    Dell Software Enhances Endpoint Security Enabling Efficiency and Productivity

    24 Apr 2013
    Some of the costliest security breaches in recent years have been a result of systems not being kept up-to-date with the latest security patches, or from employees finding ‘work arounds’ from locked down desktop environments. Systems management solutions can provide IT organizations with a scalable, cost efficient way to significantly reduce the possibility of a breach, while helping delivering a consistent and secure user environment. Today at the “ Power to Do More: Accelerating Results ” event in San Francisco, Dell Software unveiled new endpoint security enhancements to help IT administrators quickly and flexibly protect data regardless of OS or device, with new...

    Today’s CIOs and IT managers increasingly deal with the complexity associated with managing satellite or branch offices and supporting mobile workers in dispersed locations across the globe. Let’s take franchises as an example of how remote offices and workers can complicate the IT environment. Every new location adds new untrained employees and new equipment to manage. Often, when something goes awry, even a minor problem can become difficult and expensive to solve. A large auto company...

    This week, at the Cisco Networkers event in Barcelona, we announced our OEM expanded partnership with Cisco . Instead of boring you with the details of the agreement and bombarding you with acronyms like LAN, SAN, FCoE and iSCSI – let me cut to the chase. Why does this matter? IT needs to be more closely coordinated than ever before. With IT efficiency tied so closely to business performance, the server, storage and networking folks can no longer operate in silos – they are one...

    I think it’s no surprise to any of our readers that virtualization has many virtues for IT environments -- it’s pretty well-documented. What I’m seeing is that virtualization has now moved beyond the early adopters and back-room applications into the main stream in small and large enterprises alike. The virtualization value proposition is no longer about cost savings on hardware alone; it is about reducing TCO and improving Quality of Service including ease of implementing a Disaster...

    I can’t get enough of MythBusters on the Discovery Channel. Adam and Jamie have quite possibly the best jobs on the planet and I fancy myself an aspiring MythBuster. Today, when I was catching up on my reading (I know, I’m a bit behind), my MythBuster alarm went off. I was going through IBM’s earnings transcript and was struck by a comment that was made on slide 23. IBM seems to assert that more businesses are now moving from x86 servers to RISC servers. I’m not buying...

    OK, I will admit it…when Dell announced last year it was acquiring EqualLogic my e-mail inbox was full of congratulations, kudos and dire predictions. For the latter, the most common themes were around customer service, product development and preservation of our channel business. The reaction I received was that many folks thought EqualLogic had gotten quite a few things right, and they were concerned that may change as we became a part of Dell. As a co-founder of EqualLogic I have a unique...

    For many organizations, software assets provide strong financial and productivity benefits but have ongoing expenses; such as license renewals, true-ups, support and version upgrades. And like any asset – physical, financial or digital – software has to be monitored and maintained. Yet, most companies still struggle with proper software asset management (SAM) which requires setting policies for corporate standards, software evaluation, purchasing, usage and compliance monitoring. According...

    Last year alone The European Patent Office (EPO) granted over 54,000 patents, with many of those originating with applications filed online. These figures show how important issues, such as eGovernment , are critical to increasing efficiency and customer experience for the Public Sector. I am delighted to say that the EPO is working with Dell to accomplish what many Public Sector organisations desire -- the ability to provide faster and smoother services to the community and improve employee productivity...
