How Dell and Microsoft work on cloud

issues do and what solutions have they

brought to the market?

With Microsoft Cloud Solutions we have always been working with them. At
Dell we have our proposals VIS (Virtual Integrated System), supported on
Microsoft platform. Within the Microsoft family, other than our products, are
Integrated Windows Server 2008, Hyper-V and System Center, and within
Dell products, apart from all the server hardware, storage and networking
issues, we have our BIS software And our Dell Open Manage management
software that integrates seamlessly with Microsoft's System Center.

You have to think about what services I
need for my company to improve and the
final decision is the private cloud

From your point of view, how is the
Spanish market hosting the
implementation of management solutions
based on cloud technology and, in
particular, those of Microsoft?

According to IDC data corresponding to 2011,
26% of the companies in the Spanish market are
already working with cloud technologies, or it is
preparing for it. For 2012 it is expected that
another 26% will begin to implement cloud
technologies, which means that the cloud has
come to stay. Customers are seeing an
opportunity to save costs in a substantial way
and also to change their model of work.
