Amulet Hotkey Case Study
"Dell incorporates the latest technology as it becomes available. Dell Lifecycle Management support helps us anticipate those changes so we can easily integrate new technology into our products. By working with Dell, we can refresh our technology regularly and continue to provide our customers with the fastest, smartest equipment available." — Keith Grundon, technical director, Amulet Hotkey
Managing bank transactions, trading stocks, running emergency command centers and operating industrial control terminals often require workers to use multiple computer workstations and monitors simultaneously. By using Amulet Hotkey’s KVM (keyboard-video-mouse) switching solutions, companies enable their workers to access the computing resources they need for mission-critical applications from a single keyboard and mouse. The result is a streamlined workflow and an uncluttered workspace.
The Dell OEM Industry Solutions Group helped Amulet Hotkey integrate PowerEdge™ M600 blade servers and the PowerEdge M1000e enclosure into its DXM600 product to address customer requirements and accelerate the product's time to market.
The solution enabled benefits by:
- Accelerating time to market from one year to just six months
- Cutting operational costs for designing and developing a new product by an estimated US$700,000
- Decreasing the number of administrators required for product development by 30 percent
- Simplifying solutions management and improving product quality by integrating software tools with hardware management capabilities
- Expanding the global customer base by 10 times
- Ensuring regular technology refreshes for products and smoothing transitions from one generation to the next
