Dell engineering is behind the cloud offering that we’ve benefited from so hugely. I wish we had this cloud when I started the business. I would have saved so much money.

— Tim Maliyil, president, Data Guard Systems and AlertBoot, United States

Challenge
AlertBoot sought to find the perfect infrastructure to host its disk encryption product and free up engineers to focus on research and development, innovation and marketing support.
Solution
The host product used a cloud solution from Dell business partner Expedient Communications, featuring virtual servers hosted on Dell™ PowerEdge™ servers and Dell EqualLogic™ Internet SCSI (iSCSI) storage area networks (SANs).
Benefits
  • Ability to survive the recession and bring new products to market with an affordable cloud solution
  • $200,000 per year saved with a cloud solution
  • Zero data loss in the event of disaster
  • 10 percent of time reclaimed for a six-member engineering team to focus on other tasks
  • 24-hour implementation of products for 10,000-seat investment bank due to flexibility of Dell virtualized infrastructure
  • Twice the processing power compared to previous-generation Dell servers
