(ROUND ROCK, Texas, Nov. 14, 2005) - Secure-24, an infrastructure outsourcing company specializing in Web hosting and secure business-critical offerings including high-performance computing clusters (HPCC), uses Dell hardware, software and services to help support customers nationwide.
With 200 Dell PowerEdge(TM) servers and two Dell/EMC storage area networks (SANs), Secure-24 counts on data center technology as a competitive advantage. Dell PowerEdge(TM) servers deliver the performance and uptime critical to Secure-24 and customers' needs while Dell/EMC SANs provide comprehensive data protection. Using the cost-effective, scalable infrastructure with standards-based enterprise technology from Dell, Secure-24 can provide customized services on a secure platform based on individual customer needs. Secure-24 customers range from financial institutions to insurance companies, automotive manufacturers and suppliers.
Running software from Dell alliance partners - including Microsoft(R), Oracle, Red Hat and SAP - allows Secure-24 to further adapt to meet customer needs. For example, servers in Secure-24's three data centers can be configured into high-performance computing clusters built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Microsoft Windows for business-critical customer applications.
According to Volker Straub, COO for Secure-24, choosing Dell helped Secure-24 realize up to 15 percent cost savings compared with other industry providers. "Technology is the lifeline to serving our customers. Dell not only gives us the peace of mind with a secure and scalable environment, we realize cost savings that we can pass along to our customers," he said.
To help companies such as Secure-24 maximize its HPCC investment, Dell also offers services that represent a cost-effective extension to traditional IT staff. Dell HPCC Enterprise Support provides a trained staff around the clock to support customer HPCC environments and help minimize downtime and other inefficiencies.
Secure-24 also relies on Dell OptiPlex(TM) desktops and Latitude(TM) notebooks to standardize daily business operations. The company's Dell hardware is backed by Dell service and support, including Dell Professional Services for SAN installation.
"The breadth of Dell hardware choices, the strength of our software partnerships and the support of our services enable companies like Secure-24 to provide customized solutions to serve their customers," said David Marmonti, vice president, Dell Medium Business division.
