Organizations are grappling with virtualization dilemmas: expensive lock‑in, dual‑stack operations for VMs and containers, rising lifecycle overhead, and uncertain migration paths. Dell Private Cloud solves these challenges by combining disaggregated Dell infrastructure with the Dell Automation Platform to deliver an appliance‑like experience—blueprint‑driven deployment, updates, expansion, and system‑level support—integrated directly into the familiar OpenShift Web Console for unified visibility and action. With Intel Xeon Scalable‑based Dell PowerEdge and validated Dell Storage options, customers gain reliable performance for modern workloads without proprietary hardware requirements.

1. Understand how Dell Private Cloud delivers an appliance‑like experience with validated blueprints and desired‑state lifecycle management to cut operational risk and toil.

2. See how OpenShift can unify VMs and containers—providing an actionable path to modernize without forcing a big‑bang migration.

3. Learn how Intel Xeon Scalable‑powered PowerEdge plus validated Dell Storage options deliver scalable performance without proprietary hardware lock‑in.

4. Explore how the OpenShift Web Console extension and Dell Orchestrator together centralize day‑two activities (updates, expansion, serviceability) in tools your teams already use.
