Dell Technologies has introduced multi-cloud capabilities that provide a uniform experience regardless of where apps and data are stored. Dell also adds additional services and tools to assist developers choose the proper cloud environment while maintaining the security, support, and predictability of Dell infrastructure.
“Today’s multi-cloud reality is complex as data becomes more distributed across on-premises and colocation data centres, multiple public clouds and edge environments," said Jeff Boudreau, President, Infrastructure Solutions Group, Dell Technologies. “We have the industry’s broadest technology portfolio, consistent tools, experience building open ecosystems and leading data storage capabilities, services and supply chain. All this uniquely positions Dell to help customers take control of their multi-cloud strategy.”
“Our customers want simplicity, agility, and a consistent experience to manage their data across multiple cloud environments. With our sustained investments in expanded multi-cloud portfolio and a vibrant cloud ecosystem, we will enable organisations to improve spend predictability, transparency, and scalability. Through our strategic ecosystem approach, customers can securely store, access, and consume data wherever it is created and consume cloud services anywhere their business needs it,” explained Amit Midha, President, Asia Pacific & Japan, and Global Digital Cities, Dell Technologies.
According to a new Forrester Consulting report commissioned by Dell Technologies, 83% of companies have adopted or plan to implement a multi-cloud strategy in the next 12 months. Dell's new services make it easier for businesses to manage, store, and protect data across numerous cloud platforms.
