Under one roof: How Dell EMC optimizes server usage | #DellEMCWorld
Many companies and customers are wondering what the merger of Dell and EMC means for them. Will their server access be the same? How will their computing power be affected, and what assets will remain?
Ashley Gorakhpurwalla, president and GM of the Server Division, Dell EMC, at Dell Technologies Inc., answered these and other important questions regarding the merger and server usage. Gorakhpurwalla talked with Dave Vellante (@dvellante) and Stu Miniman (@stu), co-hosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during theDell EMC World event about servers and Dell’s new direction.
Now that Dell and EMC have merged, Dell Technologies claims the number one position in server shipments. Though this ranking may only last a few weeks, it’s a major milestone for the company, according to Gorakhpurwalla.
Dell had a long-standing relationship with EMC prior to the two becoming a single entity, and that relationship was reinvigorated when Dell sold servers to EMC, according to Gorakhpurwalla. Their existing partnership has now made it even easier to get a jump start on the competition from day one of the merger.
Coming together
Now that these two industry leaders have become one, Dell has “everything we need for an engineered solution,” said Gorakhpurwalla. They have access to every part of the process they need in house and under one company roof.
For customers this means utilizing far fewer units than they have before. Customers can now get their work done on “three units instead of 30,” said Gorakhpurwalla. They’ve also combined software applications and hardware so that everything is scale ready, he added.
Utilizing data
Workloads are now advancing in the enterprise, according to Gorakhpurwalla, and Dell wants to help alleviate the stress of managing it all. Most companies under-call the amount of data they have or use and are unable to make “real-time decisions,” said Gorakhpurwalla. Dell is focusing on creating faster response times so that companies can better utilize their data streams.
By optimizing capability and computing speed, Dell can better prepare its customers for the future of technology. With Dell’s and EMC’s merger, whatever workloads a company has, “you can optimize with us,” said Gorakhpurwalla.
