      Dell Technologies gives you many ways to dive into Esports.

    • Design a dream Esports Lounge

      Your dream setup is a lounge with space for two teams of gamers, home and away. Kit it out with high-performance Alienware desktops and accessories.

      Alienware laptops can help your gamers train remotely.

    • Power to the team

      Give power to your media team with a broadcast suite featuring Dell Precision workstations, and a viewing area to capture the action.

    • Go multipurpose on a budget

      For a budget-friendly option, share powerful Dell PCs across gaming and media – and also other activities such as research.

    • Storage and Connectivity

      Connectivity is key to performance. As a first step, hardwire PCs to the network. But think about on-premises/cloud storage for gaming video, and data-centre switching.

    • Gaming tech to power your team

      • Experience high-performance gaming

        For a dedicated gaming experience, choose Alienware.

        Gaming desktops are designed for immersive visuals, rapid responses, and efficient cooling. Gaming laptops provide performance for a team on the go. And Alienware Command Centre software helps configure machines for success.

      • Accessories that offer an edge

        Gaming is about detail – and Alienware accessories such as headsets, mice, monitors and keyboards can make the difference.

        Your team could game on a professional gaming keyboard designed with input from Team Liquid, the most awarded team in esports history.

      • PCs for Precision

        For your esports broadcast suite, look for Dell Precision workstations and laptops – at a range of sizes and performance levels.

        For example, the Precision 7960 Tower Workstation offers an ultimate level of performance, with up to a 56 Core, 350W Intel Xeon processor.

      • Peripherals that prove essential

        Dell accessories meet the needs of your media or broadcast team.

        Combine headsets for concentration, and speakers and soundbars for the spectator viewing area. Use monitors of all sizes to capture the action – and keyboards and mice to get the work done.

      • Create a support network

        Our PowerSwitch portfolio is designed for low latency and high throughput, using high bandwidth switching and improved congestion monitoring.

        Switches support up to 48 ports of 10G multi-Gig with 90W PoE per port.

      • Switch up at the data centre

        In the data centre, Dell switches are designed for performance within a range of possible network architectures.

        Choose from PowerSwitch spine-and-leaf or core/aggregation designs, or pick switches to suit the Dell PowerEdge MX modular infrastructure.

      • Storage that helps the team

        Dell offers efficient and secure solutions for esports data storage.

        For the flexibility you need, combine on-premises storage – such as all-flash PowerStore or software-defined PowerFlex – with Dell Apex Storage for Public Cloud.

    • Create your Esports Lounge

      With such a variety of options, creating an Esports lounge means finding the right balance of hardware, accessories and networking.
