Since the 1950s, information technology has been evolving. Many of these strategies and technologies — the Internet, email and remote connectivity to name a few — have had enormous staying power and can still be of great use to your business. As you plan and execute projects this year, let Dell help you stay on top of the latest technologies and trends. Dell's recently refreshed hardware products, easy-to-deploy software offerings and comprehensive suite of services can help you stay current and maintain efficiency. |
| Virtualization
Due to the implementation simplicity and the time and cost savings that can be realized, virtualization solutions are continuing to expand. However, as with most IT initiatives, virtualization solutions are often sought only when IT issues — power consumption, space saving and physical server consolidation — escalate. Virtualization is designed to alleviate these business growth issues by reducing the number of physical servers in use, boosting uptime, improving processes and keeping employees productive. |

With Dell, you can build a management solution that is centered around your business needs, not around our products. We work with the top management partners in the industry, from VMware®, Microsoft®, Symantec™/Altiris™, BMC Software and Egenera®, to add hardware management functionality to their tools. That way, we can help you maximize your existing investments or design a new management solution to solve your unique challenges. As the number of mobile solutions increases, so does the need to closely manage distributed resources and protect sensitive data. With centralized client virtualization, Dell helps you keep track of each user without limiting their access. |  |
Companies can separate physical assets from users by providing them with a digital identity to access their personal data securely. By doing so, your business can achieve flexibility, control and efficiency in a way that helps lower total cost of ownership. In addition, client virtualization brings with it simplified management. With everything in a centralized location, it’s much easier to patch, upgrade and protect to minimize time spent on IT issues and maximize time allotted on strategic initiatives. |
Security
Customized solutions are designed to reduce and eliminate data breaches with a multilayered approach. Employing layered security enables businesses to proactively and responsively protect IT resources, including mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs. Security threats have evolved over the last few years and continue to stay a step ahead with no single technology available to protect you against every threat. Using this approach, companies can customize security policies to address their individual needs and scale the solution as their infrastructure grows.
The layered security approach comprises four overlapping solutions to provide multiple layers of defense that fit different employee environments: | Featured Video
