Enjoy a Seamless Workload Experience with Dell Technologies Cloud

Your organization’s global users demand and deserve a seamless experience; no matter where they do their work or where the workloads or data that they depend on actually reside. If you have been following our discussion of workload placement and the benefits of optimizing your organization’s infrastructure for your most critical workloads in this series, you know that cloud has been a constant theme. As we laid out in our last entry which explored migrations and how effective placement strategies evolve over a given workload’s lifecycle, there is no single answer to workplace placement. To ensure you are ready for whatever comes next, your best bet is a hybrid approach to IT that embraces multiple clouds as well as edge and data center technology and enables easy migration between any of these environments.

As new applications need to be onboarded organizations must balance meeting immediate needs with sustainable long-term IT strategies. Your task then becomes looking at existing platforms and future investments holistically to optimize for the most critical needs on the fly. At Dell Technologies, we believe that one strategy clearly emerges for organizations to meet the requirements demanded of them: delivering a seamless experience across clouds. By focusing on consistency organizational requirements and application characteristics can drive more accurate placement of workloads to avoid costly repatriation and optimize cloud economics.

Optimizing for workloads in a multi-cloud context means leveraging one or more public clouds and on-premise infrastructure together to maximize  the agility, flexibility, scalability, and intelligent automation that your users’ workloads require. This modern strategy embraces existing platform investments  as well as  more recent investments to create overall alignment with your business and its top priorities. At Dell Technologies we support your applications, databases and emerging tech use cases everywhere. We can store, run & protect your organization’s workloads consistently across your distributed environment and help you met on your internal goals. Let us help you keep the focus on the workloads which are most important to your bottom-line by creating a unified experience across your public, private and edge clouds.

A seamless experience has become a requirement, and location is no longer an acceptable excuse. Organizations today have all accepted that cloud is more than a place; it is an operating model. But at Dell Technologies, we recognize that the workload placement conversation is not completed by only discussing data center and cloud. As Jeff White covered this last month in his own Direct2DellEMC blog, the edge is more than a place too. That is why cloud is an integral part of both the full Dell EMC stack and our advance edge platforms. Dell Technologies helps you optimize your infrastructure as needed, by bringing continuity and familiarity to your team and end-users.
