Dell Technologies On Demand delivers consumption-based and as-a-service delivery models for its Infrastructure portfolio

Dell Technologies released Tuesday Dell Technologies On Demand, a set of consumption-based and as-a-service offerings on its infrastructure portfolio that deliver IT with the agility of cloud and the control, performance and predictability of on-premises infrastructure. 

As part of this new offering, the company is expanding its extensive flexible consumption portfolio to support Dell EMC PowerEdge servers and the new Dell EMC PowerOne autonomous infrastructure system.  

Customers have the freedom to shift IT infrastructure spending from one-time capital expenses to ongoing operational expenses, predictably and sensibly. Benefits include integrating full-stack solutions from Dell Technologies Cloud to Dell Technologies Unified Workspace to engineered workload solutions for critical business applications and workloads; and matching spending with usage through Pay As You Grow, Flex On Demand or Data Center Utility, three flexible consumption solutions that scale while providing transparency on total cost of ownership throughout the technology lifecycle. 

It also uses advanced data collection and processor-based measurement by the hour with the new Flex On Demand for PowerEdge servers to avoid the costs associated with over-provisioning; provides value-added services with ProDeploy, ProSupport and Managed Services. They can be bundled effortlessly and paired with all the financial consumption models, bringing a tailored as-a-service experience; and expands PCaaS to include small business, offering PC acquisition, lifecycle management of hardware, software, services and financing for growing companies in a single, predictable price per seat per month.

Gartner indicates that by 2022, 15 percent of new deployments of on-premises computing will involve pay-per-use pricing, up from less than 1 percent in 2019. With Dell Technologies On Demand, businesses can choose between several flexible consumption options, including global support, deployment and managed services. This helps customers reduce the management of on-premises IT to make it as easy to consume as public clouds. 

For example, the new PowerOne autonomous infrastructure transforms into infrastructure as a service when paired with flexible consumption solutions and value-added services from Dell Technologies On Demand. The customer pays for what they use when they use it.

"The multi-cloud world is here and will only grow, which means customers need on-demand and consistent infrastructure that yield predictable outcomes across all of their clouds, data centers and edge locations," said Jeff Clarke, vice chairman, Dell Technologies. "Dell Technologies On Demand makes it possible for organizations to plan, deploy and manage their entire IT footprint. They can choose how they consume and pay for IT solutions that meet their needs with the freedom and flexibility to evolve as their needs change over time." 

Dell Technologies On Demand offers flexible payment options for an extensive range of technologies across the full infrastructure stack, including compute, storage, networking and virtualization. Software-defined and hybrid cloud solutions are available via Dell Technologies Cloud and VMware, along with modern data protection, PC and digital workspaces. 

Dell Technologies partners can now resell Dell Technologies On Demand to their customers. More than 2,000 channel partners already are using payment solutions from Dell Financial Services (DFS), and partners who finance with DFS have historically grown twice as fast with Dell than those who do not finance with DFS.

"By providing flexible consumptions options on essential infrastructure through Dell Technologies On Demand, we can help customers make quicker decisions and realize a faster return on investment with our offerings," said S.S. Lim, managing director at PTC, a Dell Technologies Titanium partner. "We needed to help our customers adopt a pay-per-use model, so they don't have to secure a budget for capital expenses. By working with Dell Technologies, we can do this by spreading out their payments over time, enabling them to start using technology more quickly to help achieve their business goals."

"The media and entertainment industry has unique technology needs, and for years, we have partnered with Dell Technologies to provide enterprise-grade, scalable technology that our customers know they can count on," said Kris Kostiuk, director, business development - media & entertainment at Scalar, a CDW Company. "With Dell Technologies on Demand, our customers benefit from push-button elastic capacity, and only pay for the technology they use, so they can concentrate their focus on creating amazing work."

Dell Technologies enhances secure commercial PCs with VMware Carbon Black Cloud endpoint security portfolio

Dell Technologies announced on Monday that the company is expanding its enterprise endpoint security portfolio to include VMware Carbon Black Cloud, to make organizations more resilient against advanced cyberattacks. 

The threat landscape is complex and constantly evolving, especially as more employees are mobile and working from anywhere and anytime. But the PC can be an important tool in the defense against these threats and attacks. 

Dell Technologies enterprise endpoint security helps protect the system starting at the very foundation with Dell Trusted Devices, creating secure commercial PCs. Now with additional capabilities from Carbon Black and Secureworks, organizations can be confident their endpoints are more secure both below and above the OS.

Dell Technologies' enterprise endpoint security solution gives organizations peace of mind by helping to stop security threats from slowing down their businesses. The combination of threat prevention from VMware and detection and response from Secureworks uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to proactively detect and block endpoint attacks, while security experts can hunt for and remediate identified threats across the endpoint, network and cloud.

New capabilities help companies use artificial intelligence and machine learning technology to help stop malware, fileless and ransomware attacks. This flexible prevention solution can be implemented to help stop attacks from compromising the endpoint.

Security teams can use enhanced insights and analytics to validate and remediate identified threats to get them out of their environment. The solution is also offered as a managed service where trained security experts monitor and manage customer environments around the clock and provide expert remediation guidance.

The solution identifies the presence of compromises and entrenched threat actors operating in the corporate network. And in the event of an active breach, companies will receive complete management and assistance to help quickly contain and eliminate the threat, and to help create processes to keep the threat from reoccurring.

"Cyber criminals are constantly pushing the limits with difficult-to-discover attack vectors, especially those targeting endpoint devices," said Rahul Tikoo, senior vice president of Dell Technologies Commercial Client. "We have to take a multi-layered approach to security. With the addition of VMware Carbon Black Cloud as the preferred endpoint security solution for Dell Trusted Devices and Secureworks, our customers can be more secure while doing their best work."

"As we continue to build on VMware's vision for intrinsic security, it's clear that we are all stronger when we combine the right people and the right technology," said Patrick Morley, general manager, Security Business Unit, VMware. "Dell's selection of VMware Carbon Black Cloud as its preferred endpoint security, in combination with Dell Trusted Devices and Secureworks, serves as continued validation that we are providing a comprehensive form of endpoint protection. We now have the opportunity to work together and further expand our collective ability to keep worldwide customers protected from advanced cyberattacks."
