Dell Technologies believes
the future of IT will be more open,
agile and cloud-based.
Our vision for the Network is open
Dell Technologies has one of the broadest open networking portfolios in the industry – spanning both
hardware and software. Dell’s unique approach involves combining its own developed technologies with
those from a broad ecosystem of technology partners, including VMware. The industry has recognized
us for leadership in opening up the network through disaggregation of networking hardware and software,
providing customers choice based on their unique needs.
We believe that our Open Networking approach and solutions stimulate rapid innovation by helping
customers achieve unprecedented levels of flexibility and efficiency. These solutions help minimize the
time and effort required to design, provision and manage networks; enable IT managers to leverage
open-source tools; and provide expertise to help reduce costly overhead at the edge, in the core and into
the cloud.
