What do you think are the storage pain points in emerging markets, India in particular?

In the virtual era, how we consume information has changed, its changing organizations too.

Having said that, in storage, I know for sure that cost reduction is the key priority. Data integrity, availability and security continue to be of paramount importance.  Security will be the focus especially as cloud computing gains momentum. Consolidation still remains a challenge. Of course, storage systems should also interact well with heterogeneous hosts and applications.

How is Dell helping customers address these pain points?

 Our open, capable and affordable Intelligent Data Management (IDM) solutions ensure enterprises achieve enormous storage efficiencies. IDM actually helps to prioritize and classify stored content and direct it more securely and efficiently to the right storage asset. IDM is now delivered with Dell Compellent’s Fluid Data architecture and as most customers would know that fluid changed the way you experienced storage.

We ensured a very strong foundation when building the IDM architecture with strategic acquisitions like EqualLogic, Exanet, Ocarina Networks and notably Compellent.  Today, our storage focus is well recognized.  In fact, we feature in the Gartner Leaders Quadrant.
