Intelligent Data Management

Dell's vision is to simplify IT with products, services and partnerships that make it easy and affordable for small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to manage and leverage their information from creation to end of life. We call this approach Intelligent Data Management (IDM). IDM can change the economics of information by reducing cost and complexity while protecting data and making it available in ways that make sense throughout its life cycle. Part of our IDM strategy will be a new line of the TierDisk family of products to help SMB customers gain control of their data while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO). The first of these products is our PowerVault™ DL2000 integrated disk-based backup solution. Future products, including our recently announced data deduplication solutions with Quantum and EMC, will support the goals of IDM to help IT organizations reduce cost and complexity while giving them more intelligent products to manage their data.
