Living in the Connected Era

Abstract

p>Change is happening. In a few short years we have moved from email, the internet, instant messaging. Our customers lexicon has evolved to Yahoo, Google, Youtube, My space, Facebook, Twitter and the list goes on. In the early days of the internet we searched for information today we produce and upload our information into the internet cloud. It is about being seen and heard.

In turn this has driven an explosion in connected devices and lead to the “always on” generation.

The increasing torrent of information that people upload, download and share is flooding not just the internet but the intranets that need to access it. Data and the way people want to interact with it is outgrowing our capacity to manage it. The always on generation draw no boundaries they are demanding usability that is seemless between the external web and internal networks.

Dell has been very focused on designing servers, blade servers and storage technology that is scalable, modular, industry standard allowing our enterprise customers to grow their capacity in-line with the demands of the Connected Era.

But the “Always on Generation” are also the “Regeneration”. They are driving the Green movement. Dell is leading the way with reduced power consumption ,more advanced cooling, virtualization technology and its unique Energy Smart technology that will allow you to handle a lot more capacity at a fraction of the cost.
