With Microsoft, Dell has announced expansion of its cloud portfolio with a new hybrid cloud solution. It has been designed to break down the barriers that customers experience on their path to cloud. Additionally, Dell also is offering an industry-unique payment solution to help customers simplify and minimize risks associated with cloud adoption.

Manish Gupta, Director, Enterprise Solutions Group, Dell India, said,

“Most enterprises in India hesitate while adopting new technologies for various reasons as captured in a recent Dell KPMG study. Data sovereignty and privacy were cited as the biggest barriers to the adoption of emerging technologies such as the cloud. Customers adopting cloud are challenged with various complications when they switch from legacy infrastructure to a cloud-based infrastructure. With Dell and Microsoft co-engineering, the industry’s first hybrid cloud system using a unique payment structure, customers can move to the cloud with zero complication, worry less about their IT infrastructure and focus more on business growth.”

This new system delivers simplified, automated deployment and maintenance capabilities; a unique payment solution to reduce customer investment risk; and unparalleled hybrid cloud governance, control, and policy-based automation for Microsoft Azure and other cloud environments.

“Customers want to simplify and accelerate their journey to the cloud, and today Microsoft and Dell are extending their collaboration to remove many of the traditional barriers to hybrid cloud. With CPS Standard, which is at the heart of the Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft, we’ve worked together to deliver a solution that goes beyond other integrated systems on the market today, by providing Azure-consistent hybrid cloud services and a fast time to value to help customers enable their hybrid cloud strategy,”

said Scott Guthrie, Executive Vice-President, Cloud and Enterprise, Microsoft.

Dell has also added Dell Cloud Flex Pay to its portfolio of Scale Ready Payment Solutions, which Dell uniquely designed to accelerate customer adoption of cloud solutions wherever they are on their cloud journey.
