Dell Teams Up With Microsoft Corporation For Hybrid Cloud Service

Dell and Microsoft have collaborated to develop a new Azure-based hybrid cloud system.

Dell has collaborated with Microsoft Corporation, which would help the company to extend its cloud facility with a newly launched hybrid cloud feature based on Azure. Both organizations have employed their respective technologies to pioneer the Dell Hyrbid Cloud System for Microsoft. The announcement of the system was made by their respective CEOs, Satya Nadella and Michael Dell, on stage at the event of Dell World 2015 on Wednesday in Texas.

The technology has been offered to eliminate the obstacles found on the course to the cloud. Publicized as "the industry's first integrated, modular hybrid cloud solution", this new converged technology integrates application, servers and storing capacity in a combined box and is believed to link easily to the Corporation’s Azure cloud facilities, contravening through the hybrid cloud implementation barriers of control, cost and complication.

Dell news exclaimed that the computer manufacturer stated, "It brings simplified, automated deployment and maintenance capabilities, a unique payment solution to reduce customer investment risk, and unparalleled hybrid cloud governance, control and policy-based automation for Microsoft Azure and other cloud environments."

Dell financial service reported that the new hybrid cloud facility is also stated to offer clients with three major benefits: the capability to develop and provision workload patterns through innovative amalgamation with Dell Cloud manager; on-premise private clouds with reliable Azure public cloud access; and basic public and private management of cloud across Windows Azure Pack.

The management decided in the event that the new hybrid cloud proposals would be able to create a huge part of the information technology for future. As part of the proclamation, the company has also participated in the Cloud Solution Provider Program, indicating that it could be taking action as a retailer of Azure facilities, Office 365, and the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite.

Dell drivers affirmed that both organizations’ cloud announcement was shortly followed by Michael Dell comment at Mr. Satya, stating that its hardware appliances are quite expensive.

Mr. Dell took this action after the two of them were asked the question that whether they were ‘frenemies' or friends with the introduction of the Surface that could be witnessed taking Dell’s position as a personal computer manufacturer.

Dell answered by stating, "We're absolutely friends", but then said that clients’ requirements drive the coalitions that he and his company formulate in the industries, and that consumers are interested in Microsoft. "But the volumes are not very high, and the prices are pretty high", Michael added.

It could be assumed that the tie-up would not only intimidate their rivals but also enhance their reputations in the market.

Dell Introduces Internet of Things (IoT) Gateways

Dell has decided to introduce a new product development division, which would help to develop Internet of Things (IoT) gateways.

Dell has decided to introduce a new product development division. Dell news reported that this unit would help in pioneering Internet of Things (IoT) gateways. It is expected that this new department would extend the new technology to a number of sectors, such as software, services, and hardware.

Dell executive director of IoT solutions, Andy Rhodes, has stated that the lengthy implementations of currently operating IoT systems tend to increase the costs of their users. He added that the management is interested in developing systems practically with a major portfolio of IoT enabled services, encompassing manageability, analytics, and security. 

Dell stock informed that the management intends to offer an adjustable and scalable platform for the introduced systems. Market sources highlighted that an American solution provider, KMC Controls, would help the company to pioneer the new unit.

The chief executive of KMC Controls, Richard Newberry, has stated that the development of new solutions requires speed, responsiveness, and security. He added that the computer manufacturer’s IoT gateways help in developing a connection between ‘Internet of Things’ and building automation systems.

Company sources stated that the latest high-tech devices would not only secure and process data but also helps in speeding up the process of data related decision-making. Dell computer affirmed that these products could work with a number of operating systems, including Wind River Linux, Ubuntu, and Microsoft Windows IoT.

Microsoft has appreciated Dell’s initiative and its vice president of worldwide OEM marketing, Peter Han, has stated that the new windows IoT operating gateways would help the company automate safety, analytics, and effectiveness.

The management of the computer developer has also decided to collaborate with the high tech organization, ThingWorx. It is probable that the collaboration between the two companies would provide the technological and business expertise needed to ease the difficulties of employing the modern systems.

Experts stated that if the new products are successful, then they would not only help the company increase its revenues and profits, but also help in improving its image in the global world.

Media sources suggested that the new device would be sold at a price of $479. The users of the company’s IoT products could acquire additional features for extra $200 to $300. Dell should now develop strategies and take steps to pioneer the new systems in the best possible manner, or its efforts might fail in the highly competitive world. The response of the users would finally determine the performance of the new products.

Dell Introduces Network Function Virtualization System

The American computer manufacturer would soon introduce Network Function Virtualization (NFV) system, which would make the work of 'networkers' convenient.

Dell intends to make networking user-friendly. The company would produce devices that are not only transportable but also convenient for developers, as reported by Dell news .This report indicates that the manufacturer would make the lives of ‘networkers’ convenient. Its concern for users and developers has compelled it to pioneer custom devices since its inception, which paid off in a decent manner.

The research department of the device manufacturer is working on machine learning softwares and features for network function virtualization of its servers employed by telecom firms. It is probable that it would achieve its objective in 2020. An official of the company, Jai Menon, has told the press that he feels quite good about the project. This conversation depicted the confidence of the management.

Dell is not working independently on the Network functions virtualization (NFV) program, as its research team has collaborated with the professors of UC Berkeley to establish reliable structures that could aid the project and its related applications. Dell computer informed that NFV servers should not only provide a high quality service but also serve continuously, which proves the reliability of these devices. 

Mr. Menon has stated that the company is researching on a middleware layer for the applications of the program in attempts to facilitate the development of high-tech modern applications. Dell stock informed that it is working to find modern devices that would need something like a FPGA to operate some features of the virtualization program. This information tells us that the firm is quite far away from developing a user-friendly network.

Media sources have highlighted that to further ease its work, the organization has joined the industry open group platform for NFV, which affirms its interest in completing the project as soon as possible. Experts presented the view that the servers of the program would feature higher levels of network bandwidth, floating-point speed, and a memory. It is most likely that these devices would not only deliver performance at a faster pace but also store higher levels of data. It can be inferred that the company would soon revolutionize the field of networking.

Mr. Jai has stated that the new memory would be much more affordable for users. The efforts of the research division indicate that it would soon develop NFV systems. Now it is yet to be seen that to what extent these efforts are able to change the working ways of the high-tech digital networking world.
