Acquisition Overview
Dell today announced the acquisition of Enstratius, an award-winning provider of software and consulting services that deliver hybrid-cloud and single-cloud management capabilities.
Why Enstratius?
The acquisition of Enstratius further enhances Dell’s end-to-end solutions strategy bringing key capabilities to deliver cloud management products to our customers. Enstratius is available as software-as-a-service or as on-premise software that enables full control from within a customer’s data center, or via a hosted service.
Enstratius complements the capability Dell recently acquired from Gale Technologies, now Active System Manager (ASM), by providing enhanced multi-cloud management and application configuration capabilities and integrates converged offerings with cloud systems management.
Customer and Partner Benefits
As customers embrace the promise of cloud computing and address the challenge of managing multiple cloud environments, Enstratius simplifies that management task with a self-service catalogue, design tools and management tools that help customers create and deploy multi-component applications across one or more clouds.
Enstratius brings Dell cloud-infrastructure management for public, private and hybrid-cloud deployments. Enstratius also complements other Dell technologies such as Foglight performance monitoring, Quest ONE identity and access management, the Boomi integration platform, and data protection offerings such as AppAssure and NetVault to create a stronger systems management portfolio that specifically addresses cloud systems management.
