Foremost Information and Communications Technology (ICT)) company, Dell has once more demonstrated leadership in the ICT industry by showcasing its wide array of differentiated products in the market at a breakfast event organized for Chief Information Officers of organizations at the Southern Sun Hotel, Ikoyi, Lagos.

According to the ICT giant, the offerings come with standard-based systems which do not lock users solely to its platforms, thereby providing users with an open approach ecosystem, flexible scaling and modular systems as well as end-to end-solutions.

Speaking on Dell’s differentiated offerings at the event, the Enterprise Product Manager, Dell, Mr. Shams Hassan, stated that Dell has lots of differentiated products in the areas of networking and storage.

According to Mr. Hassan, “Dell is not only into laptops and desktops as most people believe; Dell is also a very strong player in server and storage as well as networking.” He added that the peculiarity of Dell’s offerings in these spaces is evident in the users’ open access to other vendors, unlike competitors whose platforms are not shareable.

Showcasing Dell’s solution in storage and networking, Mr. Hassan stated that PowerEdge VRTX integrates servers, storage, networking and management into a single office-optimized chassis and delivers greater simplicity, efficiency and versatility.

He added that VRTX’s Chassis Management Controller (CMC) resolves the problems of systems management tool proliferation and complexity with converged management of server nodes, shared storage, networking and power in a unified tool, all in a single console.

Also addressing participants at the event, the Country Manager, Dell Nigeria, Mr. Akin Banuso, spoke on Dell Precision Workstations, which he referred to as the continuous evolution of technology that helps to boost productivity by integrating latest industry-standard technologies into a highly-reliable platform.

In his words, “Dell understands that downtime is costly. That is why we strive to provide a workstation you can depend on, day-in and day-out. Should a problem arise, Dell has the expertise and services to minimize your downtime and get you back up and running quickly”.

Participants expressed satisfaction with Dell’s offerings, especially in providing efficient and effective end-to-end solutions which help organizations run well, while also charging the company to do a lot more in the creation of awareness for its effective solutions.
