  • Dell Storage Redefining the Economics of Enterprise Storage 2 | Dell Storage
    Dell Storage Redefining the economics of enterprise storage 2 | Dell Storage More innovation. Less frustration. Legacy storage architectures have historically been complex and costly with data rigidly coupled to hardware and frequent vendor-induced upgrades of both equipment and software licensing. Architectural limitations required overprovisioning of capacity to meet future SLAs despite the reality of constrained budgets. Today’s technology is dramatically impacting storage architectures as organizations seek to deploy new features and capabilities, embark upon the next chapter in virtualization, and glean more insights from their data. The siloed storage systems of the past are giving way to broader ecosystems — enhancing data center capabilities, speed of execution and cost structures. Come talk to Dell. As a solution partner, Dell offers the technology, know-how and experience to deliver new workload-optimized architectures that simplify IT for any size enterprise. Dell Storage | 3 Welcome to the virtual era Dell understands the storage hurdles of today. With the volume, velocity and value of data accelerating at an ever-increasing pace, making a departure from historically costly and complex approaches to storage is critical. Dell is redefining the economics of enterprise storage through modern storage architectures, a focus on customer workloads, and an end-to-end integrated portfolio of server, storage, networking, software and services offerings. Dell can help you develop the right data center and virtualization strategies based on your workloads for faster response times and lower TCO. From performance-optimized flash technologies to ultra-dense storage enclosures — and anything in between — Dell’s end-to-end storage portfolio can offer you an optimal solution for your business demands.

  • WHITE PAPER the Business Value of Dell Equallogic and Compellent
    WHITE PAPER The Business Value of Dell EqualLogic and Compellent Primary Storage Solutions Sponsored by: Dell Nick Sundby Randy Perry Daniel Bizo October 2012 Getting the best from a virtualized environment is a vital concern for IT managers struggling to deal with shrinking budgets, fewer staff, and other pressures brought about by the tough financial climate. Capital investment in IT is typically under severe scrutiny at the board level, while business units demand new and better applications as they strive to deliver higher levels of customer service. IT staff no longer have the time to spend on basic storage management issues just to keep the system running. Load balancing, application optimization, and disk maintenance should be devolved to the array where they are managed automatically. Dell has stepped up to the challenge with primary storage platforms based on its Fluid Data architecture, so that data is automatically moved to the most cost-effective location, thereby optimizing data throughout the infrastructure. To quantify the business value of the Dell EqualLogic and Compellent storage systems, IDC interviewed ten customers, including five in Europe and five in North America. The average return on investment (ROI) for the Dell storage solutions was 397%, with an average payback period of six months from deployment. In addition to the financial return, IDC found that Dell storage had a positive impact on the IT staff's operational capability. System managers were able to provision more quickly, resulting in more rapid response to business requests, and spent less time 'fire fighting', allowing more time for proactive initiatives that take the company's business forward.
