- Dells Unified Private Cloud Managing More Sky -Stables on Dell -hardware
- Dell -Automation Platform can save customers 90% of the steps
- New environments can be set in 2.5 hours
Dell has introduced a new platform that allows customers to create private clouds using VMware, Natanix or Red Hat Stacks, but instead of being a single private cloud, it acts as a unified system to manage multiple cloud stacks across Dell hardware.
Centralized management allows customers to look after different implementations, and although different private clouds cannot share a single knot, they can exist across a shared fleet of servers and storage.
The company noted that customers who implemented private clouds using their Dell automation platform could now be subject to 90% fewer steps, marking significant efficiency improvements.

The Dell Automation platform is described as a “software platform designed to simplify how customers implement and serve divided solutions with safe, zero touch onboarding and centralized management.”
Dell claims that new environments can be created in just 2.5 hours, with the company supporting both bringing-your-own license and its own license.
Only VMware VSPHERE (not cloud foundation) will be supported to begin with, but more templates are said to come later in the year.
The company said in a message: “Organizations can protect their investment with recyclable infrastructure, simplify operations with full life cycle management and support customer choice with a catalog of validated drawings.”
With reference to the early adopter Nature Fresh Farms quoted Dell its VP for it and security, Keith Bradley: “The flexibility to switch between cloud ecosystems and the ability to reuse hardware is a game election for us by providing investment protection and enabling us to meet business needs quickly.”
“Our divided infrastructure approach helps customers build safe, effective modern data centers that transform data into intelligence and complexity into clarity,” Dell’s President of Infrastructure Solutions, Group Arthur Lewis.
