Optimize your IT environment with converged infrastructure solutions from Dell
You can significantly improve the efficiency, agility and resiliency of your IT organization — with converged infrastructure. If you find your organization missing deadlines or struggling to respond fast enough to customer demands, if you lack sufficient budget or resources to deliver on critical business initiatives, or are challenged to predictably deliver high-quality services that the business demands — converged infrastructure can help.
What is converged infrastructure?
In its simplest sense, convergence is a means of integrating multiple IT components for better efficiency. When you combine these components — like servers, networking and storage — into a single entity or solution, you can pool and share their collective resources more effectively. You also can simplify and centralize the management of those resources and achieve significant cost savings.
But we believe there's much more to it than that
Most converged solutions on the market focus solely on the infrastructure. With Dell, you benefit from a strategic approach that touches every part of IT: applications, infrastructure and management.
We base our solutions on open architecture, flexible delivery models and unified support. From reference architectures to fully pre-engineered installations, we help you achieve an automated data center platform that provides these primary benefits:
Dell Active Infrastructure accelerates the delivery of IT services with a workload-optimized, automated and integrated infrastructure. It gives you an open and heterogeneous architecture, template-based automation and end-to-end support. This not only greatly reduces your time-to-value and lowers your costs, but it can enable you to respond more rapidly to dynamic business needs, maximize efficiency and offer consistent, high-quality IT services. Our portfolio comprises:
