Brad Anderson, senior vice president of Enterprise Product Group at Dell, said: “With new solutions for virtualization management, new innovations in our server and storage product lines and expanded service offerings our customers can utilize Dell for the benefits of a converged architecture – dynamic workload allocation, faster time to deployment, seamless management – but they don’t want to be locked into a closed technology stack.
Dell claims that the new products, which can be integrated seamlessly into Dell solutions for government, healthcare and education organizations, will drive organizational and application agility so as to enable customers focus on innovation instead of basic maintenance.
