With the rise of AI, edge computing has become more critical for your customers to drive innovation and business outcomes.  But do your customers know how to implement edge solutions easily and cost-effectively and prove ROI from their investments?
 
The Dell NativeEdge platform empowers your customers to centralize end-to-end deployment and management of their edge infrastructure and applications seamlessly. Now, they can harness the power of automation, open design, Zero Trust security, and multicloud orchestration to securely scale at the edge.
 
According to a study by Vanson Bourne, 94% of organizations say they are investing in edge infrastructure and applications, yet only 10% of them are reaping the benefits[1]. You can help change that by enabling your customers to deploy NativeEdge to simplify their edge operations and optimize infrastructure and management for AI at the edge. As your customers embark on their AI projects, they will greatly benefit from new NativeEdge capabilities and partnerships—including a strategic partnership with NVIDIA—that streamline AI application deployment at the edge.
 
With NativeEdge, you can become a trusted advisor to your customers by offering your unique expertise in vertical markets and operational technology (OT) as well as providing integration capabilities and services such as consulting, implementation, break/fix and managed services.
 
Dell’s revolutionary edge operations software platform is especially well-suited to your customers who have multiple distributed locations such as manufacturing, retail, energy, digital cities and healthcare. The increasing demand for partners with expertise in transforming edge operations across industries presents a significant opportunity for you to capitalize on.
 
Introducing zero-touch Infrastructure management
You can help your customers securely scale their edge operations and reach a new level of efficiency. They no longer need to rely on regional service providers and 3rd party solution vendors to install and manage their edge estate infrastructure. Instead, you can help them deploy using Dell’s zero-touch, Zero Trust infrastructure management to manage hundreds and thousands of edge devices.
 
When your customers receive edge- and AI-optimized NativeEdge Endpoints from Dell, including servers, workstations, gateways and desktops, all they need to do is provide network connectivity and power. Once connected, the device completes a comprehensive validation process to ensure hardware integrity and enable cyber-resilient security with no local IT intervention from your customers.
 
The power of centralized application orchestration
Built on an open design, NativeEdge provides your customers with the flexibility to select vertical or use-case-specific ISV applications from a catalog and to choose cloud environments that best suit your customers’ edge application workloads. You can enable customers to centrally deploy containerized and virtual applications using blueprints. With its multicloud design, NativeEdge allows for application deployment across both new and existing environments.
 
With NativeEdge Orchestrator, your customers have a management interface that empowers their IT admins to monitor, manage and deploy all apps and devices across their edge estate from a single centralized screen.
