>> Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining us today. It's really a pleasure to have you here as we explore innovative strategies to drive progress in IT infrastructure. But before we dive in, I'd like to take a moment to thank our valued partners, AMD and Intel, for sponsoring this very important event. Their forward-thinking solutions and collaboration have made today's conversation possible. Their contributions continue to empower advancements in our industry and we're very grateful for their partnership. Now let's start by looking at the challenges that IT departments are facing today. The demands on IT infrastructure are evolving very rapidly. Teams are tasked with managing both traditional workloads, like virtual machines and databases, while also supporting modern demands such as artificial intelligence, containers, and edge computing. On top of that, we're seeing new pressures emerge: AI mandates unpredictable cost, sustainability priorities, and disruptions in the virtualization space. These challenges are reshaping strategies and driving the need for smarter resource use and greater flexibility. In response, IT architecture is undergoing a significant transformation. We're moving toward disaggregated infrastructure, which eliminates the compromises of older architectures by combining the flexibility of three-tier systems with the simplicity of hyperconverged infrastructure or HCI. As organizations increasingly shift to multi-hypervisor environments, the need for a more flexible approach to private cloud infrastructure has never been more critical. And there are three requirements for this new approach. Our customers are asking for, number one, avoiding hypervisor lock-in. Number two, they want flexibility to easily transition between cloud operating systems. And third, they want the efficient, independent scaling of compute and storage. At Dell Technologies, our portfolio of infrastructure and software is ready for this transition. Dell PowerEdge servers are purpose-built to give organizations unparalleled performance and flexibility in virtualized environments. These servers deliver the scalability, resilience, and ease of management that modern IT infrastructure demand, offering 7:1 consolidation. Up to seven older servers can be replaced by a single new PowerEdge server. World record VMwareMark scores highlighting unmatched real-world virtualization performance, up to 73% boost in power efficiency, incorporating technologies like smart power and cooling. And 5% higher performance per watt compared to previous generations, making it a leader in efficiency and computational power. PowerStore, our flagship store solution, is built to support the needs of modern private clouds with a flexible, modern, container-based architecture. Recognized as number one in ease of use, PowerStore is trusted by over 17,000 customers worldwide and backed by the industry's best and only 5:1 data rate reduction guarantee. PowerStore also includes deep integrations with other Dell products, as well as with customer ecosystems. Add networking, an essential pillar, alongside compute and storage to form the backbone of the private cloud environment, it's clear to see why Dell is leading the way. Cyber threats continue to persist and no private cloud is fully secure without cyber resilience. And we continue to innovate within our PowerProtect data domain appliance. Our new PowerProtect data domain all-flash appliance redefines cyber resilience, with four times faster restore times and two times faster replication, and up to 80% lower power consumption and 40% less rack space, and the scalability and security that customers have come to expect from Data Domain to keep pace with unrelenting data growth and increasing cyber threats. We're also innovating in software-driven automation with orchestration to make Dell infrastructure even simpler and more cost-effective to use. Dell Private Cloud, powered by the Dell Automation Platform, provides an open and flexible software ecosystem with automation and integration across the stack. This will allow customers to protect their hardware investments, transition smoothly between cloud operating systems, and vastly simplify operations. A subscription for Dell Private Cloud software seamlessly ties together three essential components: Dell PowerEdge, Dell PowerStore, and your choice of supported third-party cloud operating systems. We're excited to give you the control, agility, and scalability that you need to keep pace with change. So what can you expect from today's session? We're going to outline five steps for modern private cloud success. These aren't just high-level principles, they're very actionable ideas rooted in innovative technology and practical results. So with that, let's get started.
