see a lifecycle that customers experience when applying virtualization technologies to IT. We call this The Dell Customer Journey. It consists of 5 distinct stages of virtualization that can be applied as a roadmap for the organizations IT leaders: IT Efficiency Business-Critical Workloads Data Availability End-User Computing Cloud The Dell Customer Journey Introduction
we’ve learned to apply a building-block approach that allows organizations to transition from stage to stage and leverage IT assets throughout. It’s a complete solution that grows with the organization when needed.
many interoperability issues It takes too long to design, procure, deploy integrate & configure new infrastructure Our application performance and availability can be inconsistent and poor My power, cooling and other operational costs are too high We have too many tools required to manage the infrastructure I’m tired of juggling multiple points of contact for support
DPACK • Add extra servers, replace with other PowerEdge Models • Add and scale switches wither either Force10 or PowerConnect • Scale storage to fit customer needs with either CML,EQL or PV Active Infrastructure (AI) solutions offer an integrated infrastructure needed to deploy workloads. • Pre-engineered, pre-assembled, pre-tested, and optimize allowing customers to deploy infrastructure quickly with less hassle Different Options to Achieve Consolidation
