OEM: Should software companies also be hardware companies?
Please be sure to visit the Original Source
I recently saw a quote from famed computer scientist Alan Kay. “People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware” is often mis-attributed to Steve Jobs as he said this at the phone launch in 2007, 25 years after Kay first said it (interestingly, he was discussing some coding he was doing for Mac at the time).
What I find more interesting is that this quote is sometimes attributed to Jobs; that it was first said 30 years ago and that so many software companies still regard this as a universal truth.
It’s hard to find an exact number (and can vary wildly from one industry to the next) but as many as 80% of software companies build the hardware on which they deliver their software to market today. Most see it as a “necessary evil” and have no desire to become hardware companies.
They’re keenly aware of the resource strain their hardware development efforts place on their organization and how it can detract from the software innovation they know will drive sales but continue on the same path for any number of reasons.
But what of the benefits and value of a closed ecosystem where all hardware/software and services are developed and managed internally? In enterprise settings, this model is neither easily replicable nor ideal for most software companies.
Why? Well, it comes down to resource focus and time and the ability to scale with little disruption and without increasing headcount if it’s not part of strategic planning.
Regardless of the size of the company, even small resource strains can create significant delays in new product development and time to market, which can significantly impact profits. Not to mention the procurement, testing and quality assurance, integration and supply-chain demands that are all part of the highly-variable process of bringing a hardware-based software solution to customers.
For instance, when it comes to purchasing multiple hardware components from disparate vendors in small quantities, there are economies of scale considerations. If your company is placing a small order, it will cost more. And, if anything goes awry before the order is processed (or while in transit), your order could be delayed so that larger orders get placed.
Working with a Tier-One hardware manufacturer can alleviate all of that as you leverage economies of scale that would be difficult or impossible independently. Additionally, it provides on-demand access to a comprehensive portfolio of leading-edge technologies that are all fully tested and quality assured to further speed time to market.
And, bringing a solution to end users is often just the beginning. Success is dependent on a service model that ensures up time and repairs (and software updates) in hours, not days.
Finally, when it comes to a closed ecosystem and “building your own,” innovation can be self limiting with fewer people exposed to fewer software-based projects. Dedicated engineers for a large manufacturer gain insights and drive new technologies based on the asks of multiple companies with different needs.
For companies that choose to focus on innovation and maintaining their competitive edge, outsourcing the executional details of product development is a logical one. Leveraging the engineering chops, product quality and supply chain/logistics capabilities of a company with all those resources in place means no added headcount or resource strain for the software company so they can focus on what they do best.
Are you still building your own hardware?

Dell Solution Center Network Expands in Australia and U.S.
Please be sure to visit the Original Source
Dell’s focus on helping our customers “Do More..” was reinforced over the last two weeks as we opened new “Solution Centers” in Sydney and New York City. Interest in these two centers has been huge since we first announced these locations and we already have numerous engagement requests from customers and partners who want to see and test how Dell solutions can meet their unique requirements.

Cloud Ready with Dell: From vStart to vCloud
Please be sure to visit the Original Source
Written by : Deepak Kanwar and Stephen Spector
As organizations continue to move up the virtualization maturity ladder, they are looking at private clouds to bring greater agility and efficiency to their environment. By pooling IT assets and exposing them via Infrastructure as a Service to their employees/customers, private cloud can quickly enhance employee productivity and experience. Instead of waiting for days, authorized IT users can now get access to IT assets in a matter of minutes. As their needs change, these users can quickly ramp up or ramp down their capacity bringing unprecedented agility to the organization. Unfortunately, building private clouds can be challenging. Organizations can spend months just readying the infrastructure to underpin the private cloud as they go through the process of design/architect, test, procure and configure. Implementing cloud management software on top takes additional time and may require a different set of skills. As their needs grow often these organizations realize that their solutions do not scale well especially for multi-vendor solutions.
With Dell’s vStart for Private Cloud solution, these challenges are minimized if not eliminated. Delivered pre-engineered and pre-built and with included deployment services the vStart for Dell Private Cloud allows organizations to take advantage of their own private clouds in days not months. Built upon Dell’s pre-engineered and pre-built virtualization infrastructure solution, vStart and Dell’s cloud management solution, VIS Creator, vStart for Dell Private Cloud enables advanced private cloud capabilities such as sprawl control, showback and out of the box audit capabilities. The solution is designed to scale to easily accommodate growing needs, the infrastructure can be scaled vertically, by adding additional compute or storage capacity or horizontally, by adding additional racks. Companies looking to leverage the public cloud for its (supposedly) infinitesimal on-demand capacity from either a tactical perspective – cloud bursting or from a strategic perspective where parts of their workload continue in the public clouds can easily do so through the hybrid model. vStart for Dell Private cloud continues to be the in-house cloud as they reach out to vCloud for their additional needs.
(Please visit the site to view this video)
Having a complete, private cloud up and running presents the customer with additional services from Dell via our public/hybrid secure enterprise class vCloud with Datacenter Services. Using the same internal management technology, customers can burst workloads directly to the Dell vCloud using the VMware vCloud Connector, a simple application download from VMware. Moving workloads from the private cloud to the Dell hybrid vCloud with a simple drag and drop gives customers instant access to unlimited compute resources to meet their external or internal customers’ needs.
Customers are also provided cloud security in Dell vCloud using Dell SecureWorks and VMware vShield to protect critical IT assets and data within the cloud is encrypted using Trend Micro’s industry leading encryption technology. In addition, global load balancing allows customers the flexibility to move workloads amongst the global collection of Dell vClouds or within the various servers within a specific Dell vCloud site.
As you can see, Dell has the cloud technology in place to take customers from basic virtualization to private clouds to public/hybrid clouds using the same management utilities and without the need to retrain your workforce. Having a single cloud supplier enabling end-to-end cloud capabilities is an advantage Dell offers to our large and growing virtualization and customer base. The simplicity and power from the vStart to vCloud offering sets Dell apart in the marketplace.

Dell Social Innovation Challenge Narrows to Five Finalists
Please be sure to visit the Original Source
With just four weeks left until the culmination of the 2012 Dell Social Innovation Challenge, we have five fantastic finalists from around the world who surfaced from more than 1,500 entries in 90 countries. Entrepreneurship is in our DNA, and we are committed to fostering that spirit in others. In partnership with The University of Texas, the Dell Social Innovation Challenge invites college students around the world to enter their transformative ideas for solving social problems. Without further ado, the finalists are:
- e-Education in 5 Continents, which seeks to provide video lecture classes to poor, rural students in Bangladesh, Palestine and Rwanda, to address the gap between rich and poor.
- Essmart Global, which focuses on the distribution gap by combining process innovations in sourcing high-quality technologies and distributing them to rural areas via an extensive retail shop network that services local communities.
- Humanure Power Project, which aims to provide sanitation and electricity to rural India by building community toilets and harnessing human waste to produce methane and electricity that will be distributed to the community via 12-V batteries.
- Nanoly, which seeks to address the 2.1 million people who die each year from vaccine-preventable diseases because of accessibility problems, by enabling vaccines to be delivered to anywhere in the world without refrigeration.
- 33 Buckets, which has designed a filter that will provide a girls' school in rural Bangladesh with arsenic-free water that they can sell to the community in a sustainable microfinance business.
The teams are making their travel plans now and will arrive in Austin on June 8 to compete in the challenge, sponsored by Dell with the University of Texas at Austin. That weekend, these students will pitch their ideas with hopes of taking home a portion of the $150,000 in cash prizes and Dell technology to help bring their dreams to fruition. We’ll announce winners on June 12.
At Dell, we believe that innovation and entrepreneurship are not “born” but can be “bred” through the right community, support, tools and inspiration. And we’re especially delighted to announce the winner of the Dell Technology Award: AfyaZima Blood Pressure mCuff, a low-cost device that eases blood pressure measurement and transmission via a mobile in hopes of early hypertension diagnosis, especially in areas with low resources.
As we count down the days until the final weekend, stay tuned to @dell4good to hear stories about these teams, our People’s Choice Award winners, and the many other students who want to make their world a better place!
