Dell Technologies and Microsoft are collaborating to deliver a joint Internet of Things (IoT) solution designed to help vertical customers simplify deploying their end-to-end IoT solutions, from the edge to the cloud.
The combination of Microsoft Azure IoT applications and services, VMware Pulse IoT Center and Dell Edge Gateways will offer customers streamlined management, centralized monitoring and security from devices to the cloud, the companies said.
When businesses deploy secure intelligent edge to cloud solutions, they can take full advantage of the digital transformation opportunities IoT represents. The two tech giants “are making it easier for customers to empower their employees, optimize operations and reimagine their products, services or even business models," said Ruston Panabaker, Microsoft’s VP for IoT Solutions.
The joint solution offers an underlying IoT infrastructure, management capabilities, and security for customers looking to deploy IoT for scenarios like predictive maintenance, supply chain visibility, and other use cases, the companies noted. The partnership would enable customers to implement IoT more seamlessly for better and faster Return on Investment (ROI), said Chris Wolff, Head of OEM (original equipment manufacturer) at Dell EMC.
The two companies believe that solution would be ideal for businesses that want to harness advanced services such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and real-time decision making while also making sure all deployment, asset management, security and compliance requirements are met. “Teaming up with Microsoft on IoT and edge is a natural fit based on the complementary technologies we offer today,” said Mimi Spier, VP for IoT Business at Dell Technologies owned VMware.
