Beginning in early 2013, Dell’s Active System Manager will incorporate Gale Technologies technology to provide an IaaS platform for end-to-end automation and orchestration of application, virtual desktop infrastructure, and private cloud deployments using VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization technologies.
Dell has also created a new division, Dell Enterprise Systems and Solutions, to develop converged and enterprise workload solutions. This group will focus on optimizing infrastructure for enterprise applications and complex workloads to balance IT agility with capital costs.
