Intelligent Data Systems

When considering which intelligent data systems to deploy, IT teams must take into consideration the wide range of intelligent data management challenges confronting organizations today.

Data volumes have never been greater and are growing at an unstoppable pace. At the same time, IT environments are more complex than ever, with data distributed across storage sites on premises and in public, private or hybrid clouds. Regulations are ever more stringent, complicating the use and storage of data and tying up IT staff resources with legal and compliance inquiries. Performance SLAs continue to get tighter, making it imperative that intelligent data systems not add additional strain on IT systems or increase backup windows. And despite all of these challenges, IT departments are required to do “more with less” as their budgets are constrained or even reduced.

For organizations seeking ways to cost-effectively combat the challenges of data management, Dell provides intelligent data systems that drastically reduce the cost and complexity of managing and protecting data. 

Intelligent data systems from Dell Technologies include:

• Data protection and backup appliances. Dell appliances include cloud-enabled protection storage, software-defined solutions and integrated appliances that dramatically simplify data management.
