Business Wire
Dell announced today that its converged infrastructure
offerings, ranging from its Dell Active Infrastructure portfolio to
its recently introduced Dell PowerEdge VRTX solution, are gaining
momentum and leading industry analyst firms are commenting on its
emergence as a recognized industry leader.
Converged infrastructure, which combines compute, storage and
networking resources with infrastructure management into a virtual
or physical integrated system, is a growing market as organizations
strive to make their data centers simpler, more flexible and
cost-effective. Dell’s differentiated approach uniquely offers
customers a choice of convergence strategies, and provides
customers migration options for heterogeneous, legacy IT
environments: a software-based Active Infrastructure management
layer which aggregates customers’ heterogeneous legacy
infrastructure investments into a virtual converged infrastructure,
and physical converged infrastructure where all resources and
management are included in the same chassis such as Dell PowerEdge
VRTX.
According to four recently completed research reports, Dell’s
converged solutions offerings include a superior set of
capabilities that are gaining significant traction in the
marketplace:
- Technology Business Research:
Dell is recognized as the converged infrastructure brand most
likely to be recommended by customers using more than one brand of
converged infrastructure according to the “Converged Infrastructure
Landscape Report” by Technology Business Research, Inc.(1) The
report states that Dell Active System, launched in October 2012,
“is already experiencing tremendous customer adoption despite its
relatively short existence in the market.” The report also notes
that “with the expanded Active System line and the introduction of
PowerEdge VRTX, Dell now goes to market with a complete, unique
portfolio that targets customers across the SMB, midmarket and
enterprise spaces.”
- Info-Tech Research Group: Dell
is also recognized as a “Champion” in the Info-Tech Research Group
“2013 Vendor Landscape for Converged Systems.”(2) Assessing vendors
by the strength of their offering and their strategy, Dell is one
of only three considered to be a leading vendor with converged
infrastructure solutions. The Dell Active Infrastructure portfolio
is recognized for its channel strength and intuitive
user-interface. The report notes, “Dell is a major player with a
reputation for ease of use and strong support offerings.”
- Enterprise Strategy Group: Dell
PowerEdge VRTX was highlighted in an ESG product brief called “Dell
PowerEdge VRTX Stands Alone Addressing IT Demands of Remote and
Small Offices” which notes, “The universal appeal of Dell VRTX will
capture the attention of IT and business professionals with its
many deployment options, certified support for major productivity
communications applications, and multiple matches for business and
industry use cases.”(3)
- IDC: IDC recently published a
report on Dell PowerEdge VRTX noting, “By bringing the VRTX system
to midmarket, Dell clearly shows that it understands the
opportunity in bringing resilient, secure, and highly reliable
technology to run essential SMB workloads.”(4)
“Dell is effectively navigating the converged systems market by
positioning its Active Infrastructure portfolio and the PowerEdge
VRTX solution for a wide range of workload requirements,” said
Christian Perry, senior analyst, data centers, Technology Business
Research.
“This industry validation from leading market watchers affirms
that Dell is a leading choice for customers as they continue to
invest in converged infrastructure,” said Peter Evans, vice
president of Marketing, Enterprise Solutions Group, Dell. “Dell’s
differentiated value is a result of listening to customers and
innovating with pragmatic solutions that fit their business needs.
Dell will build upon this converged infrastructure momentum, and
will continue to bring to market a portfolio of enterprise
offerings that will help customers optimize their business.”
