If you’re a Dell customer, you likely know that Dell allocates considerable time and resources to proactively soliciting feedback from customers. Called our Net Promoter Score (NPS), the Dell OEM Solutions team recently finished its most recent customer survey and spent some time assessing the feedback and what it means to our business.

We're on a roll at Dell. A few weeks ago, V3.co.uk published a review of our M-series blade capabilities concluding that our, " blade server system can match anything from HP and IBM" . The 4/5 star review also calls out our support for multiple networking and I/O modules as a key area which allows the Dell M-Series "to stand out from the crowd." Add this to numerous other excellent reviews, including significant power & cooling advantages, and the M-Series continues...

True, desktop virtualization can deliver the holy grail of enterprise IT access: any-place/any-time/any-device – without putting your data at risk. But that doesn’t mean it’s right for every application. Just try to run a flight simulator or 3D animation on a virtual desktop to see why. 1 The point is, you have to create a targeted strategy before you can decide if desktop virtualization is right you. And your analysis should start with your end users, not your products, vendors...

When I looked at my ringing mobile phone the Caller-ID said “Dell, Inc.” and I assumed it was a co-worker reminding me about an important meeting I had forgotten. Instead the voice at the other end of the call excitedly whispered in a consciously hushed tone, “I’ve got something you need to see. The world needs to know about it.” Who was this? He sounded vaguely familiar and I asked what he was speaking about to which he responded, “I saw the videos you’ve...
