Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dell Technologies, Michael Dell said, “IoT is fundamentally changing how we live, how organisations operate and how the world works.

Dell Technologies yesterday unveiled its Internet of Things (IoT) vision and strategy, a new IoT division as well as new specific products, labs, partner programme and consumption models.

The announcement underscores the company commitment to helping customers realise their digital future by safely navigating the complex and often fragmented IoT landscape.

As more and more customers look to digitally transform their business, a new model of computing is emerging. For the last 15 years, the IT industry has seen the rise of Cloud Computing, a highly centralised model for delivering IT services.

But in an age where every type of device, from phones to cars to light bulbs to thermostats to heart monitors are alive and intelligent, there is a requirement for distributed, real time, processing of information. These devices simply cannot wait for a response from centralised cloud infrastructure that may be ‘seconds’ away.

Speaking, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dell Technologies, Michael Dell said, “IoT is fundamentally changing how we live, how organisations operate and how the world works. Dell Technologies is leading the way for our customers with a new distributed computing architecture that brings IoT and artificial intelligence together in one, interdependent ecosystem from the edge to the core to the cloud. The implications for our global society will be nothing short of profound.”

Customers have expressed a growing need for one company to pull together complete IoT solutions that can be deployed within their organisations. Dell Technologies’ comprehensive approach to IoT is based on market leading technology and services and a carefully curated partner ecosystem designed to realise value for customers today and prepare them for the future.

The company’s new IoT Division will be led by VMware CTO Ray O’Farrell, and is chartered with orchestrating the development of IoT products and services across the Dell Technologies family. The IoT Solutions Division will combine internally developed technologies with offerings from the vast Dell Technologies ecosystem to deliver complete solutions for the customer.
