Alison Biers & Alyson Langon, Dell Technologies | 5 Steps to Smarter Private Cloud

As part of Dell's "5 Steps to a Smarter Private Cloud" event, theCUBE analyst Dave Vellante talks with Alyson Langon, director of product marketing at Dell Technologies, and Alison “Ali” Biers, senior director for server, networking and vertical industries at Dell Technologies. The discussion focuses on why disaggregated infrastructure is central to Dell’s private cloud strategy, how an open ecosystem helps avoid hypervisor lock-in and where predictable TCO is driving on-premesis adoption. Pairing PowerEdge with Dell Networking and Enterprise SONiC creates consistent operations across vendors while partnerships around AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon raise performance-per-watt and enable consolidation, according to Biers. IDC leadership for PowerEdge over eight years reinforces the trust customers place in Dell, she adds.

Langon details how PowerStore’s unified block-and-file design, scale-up and scale-out options and built-in security underpin modern private cloud. New AI-driven automation and self-healing accelerate issue resolution so teams can focus on higher-value work, she says. The conversation then turns to the Dell Automation Platform and Dell Private Cloud for appliance-like lifecycle management with independent scaling of compute and storage. Support for VMware and Red Hat is available now with Nutanix coming and customers can stand up workload-ready clusters in about two and a half hours with 90% fewer steps backed by extensive Dell validation, Langon notes. They close on cyber resilience with PowerProtect and all-flash Data Domain that speeds protection while cutting power and rack space, backed by a cyber recovery guarantee, she adds.
