Dell Launches Storage Center in India
Dell today announced the launch of its Dell Storage Design Center in India. The sixth of its kind across the globe, the Bangalore Center will strengthen the coordinated development of Dell’s servers, storage and networking in alignment with the company’s focus on IT convergence solutions and its broader enterprise business portfolio.
Dell plans to ramp up operations with its state-of-the-art engineering lab by adding storage architects, design engineers, software developers and engineering managers focused on enterprise storage technologies and data center integration.
Dell’s storage design centers in Austin, Texas; Eden Prairie, Minn.; Nashua, N.H.; San Jose, Calif., Tel Aviv, Israel and now Bangalore will collaborate to create next- generation storage technologies and data center integration while adding to Dell’s strengths in storage automation, flash technology, virtualization and ease of use. As an additional design center, the Bangalore Storage Design facility will focus on a variety of key development areas including management software, support tools, integration, validation and sustaining activities for the Dell Storage portfolio.
Enterprise customers are driving new requirements in storage, and Dell is at the forefront of a new storage landscape. With solutions in Cloud, Flash, Big Data, Convergence, BYOD, Software Defined Infrastructure and VDI, Dell offers customers an optimized enterprise with breakthrough performance and efficiency. Storage plays a critical role in Dell’s end-to-end solutions portfolio with an award-winning product line.
Dell has been investing significantly to develop India as one of its key global research and development (R&D) centers. In 2010, it acquired Force10 Networks and began to develop India as a Dell Networking R&D hub and global Center of Excellence. Similarly, the Dell Server R&D Center in Bangalore has been contributing to Dell’s server innovations since 2001, playing a key role in several of Dell’s market successes like the 12G server product line. The Storage Design Center completes the circle of Dell India’s R&D capabilities and will work in conjunction with Networking and Server Development Centers to cater to both local and global markets.
