 "Dell Announces New Portfolio Of Mobility Solutions")
Dell has unveiled new solutions that help organisations better plan, deploy and manage mobile and BYOD environments to help drive greater business value from their IT investments. The latest offerings also reinforce Dell’s role in delivering innovative, end-to-end solutions that simplify complex data environments, accelerate cloud transformations, reduce mobility obstacles and mitigate security risks.
According to Gartner, “New technologies, implemented in innovative ways, hold great promise, but they also threaten traditional management models and formal policies. [Companies should] support this new reality by breaking down unproductive silos and freeing employees—through new technologies and processes—to collaborate and communicate more productively with one another.”
“Dell is uniquely positioned to deliver highly differentiated, complete solutions—from clients to cloud and everything in between—that remove the barriers created by legacy technologies while empowering customers and partners to unlock new business opportunities,” said John Swainson, President, Dell Software. “Software is the catalyst to modernising today’s IT environments, enabling organisations to do more and achieve greater business results.”
In addition to Dell’s new mobility solutions and enhancements to its PartnerDirect channel program, Dell Software announced Toad Business Intelligence Suite 2.0. With this latest release, Toad Business Intelligence Suite delivers a host of enhancements designed to further facilitate self-service business intelligence across complex data environments. In related news, Dell Services announced Flexible WorkStyle Consulting to help customers embrace increasingly mobile work environments. Dell Services also announced the Dell ProSupport Enterprise Suite to assist customers in achieving the highest levels of performance and productivity for critical systems.
As an end-to-end provider of secure mobile solutions, Dell Software’s new family of mobility solutions are designed to address a wide range of customers’ BYOD enablement strategies by making it easy to extend and manage mobile access, increase the security of data being accessed remotely, broaden network access to better support BYOD, and improve the user experiences when accessing business applications from a variety of mobile devices. The four mobility solutions are designed to help customers better understand how a combination of devices, network access, enterprise workspace and professional services from Dell can be used to support all stages of BYOD evolution.
Dell Mobility Solutions accommodate Corporate-Owned, Choose-Your-Own and Bring-Your-Own Device (BYOD) management strategies while providing flexibility to interoperate with existing infrastructure and business applications. Additionally, these solutions can be configured to work together as part of a complete turnkey offering, incorporating a full range of Dell devices, including endpoint management, remote network access, monitoring, virtualisation, data protection, security and identity management.

Enable mobile access and applications—For IT directors who are managing PCs using traditional, on-premise system management tools, this solution enables secure access to enterprise applications and data from employees’ personally owned devices with minimal impact.
Transformation to cloud—Mobile user experiences are enhanced by securely incorporating cloud computing and cloud-based services into mobile applications.
