Business Perspective: Dell Technologies

Gain a competitive edge with secure storage solutions

| May 2021 Footnote

Editor's note: Updated April 30, 2021

In the world of small business, many teams consider data to be their most valuable asset, but the reality is that it can also be among the most vulnerable. Without a data center strategy, the risks of data loss and data unavailability always linger, threatening costly outages, downtime, malware attacks and other business setbacks. Considering the added challenges that come with data management, such as compliance requirements and overcoming human error, there are many reasons for IT teams to lose sleep.

These concerns become heightened for smaller and growing businesses that have limited resources to address and alleviate issues. Although security is a top priority, it’s also the most frequently mentioned skills shortfall and concern among smaller company’s IT leaders. The good news is, we’re here to help you navigate your IT transformation journey with expert support and trusted data center solutions to help you gain a competitive edge.

Innovation to boost business growth and productivity

Businesses that lead in data center trust go beyond preventing data outages. With advanced data protection features, they can gain better control of their IT environment and protect their brand integrity while preventing data corruption, compromise and loss. When it comes to storage infrastructure, leaders consistently report a higher presence of data protection features that safeguard on-premises data such as automatic failover capabilities, multi-system replication, self-encrypting drives, data snapshots and clones.

Looking for guidance in creating your data center strategy? Dell Technologies offers a broad portfolio of trusted infrastructure and data protection solutions, uniquely designed for growing businesses’ needs. Our secure storage solutions are engineered to store, manage and safeguard data in each array, ensuring you’re protected as you scale.
