This past week, Dell Technologies built on the success of Dell Technologies World (DTW) virtual event by hosting their OEM Design Solutions experience with two full days focused on OEM customers and partners. The content was tailored to the customization of Tier 1 platforms with innovation to create truly differentiated solutions. At Dell Technologies, they believe the best customer solution is a designed solution because the journey allows us to dream, research, prototype, and refine to create solutions customers love.
Enabling the Operational Edge
Many of the themes that were present at DTW continued during this event. There was a focus on the edge as growth is strong in this area, and Dell Technologies has launched significant building blocks to support this end of the compute continuum. They walked us through, looking at the edge as an extension of the cloud with unique requirements. Consider storage as an example, where data is transient, and software-defined and tiered models should be considered. They challenged the audience to look at the edge as a system, see how workloads share attributes across layers, and understand how the edge plays with the rest of the system. Subsequently, they ventured into the future to delve into how we tie systems and services together. The speakers also spoke about understanding how the value AI can bring to the system by shifting the human burden to machine intelligence to achieve scale and manage more than we ever thought possible.
Leveraging Data for a Competitive Advantage
We certainly can't talk about the edge without a discussion around data. It is an essential asset to any organization, and that includes OEM solutions. Within every solution, you are capturing or leveraging data on behalf of your customers. What is the best way to not only monetize that data but also use it to drive better outcomes and create powerful new opportunities? To unleash the power and value of your data, it must be accessible, stored, and protected securely, and mobile so that it can be moved efficiently across the edge, core, and cloud. We must also consider disruptive technologies (AI, 5G, and machine learning) that will only add complexity because of data proliferation and disbursement. We all want to use data to gain insights. It comes from leveraging your data, storing it, protecting it, and scaling solutions into the future.
