One of the primary design goals of Dell Technologies is to enable customers to be operational in days rather than weeks. Achieving this goal requires substantial engineering rigor before the customer receives the system. Keeping deployments predictable and costs low ensures that the least amount of time is spent on site. Customers are ensured a smooth transition to get started building plans and onboarding tenants.
The Dell Technologies engineering labs put Microsoft software and Dell Technologies hardware, software, and firmware through a suite of functional, performance, and reliability tests with a focus on standardizing and automating as much as possible. The team at the Dell Technologies factory runs additional pre-deployment tests to ensure that every system is not only fully integrated but that all possible issues are eliminated before shipping to the customer.
After the rack is in place, Dell Technologies technical engineers configure and integrate the hybrid-cloud environment, resulting in a fully operational platform that is ready—within days—to deliver services with Microsoft Azure Stack Hub.
The following table describes the Dell Technologies deployment services for the solution.
