Dell has sent out a questionnaire to see if users are interested in desktop Linux, and which version of the open-source operating system they would like to use on Dell hardware.
Michael Dell acknowledged on Wednesday that his company has in the past missed some key industry trends, such as the importance of retail sales and consumer products.
Vmware has launched a new tool to test the performance of virtualised systems, which in the past has been difficult to pin down despite the benefits of virtualisation.
Dell has crunched its numbers and says there isn't a problem with solid-state drives but it's still early days for the costly technology.
Dell's UK launch of PCs pre-installed with the Ubuntu Linux operating system has run into trouble, with the company admitting to issues it described only as "gremlins".
We take one of Intel's new 34nm SSD drives for a spin and find it a worthy hard disk replacement, delivering massive speed jumps when loading software. But watch out for a penalty when writing data.
It's nigh on impossible to hear a bad word about virtualisation software at the moment, but is it good news for everyone?
Blade servers were once the saviours of the datacentre. Expandability was king. But do blade servers still make sense today? We find out if they're still worth it.
What's the best mid-range server on the market? We put machines from Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM and Lenovo through their paces in our labs.
It's one thing to know your datacentre is important to your company's day-to-day functioning, but something altogether different to risk disrupting critical services worldwide when circumstances force you to move the entire infrastructure.
Second Life, with an alleged population of 7.979 million, is changing the way businesses think about what their customers want, and whether "virtual" is a viable way to give it to them.
There's no such thing as an average server, but for just about all your everyday computing needs one of these Intel Xeon-based servers is likely to do the trick.
The ST2310 has a low price and is good for everyday tasks, but it lacks some of the extra features included with similarly priced displays.
Dell's Mini 10v keeps a lot of the features of the more expensive Mini 10, while dropping the price to AU$549. It's one of only a handful of AU$600 netbooks that doesn't look and feel especially cheap.
Dell's tablet isn't cheap, but it'll appeal to the business crowd who desire a solidly built system.
Managing data storage is just as much of a task (or greater) as managing the servers themselves. It makes sense to centralise management in larger organisations wherever possible. Enter the storage area network (SAN).
The Dell Inspiron 15 is likely the best bang for buck you'll get for AU$1000, from its battery life to its upgrade options. We do miss the numpad, but the rest is perfect for the budget-conscious user.
