Dell Technologies announces
new IoT solutions to automate
powerful, actionable insights
/////////////////////////////
Dell Technologies has
announced new IoT solutions
that provide scalable, secure,
manageable and open
infrastructure – spanning edge
to cloud – so customers can
realise current value and build
a foundation for the future.
D
ell Technologies’ Edge and IoT
Solutions Division has announced
new solutions and bundles to simplify
deployment of secure, scalable solutions
for edge computing and IoT use cases.
With these solutions, Dell Technologies is
combining tools from its broad portfolio with
technology from Intel and partners in the Dell
Technologies IoT Solutions Partner Program.
This will drive workloads for computer
vision – enabled by imaging sensors –
and machine intelligence – characterised
by structured telemetry from sensors
and control systems. Dell Technologies
has collaborated with Intel, which has
helped advance these solutions with their
computer vision and analytics technologies.
“Workloads and use cases for computer vision
and machine intelligence require different
combinations of tools, but the computing
infrastructure elements are the same,” said
Joyce Mullen, President, Global Channel, OEM
and IOT Solutions at Dell Technologies. “Dell
Technologies provides a scalable, secure,
manageable and open infrastructure –
spanning edge to cloud – so customers and
partners can realise value today and build a
foundation to support these workloads and
case studies in the future.”
Cameras provide rich information about
the physical world, but the deluge of video

data creates too much data for humans
to cost-effectively monitor for real-time
decision making. Applying analytics, such as
Artificial Intelligence, to these data streams
automates powerful, actionable insights. customer data to speed the return on
investment. The solution is currently available
as a reference architecture to align systems
and build a framework for computer vision
learning and adoption for other use cases.
Events driven by computer vision and analysed
together with telemetry from machines –
including data that imaging sensors cannot
provide, such as voltage, current and pressure
– results in even more powerful insights.
Because of rapid evolution in the IoT market
and the fast pace of innovation required to
stay competitive, many customers now require
an ‘IT grade’ infrastructure. This should
include a security-first perspective to support
scalability, data diversity and the increasingly
complex needs of connected devices. Built on the world’s leading cloud
infrastructure, the Dell Technologies IoT
Solution for Surveillance will offer:
Integrating Dell Technologies
solutions to enable computer vision
By enabling computer vision with Dell
Technologies IoT solutions, customers can
more accurately, efficiently and effectively
‘see’ relevant information pertaining to areas
such as public safety, customer experience,
and product inventory and quality.
Surveillance is the first use case to which Dell
Technologies has applied computer vision, so
customers can more cost-effectively monitor
events in the physical world and automate
decision-making.
The IoT Solution for Surveillance is
specifically built to transform and simplify
how surveillance technology is delivered
with an easy to deploy and manage hyper-
converged, software-defined solution.
Available later this year to purchase as a
package, the engineered, pre-integrated
solution will provide a consistent foundation
from edge to distributed core to cloud. It
will also be ready to run on day one with
• Rapid return on investment – The open
architecture allows for customisation with
immense choice of technology, purchasing
and configuration. Additionally, it is flexible
to adapt to changing technologies or
industry regulations to meet current data
needs and in the future
• Reduced risk – Dell EMC Surveillance
Validation Lab tests hardware and ISV
software solutions together in extreme
simulations to ensure it will stand up in
the real world
• Integrated security – The built-in
security measures include micro-
segmentation (NSX-T) and the ability
to push over-the-air (OTA) updates
and security patches in real time to all
surveillance devices from camera to cloud.
It also will include holistic management
capabilities across IT and operational
technology (OT) concerns through a
combination of VMware Pulse IoT Center
and Software Defined Data Center
• Greater reliability with scalability
from hundreds to thousands of
cameras/sensors – The solution offers
an automated, fault-tolerant approach
to scaling from 300TB to 50PB+ on Dell
EMC Elastic Cloud Storage for private,
on-premise, off-premise or hybrid needs.
High availability and zero data loss will
be guaranteed with vSAN RAID 5/6
across flash and disk. Additionally, ESXi
Enterprise Plus enables high availability
and disaster recovery services n
