Dell is trying to develop software that facilitates the management of terminals and PCs, and enhance their security. The company is also betting on appliances and servers that integrate business intelligence, and are capable of providing cloud services. The PC vendor wants to bring its modes of services with the hardware, and offer packages that instantly offer IaaS and SaaS solutions and priority management software for mobile devices. "At Dell World this week, we're talking about the disruptive forces that our customers are facing, such as cloud, social media, mobility, data and security," said Suresh Vaswani, president, Dell Services. "This year we've seen enterprises turn increasingly to Dell Services to help modernize and adapt their IT environments to manage the growing challenges and opportunities presented by these disruptive forces. More and more, our customers are recognizing the power of information technology and services in enabling their business outcomes." To do this, Dell plans to use software technologies inherited from Kace, SonicWall and Wyse. At Dell World 2012, Dell unveiled a new mobile solution that aims to make it easier for enterprises to manage employee-owned devices in the enterprise. The new K3000 appliance offering supports phones and tablets running iOS 4.5 and Android 2.2 or higher. In an effort to grow its services further, Dell unveils solutions on cloud, social media, mobility, data and security at Dell World 2012. Dell SecureWorks is teaming with FireEye, a leader in advanced threat protection, to protect customers from advanced cyber-attacks. Dell also revealed new SupportAssist technology to provide proactive support for Dell PowerEdge servers, PowerVault storage arrays and PowerConnect switches. SupportAssist will help remote monitoring, automatic case creation and data collection, as well as proactive parts dispatch with customer consent. The company also launched a new Storage Consulting Accelerators service for storing, protecting and archiving massive amounts of data. The service aims to help narrow the gap for developing an integrated custom data management solution with sound cost/benefit analysis.
