But Multicloud Needs to Be Less Complex

However, multicloud needs to be organised into something “much less complex,” said co-COO Chuck Whitten.

“It needs to deliver on the promise of the cloud experience; ease and agility no matter where an organisation has decided to put applications and data and to link the two megatrends. It needs to help you rapidly extract value from data, not lock up your data in silos. It shouldn’t slow analysis, and it shouldn’t slow your decision-making. Multicloud also needs to be more developer-friendly, with a consistent set of tools so that developers can create once, run anywhere, manage consistently and protect continuously. And we’ve heard you loud and clear that it needs to be consumable, many ways including as a service.”

The world, he said, needs multicloud by design, not by default. As such, Dell Technologies is working on “the great unsolved infrastructure challenge.”

“We’ve been on a journey over the last year to deliver software and services that simplify multicloud complexity,” he said.

Whitten also pointed to today’s news that the company is expanding the PowerProtect Cyber Recovery offering it launched last year. The solution enables customers to host their cyber recovery vaults in public clouds. Launched initially for Amazon Web Services (AWS), Dell is expanding it to Microsoft Azure.
