The Dell difference

IT organizations evaluating converged infrastructure
solutions today are stuck choosing from undesirable
closed, complex, incomplete and/or expensive options.
Dell fills a gap in the market for advanced data center
infrastructure platforms that are simple, flexible and
comprehensive.

Dell’s framework is compatible with existing data center
architectures while allowing flexibility for the future, and
doesn’t lock our customers into a proprietary model like
some offerings. Some competitive solutions are built to
operate in a single way, may not support customer needs
over time and require complex integration with existing
management offerings.

VDI is a significant feature of the Dell Active Infrastructure. VDI and VDS (Virtualization Desktop Services) will be EXPLAINED! Join us for this informative WEBINAR.

The average enterprise uses 70% of its IT budget to maintain its physical infrastructure. As the industry's leading virtualization software, VMware vSphere™ can cut overall IT costs by up to 70%—allowing more resources to be allocated toward innovation and improving business operations.

In addition to having a low total cost of ownership, VMware vSphere also simplifies operations, delivers improved performance and ensures high availability of services. VMware is fundamentally changing how enterprises manage, deploy and deliver IT.

Webinar Details:

Maximize your current resources
Consolidating your servers allows you to combine infrastructure resources and break the traditional model of only having one application per server.

Increase availability of hardware and applications
Securely back up and migrate entire virtual environments without interruptions in service. This improves business continuity by eliminating planned downtime and immediately recovering from unplanned issues.


Improve operational flexibility and responsiveness
Dynamically scale to respond to unpredictable market changes and user demands. The ability to provision servers faster allows administrators to spend more time focusing on business needs.

Take the first step on the path to cloud computing
Virtualizing your infrastructure is the beginning of the journey to the cloud. Cloud computing provides additional cost savings and results in a zero-touch infrastructure with full automation across the board.

RealCloud defines a core set of capabilities that your organization needs to take advantage of cloud. By understanding these capabilities and your current environment you can define a rational cloud strategy.

- RealCloud creates a map for implementing cloud
- Allows you to focus on the right projects
- Thinks beyond just technology to people and process to enable the organization

RealCloud progresses through fives stages. Traditional IT begins the journey and builds toward cloud as virtualization is implemented. A stage approach starts with the reality of today and moves toward cloud.

Why the 5 stages are important:
Change does not happen overnight. A progressive approach to change is manageable and enables key investments over time.

- Foundations in today’s realities allow for better planning of next steps
- Roadmap to the future allows for better planning of current projects
- Maturity builds over time
- Incremental value is generated with each project

In this final webinar we will expolore the results and reporting deliverables provided to individuals and organziations who take 20 minutes from thier schedules to participate in this FREE survey.

Before you begin or continue further on the journey to your cloud, it's important to know how ready your organization is to adopt cloud.While every cloud journey is unique, there are aspects of any private, public or hybrid cloud that, if ignored, can prevent you from achieving maximum competitive advantage and cost benefits from your cloud. Join experts from NetApp, Insight Integrated Systems and FireScope as they discuss the critical ingredients to a solid cloud foundation. In this webinar we will explore these burning questions about cloud architectures:

•Do I have the right storage architecture to support dynamic cloud operations?
•What are the implications to consolidation and automation initiatives without a clear view of my critical services and their dependencies?
•How can I effectively manage services whose dependencies sit in the cloud as well as in my data centers?
•How does my cloud architecture affect the way I perform capacity planning?
•Do we truly understand how to move from our traditional IT environment to a IT department that is optimized for cloud computing?
