DCS prototypes and builds custom hardware solutions designed to fit unique customer requirements, while maximizing the advantages of commodity components. DCS solutions ensure optimized acquisition Capex and a reduction in Opex through lower operational costs. By targeting the needed features precisely, Dell can reduce or eliminate the acquisition and operational “feature tax” of unnecessary hardware functionality.
DCS approaches server and storage design from a rack perspective instead of maximizing features within an individual server. Customers benefit from the density, energy efficiency and reduction of deployment complexity. Design-to-order hardware is a natural extension of Dell’s direct business model.
