Full Story:
Dell EMC today announced broadened support of Microsoft

for Microsoft Exchange and SQL, as well as customer momentum for
the Dell EMC Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft. The new services
and validated systems can enable customers to increase business
agility, improve efficiencies and lower costs with highly
customizable hybrid cloud and infrastructure solutions.
“For more than 30 years, Dell EMC and Microsoft have focused on
delivering best-in-class, innovative solutions that span the entire
Microsoft product portfolio to organizations all over the world,”
said Jim Ganthier, senior vice president, Validated Solutions
Organization, Dell EMC Converged Platforms Solution Division.
“Together, we are working to both simplify and accelerate
customers’ journey to the cloud, helping them build individualized
cloud solutions that are future-proofed for business and IT
transformation.”
Through this alliance, Dell EMC today announced availability of
a new suite of Azure Cloud Services, which enables customers to
easily adopt hybrid cloud services, increasing efficiencies and
extending the capabilities of their IT infrastructure. These cloud
services are hosted, managed and delivered from Azure. Backed by
Dell EMC enterprise-grade service level agreements, 24/7 tech
support and service health monitoring, customers pay only for the
services consumed and without long-term contracts. The new services
include:
- Azure Backup – a flexible,
secure, scalable backup solution in Microsoft’s cloud management
portfolio. With no capital investment and consumption-based
pricing, this service delivers significant cost savings while
protecting data running in virtual machines or on physical servers,
as well as in Azure.
- Azure Dev/Test Labs – a service
that allows developers and testers to create and provision Windows
and Linux environments quickly using reusable templates and
pre-provisioned environments in Azure. As a result, customers can
minimize time and waste, control costs and scale-up load testing
efficiently.
- Azure Business Continuity
Solution – utilizes multiple Azure services delivered with Dell
EMC consulting, provisioning, break/fix support, and single-source
pay-as-you-go billing. This solution brings enterprise-class
business continuity to small businesses by making it accessible and
radically simpler without having to design, build, or maintain it
on their own.
Dell EMC Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft Gains Momentum,
Help Businesses to Simplify Cloud Delivery, Management and
Scale
Since introduced in October 2015, customers from financial
services to technology providers have selected the Dell EMC Hybrid
Cloud System (DHCS) for Microsoft to power their hybrid cloud
environments. These customers are benefiting from the industry’s
first integrated, hybrid cloud solution that offers simplified,
automated deployment and maintenance capabilities and unparalleled
hybrid cloud governance, control, and policy-based automation for
Azure with an optional, unique payment solution to reduce
investment risk:
- Glarner Kantonalbank, an innovative
digital Swiss bank, wanted to upgrade its already successful hybrid
cloud. Glarner Kantonalbank chose the DHCS, installed with the help
of Dell EMC Deployment Services, in the first rollout of its kind
in Europe. As a result, it can expand and become a full service
provider of digital services for other banks.
- CGI Group Inc., the fifth largest
independent information technology and business process services
firm in the world, offers private cloud deployments with a
customized approach to meet client requirements. With DHCS, the
company significantly improves time-to-value for clients by
simplifying deployments, reducing risks, and cutting deployment
time by up to 50 percent.
- PeeringOne, a Malaysian-based cloud
provider, needed to meet growing customer demand for cloud services
and guarantee reliability and performance. The modular scale-out
architecture of the DHCS enabled PeeringOne to minimize capital
expenditure and leverage cost savings to ensure compelling customer
price points.
- Pulsant, a UK-based cloud hosting
company, increasingly required a hybrid cloud based on Microsoft
technology. After running a successful proof of concept, the
company deployed two DHCS appliances and expects its new hybrid
cloud offerings to drive up to $2 million (US) in new
business.
New Validated Systems Drive Business Intelligence and
Collaboration Efforts
Dell EMC’s converged infrastructure leadership spans tested and
validated reference architectures, solution bundles, validated
systems and turnkey, fully engineered systems for a variety of use
cases. The Dell EMC converged infrastructure portfolio covers the
“build” to “buy” continuum, so customers can easily and effectively
adopt key technologies, such as flash, software-defined storage and
scale-out architectures, in industry leading offerings, purpose
built for wherever they are in their digital transformation
journey. In support of its service-defined infrastructure approach,
Dell EMC today unveiled two additions to its Validated Systems
portfolio:
- Dell EMC Validated System for Microsoft
SQL is designed for superior performance, significant cost savings
and scalability for future needs. It allows customers to process
in-memory online transaction processing (OLTP) workloads up 30
times faster with Microsoft SQL Server 2016, as well as consolidate
sprawling legacy databases with the latest Dell EMC PowerEdge R830
servers for a modern data warehousing solution with exceptional
performance and total cost of ownership.
- The Dell EMC Validated System for
Microsoft Exchange is a pre-architected and validated datacenter
solution for email workloads. The highly scalable system delivers
faster time to value by shortening the design, delivery and
configuration time for Exchange Server 2016. Designed for
exceptional scalability, this converged system lowers cost of
ownership through resource consolidation, optimized storage design
and efficient system management built on the Dell EMC PowerEdge
R730xd server.
These new Dell EMC Validated Systems can be configured, quoted
and ordered in minutes, while lifecycle management tools allow
customers to easily deploy, scale and update systems.
Customer Quotes:
Mike Oreno, system administrator at ARIIX"With Microsoft Azure
Backup services from Dell EMC, we are saving more than 65 percent
compared to our previous solution. Rather than waiting for a report
at the end of the month, we can see exactly how much data was
backed up each night. This insight saves time and helps us be more
proactive supporting the business."
Ralf Luchsinger, chief information officer at Glarner
Kantonalbank“We estimate that the Dell EMC Hybrid Cloud System for
Microsoft solution will have paid for itself within a year as a
result of the team being able to take a lot of services back
in-house that we’d previously outsourced. Additionally, we can be
creative rather than reactive with our hybrid cloud from Dell EMC.
We’re in a good place to stay ahead of the competition.”
Dimitris Karabinis, solutions architect in CGI’s U.S. Global
Infrastructure Services and Onshore Delivery“The Dell Hybrid Cloud
System is helping us prepare for whatever the future may hold with
its extraordinary scalability and ease of installation. It enables
us to focus less on building and maintaining infrastructure and
more on delivering the high-value services our clients need going
forward.”
Wong Chee Voon, managing director at PeeringOne“We can offer
customers in Malaysia the full value of cloud IT for improving
business performance while reducing costs using our Dell EMC Hybrid
Cloud System for Microsoft. Since deploying the system, we have
realized 120 percent sales increase through multiple cloud
architectures and maximized returns with implementation time cut by
80 percent.”
Stuart Nielsen-Marsh, Microsoft cloud services product manager
at Pulsant“We are excited about the potential applications of the
Dell EMC Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft. This is just the
beginning of an exciting journey into the hybrid cloud for us and
our customers, and we couldn’t have better partners than Dell EMC
and Microsoft on board.”
Partner Quote:
Aziz Benmalek, vice president, Worldwide Cloud and Hosting
Services at Microsoft“Dell and Microsoft have a long history of
working together to speed customers’ journey to hybrid cloud. We
are pleased to extend our alliance with Dell EMC to help even more
customers leverage hybrid cloud on their terms with Microsoft Cloud
Services.”
