In association with Dell Technologies

How we work continues to change and adapt as we move towards the future. The adoption of digital technologies has today been fast-tracked, and we live in a world that continues to prioritise innovation, with organisations setting out to eliminate the barriers and silos that have previously prevented transformation. It is also a world of remote working. Employee experience, connectivity, collaboration and security has never been more important to the new distributed workforce. Increasingly, data is being processed outside of a traditional data centre or cloud – that data will be generated in the real world, at the edge. This means not only having the right infrastructure in place to support this, but a need for real time analytics and intelligence to transform that data into outcomes. At the same time, the future is becoming increasingly multi and hybrid cloud.

Organisations want to put workloads where they work best, maximising choice, mobility, cost and performance. They also want to consume technology on their terms, demanding the flexibility to scale up and down in line with their business requirements.

CDW is Dell’s largest partner globally – we hold the elite titanium black status for our commitment in delivering the Dell family of solutions to support our customers, which gives us privileged access to its expertise and products.

Hybrid cloud solutions

According to Forrester Research, “hardware still matters… but automation makes it all work as it must”. Whether you’re running your workloads in the public cloud, on premise in a private cloud, or a hybrid environment, you need a reliable and seamless experience that allows you to focus on the application and service delivery. CDW understands that a cloud strategy requires much more than technology – it necessitates a different approach to operations and business culture. We call it the ‘Power of 3’: you need a combination of the right strategy, the right partner, and the right technology. CDW can provide all of these. We can help mitigate any risks, providing guidance, discovery, consulting, deployment, configuration, and ongoing management across the whole lifecycle to ensure you continue to innovate and compete in the new digital landscape.
