Full story
Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) and GE (NYSE: GE) are extending
their relationship to assist the high-tech industrial company in
managing its IT infrastructure through an as-a-Service model,
enabling GE to more easily scale its IT infrastructure across 170
countries.
Serving as a catalyst for innovation for more than 125 years, GE
is committed to using its leading technology and global reach to
deliver solutions that make the world work more efficiently,
reliably and safely. Its agreement with Dell is key to delivering
on this promise and to create leaner and more autonomous business
units.
"When your business is as diverse as a multinational company
like GE, the simplest changes in your infrastructure can create a
domino effect, impacting a complex global network," said
Bill Scannell, president, Global
Sales & Customer Operations, Dell
Technologies. "Since we began working with GE, our goal has
been to help them reduce the complexity of their vast
interconnected IT resources and deliver a simple way to adapt to
the changes in business strategy. With APEX Custom Solutions, GE
can drive automation and cost savings across its varied
businesses and still maintain predictability by aligning its
expenses with the business value received from the technology."
In using an on-premises cloud from Dell Technologies, GE can
meet business demand and become more agile by quickly transitioning
IT resources without a major reorganization of its infrastructure.
The private cloud approach helps GE create a seamless application
owner experience with automated provisioning and data services that
speeds the deployment of applications and services.
GE is using the Dell Technologies APEX portfolio to quickly
rebalance workloads across its business units, without creating a
significant impact on its businesses and spending.
"We need to have the ability to change as quickly as the world
does regardless of whether we're manufacturing a new jet turbine in
Ohio or AI-based ultrasound
technology in Bangalore," said
Nancy Anderson, chief information
officer at GE. "With data centers around the world, we are working
with Dell to create a consistent way to support all of our business
units that ensures the right IT resources are making it to the
right teams when they need them most."
Using Dell Technologies APEX Data Center Utility, GE can blend
automation and software architecture to support its increasing
workloads from traditional IT applications to data analytics. The
APEX Data Center Utility allows GE to scale up or down its data
center, storage and compute resources on demand as the company
executes an approach that adapts to each business unit's strategy.
This will allow GE to pay for what it uses, helping manage costs
and adjust its spending to changing dynamics. GE is also using Dell
EMC PowerStore and Dell EMC VxRail to assist with its IT
transformation strategy.
