I’ve said it many times on the show, “Without an application, you don’t need infrastructure”; it’s as true today as ever.  A cloud is…  Infrastructure, sometimes it’s in your data center, sometimes it is managed by someone else. 

Simplifying the deployment of the infrastructure to support those applications provides the speed to market needed to deploy applications faster.  Dell EMC Ready Bundle for SAP Landscapes and Dell EMC Ready Bundle for Oracle provide the infrastructure needed to deploy quickly and successfully the first time.

I spent some time with Sam Lucido (@sam_lucido) on the show floor of Dell Technologies World 2018 to get details.

Dell EMC Partners continue to make the difference; our partners deliver on the promise of IT, Digital, Security and Workforce Transformation.   The Global Partner Summit was the perfect opportunity for our Partners to get the latest details on our plans and strategies moving forward.

Almost a year ago, Patricia Florissi Blogged about a Distributed Data Analytics Platform and the World Wide Herd.  The concept of creating a global network of distributed Apache Hadoop instances forming a single virtual computing cluster.

The Global Partner Summit also provides an opportunity to address the specific needs of a global organization.  The Regional/International Breakouts are designed to address those specific needs.  I sat down with Alvaro Camarena, Vice President Latin America Channel.  With 240 LATAM Partners attending the Global Partner Summit, Alvaro was more than happy to talk about helping those partners with their transformation and in turn helping to transform our end users.
