Dell and Egenera Partner to Bring Dynamic Data Center to the Mainstream

Today, Egenera and Dell announced a strategic OEM agreement, where Egenera’s industry leading PAN Manager software will be delivered on Dell hardware. This deal is important for many reasons, particularly:

• It’s a marriage of complementary technologies, shared vision and of strategic importance to both companies.
• It opens a significant channel for Egenera, bringing our proven software to a far broader customer base than ever before.
• Dell can now leverage the Infrastructure Virtualization capabilities of PAN – in production for more than 6 years – to simplify their customers’ environments and gain significant competitive advantage over other tier 1 hardware vendors.
• Our customers brought us together – more choice, more flexibility, and total simplicity in the data cent

Let’s face it, when it comes to delivering cost effective, industry standard servers to the market, no one is better than Dell. And, when it comes to delivering Infrastructure Virtualization and Management solutions, Egenera is the best. The combination in the market will be extremely powerful – for each of our companies and for our customers. Together, we are simplifying IT – leading virtualization and management into its next critical phase and allowing customers to focus on what’s important to their businesses.

This is not your standard “add another partner to our website” agreement.  It’s strategic for both companies and will bring real benefits to customers.

Stay tuned for more about the products we’ll launch together in the future. This is a great day for Egenera, for Dell, and most importantly, a great day for customers.

Pete,
Congratulations! I came to Dell recently from EqualLogic and have a blog there. Being able to blog with you about blade server software is going to be great. I'm looking forward to reading your posts.
