There’s more to hybrid information technology than cloud and on-premises data centers. The edge is exploding; and now, “near-cloud” is wending its way into the picture. This is giving infrastructure companies, like Dell Technologies Inc., new ideas about how to develop, sell and service hardware outside of the old on-prem model.
Dell might be synonymous with the on-premises infrastructure in many people’s minds. However, it’s setting its sights afield lately to cater to customers with widely varying needs.
“We’re trying to build outcomes for customers,” said Devon Reed (pictured, right), senior director of product management at Dell.

The pandemic drove cloud and as-a-service consumption models into countless companies. The need for on-the-fly flexibility continues as uncertainty about the future hangs over many. So is it the end for on-premises hardware?
Actually, plenty of companies plan to stay on the hybrid track they had mapped out before COVID-19. Can providers take the parts of as-a-service they’ve come to love and graft them onto hardware?
“There are new levels of unpredictability that have been accelerating this adoption of as-a-service,” said Alyson Langon (pictured, left), senior manager of product marketing at Dell Technologies Inc. “[Companies] don’t want to make big upfront investments in infrastructure when they’re having such a hard time forecasting their needs.”
Ten years ago, Nick Brannan took over as the head coach of Milford’s baseball team, from the start one thing was very clear about him. He had a quiet air of confidence about him, he also had the wisdom to know he couldn’t do it alone. In his very first year at the helm, Brannan led the Buccaneers to the state title game, falling to Saint Mark’s by a 4-3 score. While the Buccaneers haven’t been back to the title game since, the Milford baseball program is one of the more highly regarded teams in Delaware.
