Dell simplifies cloud experience for developers and IT managers

USA: Cloud adoption across midsize organizations is at an all-time high. In fact, the Dell Global Technology Adoption Index found that 97 percent of respondents are currently using or plan to use cloud computing.

However, what developers want from their cloud experience varies from what IT managers want. Developers require instant access to cloud services and true self-service capabilities, while IT managers wish for greater governance, visibility and integration across the whole cloud spectrum (data center, private, public and hybrid).

Dell is empowering both developers and IT managers by launching the Dell Cloud Marketplace public beta program and forging key industry alliances with Delphix, Docker and Pertino. Dell is also helping developers improve application performance by offering Foglight application performance monitoring as software-as-a-service (SaaS).

Dell Bridges Developer-IT Divide with Dell Cloud Marketplace

Dell Cloud Marketplace public beta program, launched in the U.S., gives developers and IT managers the ability to compare, purchase, use and manage public cloud services from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform and Joyent via a single, unified console on dell.com. Dell Cloud Marketplace is a vendor-agnostic, self-service portal providing developers the agility and functionality they expect from the cloud, while allowing IT managers comprehensive security, visibility and control of the cloud services consumed by the IT organization.

Dell Breaks Down Barriers to Cloud with Industry Alliances

Dell unveiled alliances with Delphix, Docker and Pertino that will enable developers to realize the full potential of the public cloud ecosystem. Dell plans to offer Delphix, Docker and Pertino solutions via the Dell Cloud Marketplace next year, allowing users to subscribe to these solutions along with the public cloud infrastructure resources of their choice.

Dell Helps Developers Improve Cloud-Based Applications with Foglight APM SaaS Edition

When the application is the business, nothing is more important than monitoring its performance to find and fix problems before they negatively impact the business.

Foglight APM SaaS brings fast time-to-value by offering simplicity, depth and smarts to the web and mobile applications community.

It captures details about dozens of performance factors of every transaction to make it easy to identify the real root cause of slow performance – whether it is a specific browser, web page, network provider or request type. These differential analysis techniques mean that application developers, architects, managers and DevOps teams get eye-opening visibility into the slowest performing factors that are buried inside otherwise good performing transactions and identify areas of improvement and optimization.
