Dell Delivers Cloud Application Services On Windows Azure

Dell Services has announced that it will provide its customers a complete portfolio of services to enable development and migration of applications onto the Windows Azure platform. This collaboration expands Dell’s comprehensive suite of application services to include the leading cloud application platform from Microsoft.

Customers can now work with Dell as a single point of contact for design, delivery and ongoing management of applications hosted in the cloud on Windows Azure. This will make it quicker and easier for them to adopt Windows Azure and drive benefits such as increased speed-to-market and agility, better collaboration across organisational boundaries, more modernised application portfolios and a greater ability to manage variable demand capacity needs.

With Windows Azure, Microsoft provides fully supported infrastructure and platform services offerings, spanning a comprehensive hybrid cloud solution that integrates existing IT infrastructure with the latest cloud technology.

Raman Sapra, executive director and global head, Strategy and Business Innovation Services, Applications & BPO, Dell Services said, “This collaboration on Windows Azure is one of the many recent strategic efforts between Microsoft and Dell Services. Together, Dell and Microsoft will leverage the Windows Azure platform to deliver cloud application development services based on enterprise-class solutions powered by Microsoft technology.”
