“We’ll save 35 percent on a five-year TCO with the Dell EMC VDI solution. The PowerEdge
rack servers were ready to go out of the box for hosting our storage requirements. We
saved 30 percent compared to a standalone SAN.”
- Bruce Salisbury IT Director, Capital Area Human Services
“We can deploy our PowerEdge servers in minutes because iDRAC is always
on and integrates with Dell EMC OpenManage...”
- Aldo Armiento, Chief Technology Officer, Immobiliare.it
“Dell EMC PowerEdge servers are the foundation of the work we do here. They provide the
automation, the security, the flexibility, and the reliability to make sure that we can continue
to focus on what we do best as a company.”
