  • Why the Dell / EMC Combination Makes Sense for Customers
    Why the Dell / EMC Combination Makes Sense for Customers Synergistic product portfolio and go-to-market strategies have potential to set IT customers up for success in the digital economy Executive Summary One of the biggest technology deals in history at over $60 billion is about to unfold as Dell prepares to buy EMC. At EMC World in May 2016, Michael Dell made this acquisition more real than ever when he announced the new entity’s name, Dell Technologies, which will be an umbrella brand for the collection of companies that will include enterprise and client solutions and services, and other strategic assets including VMware, Pivotal, RSA, Virtustream, and SecureWorks. With just a few major milestones to go, it appears that all is on track for the companies to merge the enterprise organizations as Dell EMC under the umbrella brand and to begin operating as one by around mid-year. Dell and EMC are positioning themselves as the path to the cloud for IT customers. Moor Insights & Strategy (MI&S) believes Dell’s leadership in compute and EMC’s leadership in storage and converged infrastructure have the potential to become building blocks for a one-stop shop for enterprise datacenter customers. Other assets such as security, virtualization software, and cloud solutions can help round out the portfolio. Moreover, Dell’s client computing business and IoT practices can bring insight into client computing and IoT models that will be key drivers for future datacenter requirements. Dell EMC should focus on continuing to build up their networking business and making it a more cohesive part of their end-to-end datacenter story.

  • Buyer's Guide to Dell Power Distribution Units
    Buyer’s Guide to Dell Power Distribution Units With data center devices smaller than ever, often served by dual- or triple-power supplies, a single rack of equipment might produce 80 or more power cords to manage. You want to minimize the number of expensive power drops to each rack, yet power consumption keeps rising—from 600 to 1000 watts per U and growing. Furthermore, power demands can easily double or triple during peak periods and fluctuate with every move, addition, or change. Adding a 1U or 2U server used to mean drawing 300 to 500 more watts from the branch circuit; now, a new blade server can consume ten times as much current. Traditional power strips simply do not deliver enough power, flexibility, or control for today’s realities. You need an effective way to manage the tangle of power cords, deliver the required power without taking up valuable rack space, and have visibility into current draw at any time. Dell™ power distribution units (PDUs) were designed with your needs in mind. These rugged, space-saving devices distribute from 3.6kW to 22kW of power (single-phase or three-phase) to up to 42 sockets/receptacles in a single unit, with or without onboard metering and remote communications. Dell PDUs offer the following key advantages: Right out of the box, Dell PDUs work seamlessly with your Dell servers, storage, and desktop equipment. All models that support network communications integrate with the Dell Management Console powered by Altiris™ from Symantec™ to enable a consolidated infrastructure overview. Vertical models feature true toolless rack mounting.
