Dell Technologies

CEO: Michael Dell

Dell provides the servers, storage systems and other IT infrastructure systems that many businesses and organizations rely on to run their operational and analytical big data workloads.

In January the company expanded its Dell PowerEdge server portfolio with 13 next-generation servers, incorporating 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors, for high-performance computing across data centers, public cloud and edge computing locations.

But the IT giant goes beyond just selling “big iron” for big data. It has developed “validated designs” for analytics that provide partners and customers with blueprints for big data systems including data lakehouses, real-time data streaming, and edge analytics for industry 4.0. Many of the designs incorporate products from other vendors such as Confluent, DataStax and Splunk.
