IT investments increase

There has been a substantial growth in IT investments within the country with the restoration of peace. The corporate sector specifically has been implementing IT solutions to increase the levels of efficiency in their companies.

Speaking to Daily News Business Dell Country Manager, Shermal Jayatilaka said implementing efficient data services and solutions enable customers to devote more of their IT budgets to innovation and to reduce the storage cost by over 50 percent.

He was speaking at the launch of Dell Efficient Data Centre (EDC) recently.

"For many companies, maintaining and running the existing infrastructure accounts for 80 percent of their IT budget and by implementing a Dell Efficient Data Centre to reduce it to less than 50 percent, facilitates freeing up a significant amount of money that could be used for innovation and reinvestment in strategic projects," Jayatilaka said.

The demands on IT have improved exponentially. Organizations need servers to help them manage large amounts of data, mine it, process it and turn it into actionable business intelligence. Virtualization is an important segment and it has given organizations a fundamentally different way to manage their IT resources. "Dell EDC helps to deliver more efficient IT solutions that work harder in service of their customers as we take a different approach by putting the customers' needs first. Thus, it benefits the consumers in a greater manner," he said.

During the operations of Dell in Sri Lanka the performance has shown an upward trend. C de S
