Dell Tuesday opened this week’s annual Dell World conference with the introduction of several new server and storage technologies aimed at helping it be a bigger part of the enterprise data center business.
Dell, which with its pending acquisition of EMC already is aiming at becoming a top enterprise data center infrastructure provider, is this week using Dell World to refresh its top-line storage hardware and software lines, introduce new services, and unveil a line of servers targeting the hyper-scale data center business.
Dell is adding a new top-of-the-line model to its Compellent-based SC family of arrays and is refreshing its line of hyper-converged appliances based on the Nutanix software stack, said Travis Vigil, executive director for Dell storage.
