EaglePicher management turned to Plex Systems of Auburn Hills, MI to help initiate a manufacturing-based ERP system for its manufacturing facilities. Its new lean manufacturing abilities have enabled it to accurately determine cost and profitability by part, allowing it to become increasingly competitive, especially against offshore competitors. 

In this paper we discuss an emerging direction for Intel® vPro™ technology called Dynamic Virtual Client (DVC) computing. This article examines emerging computing usages and identifies key gaps and challenges associated with realizing client virtualization. 

Thanks to recent advances in technology, IT has a range of centrally-managed compute models from which to choose. This white paper describes the variety of compute models available, how each works, and the advantages and limitations of each model for key vectors such as security, manageability, and power consumption. 

Although the majority of computing today falls within the traditional and virtualized models, private clouds will grow to be the largest component in the portfolio over the next three to five years. Read on to learn the benefits that the private cloud model offers, plus learn about Dell’s next generation architecture for the cloud. 

Customers need to better understand how the use of virtualization and cloud computing changes datacenter infrastructure management requirements. In this paper, May Johnston Turner, IDC's research director of System Management Software, answers questions posed to her by Dell’s customers. 

This white paper takes a closer look at the vision behind cloud computing. Explore four major aspects of the cloud and access resources to help you develop and implement your data center strategy. 

In this video, you'll see how Intel IT's office and enterprise private cloud not only increases efficiency and agility, but also offers high availability without additional cost. 

The Dell™ Flexible Computing Solutions suite of products and services is designed to simplify and centralize administrator control over end-user desktops while helping enhance security and reduce total cost of ownership. Read this paper to learn more! 

Supporting an increasingly distributed workforce can be a huge drain on IT resources. By enabling a customized end-user experience with server-based control of data, settings, and applications, the Dell™ Flexible Computing Solutions suite of products and services is designed to simplify management, enhance security, and lower TCO. 

Incentives created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act are expected to increase EHR adoption and point-of-care computing -- meaning demands on availability and performance are high, while the budgets to manage devices are small. Find out how desktop virtualization can assist with these healthcare challenges. 

There are several stages in the road map from virtualization to cloud, and each should be planned strategically, rather than one step at a time.  This paper details the five stages in the path to cloud computing and what’s needed at each stage. 

Database-as-a-Service (DaaS) applications allow companies to host their databases in the cloud as a cost-effective way to manage their data. This brief white paper outlines CA Erwin Data Modeling's role in cloud computing, including its benefits.
