VISTA Preparing Your Organisation for Microsoft Vista |
SERVICES Reclaim Your IT Resources |
| Costly, unplanned server and storage sprawl wastes money, time, and space. Virtualisation promises to help, but you want to make an informed decision. Virtualisation with Dell is simple, logical and pervasive so it’s better, faster, with no lock-in agenda. This session covers how Dell helps simplify virtualisation deployment and ongoing management with optimised systems, fast-start services, and an open approach to management. Together with VMware and EqualLogic, our virtualisation solutions provide an efficient and agile foundation that can easily scale in-step with your business. |
Windows Vista is a significant upgrade with tangible benefits for key facets of IT infrastructure. While many of the general benefits are clear, it's often the detail that is critical in deciding how to approach your upgrade strategy. Whether you are deploying soon or are still in the planning phase, this session reviews key migration considerations such as licensing and application compatibility. Dell and Microsoft will also show you how to prepare for Vista Deployment through a suite of available tools and services that reduce the costs and complexity of the implementation of Vista and the upcoming Windows Vista Server in your organisation. |
Dell Services invite you to learn how we can support your organisation with project engagements around Virtualisation, Storage, Datacenter and Microsoft environments. Our Solution Architects can help innovate and automate the way your organisation deploys and installs technology and proactively manage and support your technology to ensure maximum uptime. |

GREEN IT Compute More, Consume Less |
MOBILITY Protect, Connect, Anytime, Anywhere |
WORKSTATION SUMMIT |
| Limited space, power, and cooling capacity—coupled with rising energy costs—make it difficult for your company to keep up with explosive data growth and increasing performance requirements. Learn how you can increase data center performance by up to 97% with zero increase in energy consumption through a combination of energy optimised technologies, virtualisation, and best practices with Dell and APC’s suite of energy-efficient solutions. |
As your workforce becomes more mobile, their needs increase as well. Productivity relies on their notebook’s connectivity, battery life, and durability. They need solutions that can go with them into a wide range of non-traditional and challenging environments. And as mobility enables a greater level of collaboration, users require new levels of support to fully engage with each other. Dell and Intel not only delivers mobile solutions to meet these evolving needs, but we also provide tools which simplify the deployment, management, and security of your clients. These solutions hold fast to our philosophies of commonality and long product lifecycles to keep your TCO in check. |
