Dell Hits Home Run With Virtual Era And Health Care Solutions: Page 3 of 3

New Open Solutions for the virtual environment, announced at the Bently Reserve, include Intelligent Data Management solutions that manage data throughout its life cycle. For example, from the creation of a new object stored on the DX product to eventual archiving of the data for long-term retention.

Overall, Dell announced quite a wide variety of products, services and solutions.  Dell was clear that they will fully utilize their acquisitions of Perot Systems and KACE to power its ability to provide end-to-end Open and Virtual Solutions. Setting aside any question of whether the acquisitions would be instrumental in Dell's future, they certainly will be heavily utilized. 

Clearly, Dell has been working diligently to build strong alliances with key suppliers in order to make an impressive announcement of how - and with whom - it will move forward in the rapidly growing virtual, cloud and health care markets. The challenge for Dell, as with others, will be how well they manage their alliances and partnerships in order to execute on delivery of all these new solutions and products. If the organization and execution of the announcement is an indicator of a Dell that is focused and ready to play ball, then the we are about to see the company hit more home runs as it executes in this area over the next few years.
