Dell today unveiled comprehensive end-to-end solutions from new
data center offerings to laptops and services to localized software
solutions to help entrepreneurs, enterprises and public
institutions throughout the Asia-Pacific region and the world
transform their business and re-stimulate local economies. The new
solutions were announced at the Dell Solutions Summit, which brings
customers, partners and thought leaders from the Asia-Pacific
region together to discuss technology solutions that can set the
foundation for growth, productivity and positive change. As a
leading force in the world economy and in world affairs, Dell
recognizes the importance of this region and is eager to share and
learn from the region’s organizations.
In addition to new solutions, Dell reaffirmed its ongoing
commitment to and investment in the area. This year, Dell awarded
Dell Youth Learning grants to three charities in China, as well as
Children’s Cancer Care grants to three charities in the region and
$250,000USD in disaster relief to the floods in India. Nearly 50
percent of entries in the Dell Social Innovation Challenge earlier
this summer were received from the Asia-Pacific region and the
winning team was from India. Also, in June, Dell celebrated an
important manufacturing milestone with the opening of the Chengdu
Operations Site, the first Dell operations site to fully deploy
Dell’s new IT solutions.
“At Dell, we are fully committed to the Asia-Pacific region,”
said Michael Dell, chairman and CEO. “We continue to grow our
regional investments and deepen our customer relationships with
technology solutions that make a positive difference in how people
live, organizations operate and the world works.”
Transforming the Data Center with Customer-Inspired Server
and Networking Solutions
Dell today delivered new options to improve data center
efficiency with the introduction of an open hyperscale rack
solution for China. Built in close collaboration with the largest
cloud service providers in China to meet the demanding needs of
emerging workloads, the Dell open hyperscale rack solution takes a
holistic approach to data center architecture to deliver an
advantage to businesses in the rapidly-evolving cloud computing
marketplace. The Dell open hyperscale rack solution is:
- Customer Inspired: Designed to support
the next generation of data centers in China with capacities up to
15 kW per rack.
- Flexibly Efficient: Expanded
configurability for customer-specific workloads with a
highly-modular compute and storage architecture featuring shared
power, cooling and rack-level management.
In conjunction with the Dell rack solution announcement, Dell
will contribute key elements of the design to the Open Compute
Project with the goal of fostering additional openness,
standardization and innovation around rack platforms.
In addition, Dell Networking expanded its S-series portfolio
with the new S6000, the industry’s highest-density 1RU 10/40GbE
switching platform1 for highly-virtualized data centers. Consuming
up to 50 percent less power than Dell’s previous generation
top-of-rack switches, the S6000 doubles the density and throughput2
all in a fixed form factor design, allowing customers to build more
efficient data centers considering today’s demands on energy. Also,
built-in advanced virtualization and automation features help
customers scale larger virtual deployments in a smaller physical
footprint, and help solve the challenge of bridging virtualized and
non-virtualized aspects of the infrastructure. Additional features
include:
- High-density: Deployed as 32 40GbE
ports or 96 10GbE ports plus 8 40GbE ports in 1RU, the S6000 can
support new, more flexible network architectures for high-density
compute racks in top-of-rack position, or provide network
connectivity for multiple racks in efficient end-of-row or
middle-of-row configurations.
- High-throughput: Provides up to
2.56Tbps performance, twice that of similar competitive products in
a standard 1RU form factor3 allowing customers to aggressively
invest in 10GbE for in-rack server and storage connectivity.
- Unifying environments: The S6000
supports advanced network virtualization and software-defined
networking features including hardware-accelerated layer 2 gateway
functionality for use with VMware NSX™, bridging traffic between
virtualized and non-virtualized environments. In addition, upcoming
enhancements to Dell Active Fabric Manager allow visibility into
the virtual network of VMware’s vSphere Distributed Switch
environments. Both make SDN come alive and help network and
server/virtualization administrators collaborate on next-generation
infrastructure.
- Energy efficient: S6000 is Fresh Air
capable and validated as part of Dell’s Fresh Air cooling solution
for servers, storage and networking. By leveraging the thermal and
reliability advantages engineered into this portfolio of equipment,
customers are able to run data centers even warmer, helping reduce
additional maintenance and infrastructure costs, while enabling
lower overall energy consumption.
Building on its No. 1 x86 server unit share in China4, Dell also
launched the PowerEdge T20 Server, an ideal first server for small
offices and home offices. The T20 packs large internal storage
capacity and performance in a compact, quiet, mini-tower server
chassis for efficient, worry-free operation. With the T20 server,
customers can cost effectively:
- Ease management of consolidated data,
images and videos stored on multiple media and media types in
multiple locations, onto a single server.
- Enhance collaboration by running
applications, accessing data, and sharing information and files
from any device.
- Attach external devices flexibly and
easily with numerous PCIe slots and USB ports.
- Secure data and files with software
RAID and optional backup and restore solutions.
Connecting and Protecting Businesses with New Secure,

Adopting New Business Models Through eCommerce
Dell Services has revealed the results of an industry survey
that show nearly 40 percent of CXOs in China plan to grow their
eCommerce business, and another 39 percent see it as a trend for
their retail, manufacturing and finance industries in the next five
years6. Realizing that traditional industries in the country are
looking for new growth opportunities through eCommerce, today Dell
Services is also releasing a whitepaper titled, “eCommerce 3.0:
Rebuilding the eCommerce Ecosystem6.” The new whitepaper outlines
ways companies in the region can shift their approach to focus on
building a healthy eCommerce ecosystem rather than squeezing profit
margins.
Due to challenging macro-economic conditions and an unbalanced
industry structure in China during the last several years,
industries and businesses are facing distinct obstacles. For
instance, the survey found that finance executives list lack of
ecommerce talent as their biggest challenge, followed by lack of
supply-chain management experience6. Retail CXOs say warehouse and
logistics management system building is their major challenge,
while 50 percent of manufacturing respondents say their biggest
hurdle is that operating models of traditional manufacturing
enterprises don't match eCommerce business models6.
Dell Services has successfully helped Chinese companies, like
Gome and Jinjiang, with their eCommerce transformations, partnering
with the customers for the duration of the transformation from
strategy development to IT services and eCommerce platform
delivery. Delivering the whitepaper and survey results will further
help companies consider ways to incorporate eCommerce business
models into their own for a more profitable, productive and
competitive business.
