Recent Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) colocation research found that 94% of enterprises are leveraging colocation providers, all in the name of better security, reduced IT operational burden, and proximity to multiple cloud providers. 

In previous years, IT pros slated colocation as an outdated infrastructure model. However, innovations from Dell PowerStore on Equinix Metal, alongside these ESG research results, tell a different story.

Register or watch this Fireside Chat to dig deeper into how colocation is transforming today’s multi-cloud environments and why infrastructure services like Equinix Metal are playing a larger role in hybrid and multi-cloud operations.

You’ll hear from Equinix VP of Platform Solutions Rich Steeves, Dell Technologies VP of Alliances Todd Lieb, and ESG Practice Director Scott Sinclair about these topics, as well as real results from companies partnering with Dell and Equinix for colocation.

would an organization prioritize deploying a PC with local AI capabilities if they don’t have a
specific use case or workload in mind?

In this fireside chat, Dell’s Dhiren Patel and Microsoft’s Rob McGilvrey will join end-user
computing industry analyst Gabe Knuth in a lively discussion of the reality of AI today, and what
to look for in the near future as you begin to factor AI capabilities into your endpoint strategy,
as well as your transition from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

Requirements for change on an IT Infrastructure are at an all time high.  Unprecedented demand for work from home means further strain on often already strapped server infrastructure.  

In this session we actively discuss how customers have been coping with these critical business demands and how to, not only deliver mission critical applications with changing requirements on IT, but also plan for future changes. 

We will also discuss how VMWare Cloud Foundation 4.0 validated design on PowerEdge MX delivers cloud infrastructure that is built for unique innovation.  

And Kevin Tolly, founder of Tolly Group - a 3rd party analyst firm - will join us to present their recent findings from a Reference Architecture & Deployment Best Practices Study: VMWare Cloud Foundation on MX was able to go from loading dock to production deployment in less than 1 calendar week.
