In the digital era, a skilled and effective workforce is essential and the technology to support them is equally vital. It’s the task of technology decision makers to provide every worker with an ecosystem of hardware, software and additional equipment that maximizes each worker’s ability to contribute to the organization. In the search to uncover the facts about worker experience across a broad range of global regions and industries, a survey commissioned by Dell points the way to greater worker effectiveness and organizational competitiveness. The survey found that motivation and engagement are keys to optimizing the performance of every workforce member. And motivation and engagement, in turn, are fueled by technology that meets user needs for power, durability and convenience.

Managing the day to day burden of PC lifecycle management leaves IT little time for innovation. It leaves little opportunity to take advantage of new trends fundamentally changing the way IT is consumed and delivered. And it prevents IT from focusing on the strategic priorities that help drive the business transformation. And, hardware technology doesn’t last forever. It has a lifecycle, a measurable beginning and end to its productivity and value. IT is tasked with optimizing the PC lifecycle and also driving strategic breakthroughs for their organization. To foster growth, IT has to: • Anticipate new requirements • Assess current capabilities and future needs • Design and implement new solutions • Drive new systems into production quickly • Keep systems running at peak performance • Plan and forecast to meet budget needs quarters, even years in advance At the end of the PC lifecycle, when systems are obsolete or new realities trigger change, the process starts all over again. So, how

Everyone is familiar with the process of booting up a computer. Many of us do this every day — pressing the power button, hearing the startup sound, and seeing the home screen appear. But even some tech professionals may not be aware of what’s happening under the surface of their computers. When the CPU of any computer is booted, it communicates with an internal firmware chip called the BIOS (basic input/output system). This BIOS — a tiny hardware microchip hidden within the computer’s motherboard — acts as the gate to all the computer’s hardware and it gives the commands for how each piece of hardware is supposed to behave and interact. The BIOS is considered one of the most valuable parts of a computing system because of its crucial role to the overall operating system. Without the BIOS firmware chip, your computer wouldn’t even be able to load its home screen. Something many of us take for granted.

What you will learn from this infobrief? Digital transformation means many key parts of the business now depend on specific and often very demanding applications. The outcome of these applications can determine the health of the company. Running them on commodity PCs is a risky strategy. Workstations designed to tackle the most challenging workloads can help ensure a positive outcome. Applications can have very specific demands on hardware and the underlying platform — compatibility is critical. Certification helps guarantee a reliable solution. Choosing and paying for the right workstation means understanding the specific roles and workloads and buying a machine certified to handle the load. Trying to save a small amount on upfront hardware costs can end upcosting a lot more than you may realise.

The way products and services are consumed is changing fast, and there is a huge shift away from owning things to paying a fixed monthly fee for using what you need.

For OEM builders of industrial machines and operational technology (OT) solutions, a new reality is taking hold. While manufacturers and other asset-heavy firms today more than ever require purpose-built applications suited to their unique industrial needs, they also want to run those apps and capture and analyze the data they generate using industry-standard hardware and software, via modern IT techniques like virtualization, big data and AI-based analytics and DevOps methodologies. And they increasingly want to run mission-critical workloads not in the cloud, but at the industrial edge, close to the machines and data. To speed product design and deliver products ready to be deployed in such environments, industrial OEMs must heed the requirements of this growing OT/IT industrial edge.

Cloud computing has transformed how we consume and deploy IT solutions. Compute power is rapidly evolving to a utility model, with shared infrastructure at its core. This shared infrastructure underpinning the cloud revolution has also driven a fundamental shift in how we design and deploy technology within the data center. Servers, storage, networks, even the data center itself has moved beyond physical limits to become virtualized services residing on physical hardware. With this new virtual shared infrastructure model, comes new risks. According to IDC, 75% of organizations are implementing or considering the implementation of public cloud. Further, they predict that 50% of enterprise workloads will migrate to public cloud by 2018. At the same time, the threat environment is only expanding, and it is no longer the traditional hacker breaching the network perimeter that drives those who manage network security. Eastwest traffic, traffic between systems inside the network, now dominat

The idea of load balancing is well defined in the IT world: A network device accepts traffic on behalf ofa group of servers, and distributes that traffic according to load balancing algorithms and the availabilityof the services that the servers provide. From network administrators to server administrators to applicationdevelopers, this is a generally well understood concept.

Over the past ten years, IT personnel costs have risen faster than hardware and software investments. IT services have not improved process-wise and still require as much manpower, if not more, to operate now as they did in the past. As firms spend 76% of their IT budget on maintenance and support, they will naturally invest in BSM solutions that will reduce costs, enable ITIL, and provide an optimal ROI.

Virtualization is now mainstream. Enterprises continue to heavily invest in virtualization projects and while short term hardware and cost saving benefits are being achieved, few enterprises achieve anywhere close to the full potential of virtualization as they struggle with new problems like assuring performance and availability, preventing VM sprawl, and maximizing resource utilization

Software-defined networking (SDN) offers the ability to end the “tyranny of the boxes,” allowing those critical networking functions to be performed virtually. SDN enables financial services organizations to move to modern networking environments built for today’s digital, internet-dependent economy, delivering simplicity, ease-of-use and lower total cost of ownership. It frees IT staff and resources from labor-intensive hardware support and allows them to be redirected to functions that more directly support the organizations’ core business.

The coming year will be a pivotal one for advances in network technology. The rollout of 5G technology, for example, is expected to hit $2.7 trillion by the end of 2020, according to ‘Financing the Future of 5G’, an October 2019 report by global financing firm Greensill. A significant amount of that spend will go toward Internet of Things (IoT) integration, with $585 billion geared to 5G implementation on IoT hardware and $469 billion for IoT services. Staying ahead of the network technology curve might be difficult, but it’s critical to meeting marketplace needs, serving customers, and maintaining agility and productivity in an increasingly competitive environment.
