All the key announcements so far from Dell Technologies World 2022

Dell has unleashed a host of new cyber security offerings so far at the event

Dell has unleashed a host of new cyber security offerings during its Technologies World event in Las Vegas this week.

The PC giant has made a range of announcements so far at the three day event at the Venetian, including new cloud experiences, an expanded SaaS ecosystem and offerings to help customers manage and protect applications across data centres and multi-cloud environments.

Dell, who has just reported record $101.2bn revenue in its last fiscal year, also revealed new ransomware offerings with AWS and Microsoft Azure as well as a new cybersecurity Apex-as-a-Service.

In this article CRN looks at the key takeaways so far from Dell Technologies World 2022, which runs from May 2 to May 5.

Dell reveals new cyber recovery services

Dell announced that it is providing new options for managed cyber recovery offerings and public cloud cyber recovery solutions for multi-cloud environments.

The PC giant says it is making the move as cyber protection continues to become a "greater priority", with global information security and risk management end user spending set to increase in 2022.

Dell has bolstered its Apex portfolio with the introduction of Dell Apex Cyber Recovery Services, which will simplify recovery from cyberattacks.

It says it is delivering an as-a-service experience with standardised configurations, simplified Dell-assisted recovery options and expertise from nearly 2,000 isolated vault solutions deployed globally.

Dell is also extending the reach of its multi-cloud ecosystem and speeding up access to its data protection offerings for public clouds with the release of Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery for Microsoft Azure.

The move will allow organisations to deploy an isolated cyber vault in the public cloud to protect and isolate data away from a ransomware attack and provide flexible recovery options in the event of a cyberattack.

Finally, Dell announced it is building on its collaboration with AWS by launching CyberSense for Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery for AWS.

With this tool, businesses can use adaptive analytics, scan metadata, complete files and implement machine learning and forensic tools to detect, diagnose and speed data recovery, Dell claims.

Organisations can also monitor files and databases to determine if a cyberattack has occurred and identify the last known uncorrupted copy of data to speed a more secure recovery.

"Our customers want help reducing complexity and are seeking solutions that use a common approach to managing data wherever it lives - from public clouds, to the data centre, to the edge," said Chuck Whitten, co-chief operating officer at Dell.

"We are building a portfolio of software and services that simplifies on-premises and multi-cloud environments and offers."

Dell and Snowflake collaborate to extend the multi-cloud experience

Dell and Snowflake will work together to connect data from Dell enterprise storage with the Snowflake Data Cloud.

This collaboration aims to give customers flexibility operating in multi-cloud environments, meet data sovereignty requirements, and turn data into insights.

Dell and Snowflake customers will also be able to use on-premises data stored on Dell object storage while keeping their data local or copying it to public clouds.

The companies will pursue product integrations and joint go-to-market efforts in the second half of 2022.

Jeff Boudreau, president of Dell infrastructure solutions group, said: "As the industry leader in data storage, Dell Technologies provides customers with the tools needed to derive insights from their data wherever it resides.

"With the industry's first collaboration between on-premises storage systems and the Snowflake Data Cloud, we are able to expand Dell's SaaS provider ecosystem for data insights on-premises and in public clouds."

New Solar Community Hubs being introduced

In partnership with Computer Aid, Intel and Microsoft, Dell is launching 25 solar-powered community hubs across three continents.

The Solar Community Hubs will be built with Dell technology-enabled solutions and look to introduce 5G, edge computing and other services.

Each hub will be managed by the community and will offer services based on each community's unique needs.

The hubs will also provide communities with access to water and electricity, healthcare and resources for environmental preservation.

The first hub in Boa Esperanca, Brazil aims to help communities address local deforestation.

Cassandra Garber, VP of environmental and social governance at Dell, said: "Research shows that the greatest impact starts with empowering local communities.

"By introducing the Solar Community Hubs, communities will have access to resources and infrastructure to address their most pressing issues. This evolution puts community needs at the centre, and we are eager to see - and be a part of - the impact these community partnerships will have around the globe."
