Business Wire
Dell today announced the acquisition of Gale Technologies, a
leading provider of infrastructure automation software that allows
organizations to streamline the deployment of on-premise and hybrid
clouds for self-service access to infrastructure. Dell also
announced the formation of its Enterprise Systems & Solutions
organization focused on the delivery of converged and enterprise
workload topologies and solutions in alignment with Dell’s
Enterprise vision.
Gale Technologies helps customers turn discrete compute, network
and storage components into integrated and highly-optimized
application, virtual desktop infrastructure, and private cloud
solutions featuring self-service and advanced automation. Gale
Technologies’ solution provides a comprehensive management,
automation and orchestration platform for simplifying end-to-end
provisioning across heterogeneous infrastructures. Gale
Technologies delivers automated physical and virtual resource
allocation, preserves best practice enterprise infrastructure
deployment through reusable templates, and masks that complexity
from the end user to provide a valuable enterprise asset.
Gale Technologies’ solutions are complementary to Dell’s
enterprise approach in that they provide cost-effective management
and orchestration tools that are easy to deploy and customize in
both homogeneous and heterogeneous IT environments. This approach
allows customers to extend their current IT investments to
capitalize on new IT models.
Dell has taken significant steps to expand its enterprise
solutions portfolio to help IT organizations more rapidly respond
to business demands, improve efficiency, and strengthen IT services
quality. In its 3rd fiscal quarter, Dell’s server and networking
business grew 11 percent year-over-year. Dell was the only server
provider among the top three to have positive unit growth in the
quarter and expects Gale Technologies to benefit from that
reach.
Through the acquisition and development of its own IP, Dell has
built a set of unique assets to deliver the scalable IT
infrastructure of the future based on standardized technologies.
The addition of Gale Technologies will help accelerate the momentum
of Dell’s converged infrastructure family, Active Infrastructure,
and extend development of additional integrated enterprise
solutions.
“Today, enterprises need solutions that enable operational
benefits of speed, efficiency, and flexibility in the allocation
and use of resources,” said Marius Haas, president, Dell Enterprise
Solutions Group. “Gale Technologies integrates well with our Active
Infrastructure family, and provides an intuitive, flexible and
comprehensive foundation for application, virtual desktop
infrastructure and private cloud deployments for our
customers.”
“We are excited to join the Dell team and contribute to the
company’s transformation into an end-to-end IT solutions provider
by extending the Active Infrastructure family of converged
solutions. Combining Dell’s global scale, reach and enterprise
portfolio with our people and technology will allow IT
organizations to greatly improve the agility and efficiency of
today’s and tomorrow’s data centers,” said Nariman Teymourian, CEO,
Gale Technologies.
Enterprise Systems & Solutions Organization
Dell today announced the creation of a new division, the
Enterprise Systems & Solutions organization, to develop
converged and enterprise workload solutions. This group extends
Dell’s growing enterprise momentum by focusing on optimizing
infrastructure for enterprise applications and complex workloads to
help customers achieve increased IT agility while balancing capital
costs. This new organization will be led by vice president and
general manager Dario Zamarian, who previously headed Dell’s
Networking business as vice president and general manager. Zamarian
will report to Marius Haas, president, Dell Enterprise Solutions
Group.
The Enterprise Systems and Solutions organization will
accelerate Dell’s ability to design solutions that enable complex
topologies to be deployed more rapidly by customers. The team’s
charter includes:
- Designing repeatable enterprise
infrastructure models which enable pre-built solutions that can be
assembled by Dell or customer architects
- Develop a single framework to manage
complex topologies that include server and storage resources,
software images, and network connectivity.
“As customers increasingly move to fully-integrated solutions,
we are favorably positioned to capitalize on these trends with
industry-leading server, storage, networking, and software assets
coupled together as end-to-end systems,” said Dario Zamarian, vice
president and general manager, Dell Enterprise Systems &
Solutions. “In creating this new organization, we plan to
accelerate our ability to deliver differentiated value to customers
– providing them with improved operational efficiency and the right
balance of capability and price.”
As Zamarian moves to his new role, Tom Burns joins Dell as vice
president and general manager, Dell Networking, reporting to Haas.
Burns comes to Dell from Alcatel-Lucent where he was most recently
the president of the Enterprise and Strategic Industries Business
Group. Prior to this position, Burns was president of the
Enterprise Product Group, responsible for product strategy and all
sales and marketing activities for the company’s enterprise
business which included, voice, unified communications and
networking and security solutions.
Dell Adds to the Active Infrastructure Family by Expanding
Active System Manager
Dell last month announced the Active System Manager, an
intuitive tool for the most common infrastructure administrative
tasks that is central to the Active System converged infrastructure
offering. Today, Dell is announcing an expansion of Active System
Manager to include a new, complementary product based on Gale
Technologies technology. This new product will provide customers
with an IaaS platform for end-to-end automation and orchestration
of application, virtual desktop infrastructure and private cloud
deployments using VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V
virtualization technologies. It will be available on Dell’s current
vStart models and the new Active System 800 early next year.
Support for third-party infrastructure solutions will be available
in later releases.
Terms of Transaction
Gale Technologies was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in
Santa Clara, Calif. Dell plans to keep Gale Technologies’ employees
and, consistent with its approach to previous acquisitions, will
continue to invest in additional engineering and sales capability
to grow this business. Terms of the transaction were not
disclosed.
