrastructure. “With VMware vSphere 4, even SMBs can now obtain affordable business continuity, improved application quality and deployment, and strengthened security to help ensure their businesses continue to run smoothly,” Raghuran said.

According to platform optimisation and virtualisation consulting service make IT infrastructures more effective through an analysis of workload requirements, reference architectures and validated solutions.

The vendor says its virtualisation services can dramatically reduce TCO, provision virtual machines in minutes instead of weeks for traditional machines and help customers build a standards-based virtual environment.
