Dell Introduces New Software Platform to Streamline AI and Cloud Management for Enhanced SEO Performance.

Dell Technologies has launched the Dell Automation Platform, a software solution designed to streamline and standardise the management of AI, private cloud, and edge deployments. A recent survey highlighted by Dell indicates that 88% of C-level executives anticipate facing greater change in 2025 compared to the previous year, which adds pressure on IT teams managing both traditional and modern workloads. These challenges are exacerbated by industry shifts, including new AI mandates, virtualisation disruptions, and sustainability goals, prompting organisations to seek more dynamic IT strategies and relief from vendor lock-in constraints. The Dell Automation Platform serves as a unified software orchestration layer that simplifies deployment and management processes across diverse environments, integrating zero-touch onboarding, centralised inventory management, AIOps automation, and comprehensive lifecycle management for IT operations.

The platform can be deployed on-premises or as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and provides access to a curated catalogue of validated solutions, supported by Dell teams and integrated with a global supply chain. This integration ensures consistent deployments and update processes from initial deployment (Day-0) through general operations (Day-2). Key features include native IT Service Management (ITSM) integration and automated updates, such as those for Dell PowerStore OS, which aim to simplify operations. The Dell Private Cloud, built on disaggregated infrastructure, is central to the platform and now supports both VMware and Red Hat, with Nutanix support planned. This approach enhances resource utilisation and reduces costs by allowing independent scaling of compute and storage capacity. With the Dell Automation Platform, organisations can deploy their infrastructure in significantly fewer steps, with reports indicating up to 90% fewer steps and a reduction in deployment time for workload-ready private cloud clusters to approximately 2.5 hours. Automated, pre-validated updates help maintain infrastructure in a validated state, while lifecycle management tools assist with planning and risk mitigation. Subscription licenses are transferable between hardware nodes, enabling organisations to adapt to changing requirements without the need for additional retraining or infrastructure replacement. Existing software licenses and familiar management tools, such as vCentre and OpenShift, can continue to be utilised.
