2023 is coming to an end, and AI has undoubtedly occupied the C position of hot topics in the IT industry this year. AI isn't everything, thoughMany technologies are also moving forward in tandemand turn ideas into reality and penetrate into the IT operations of enterprises.

Looking back on this year, John Roese, global chief technology officer of Dell Technologies, said at the Dell Technologies Forum held in October this yearThere are four technologies that are profoundly impacting the current digital landscape
When we think about our industry, the challenge we face is not just one area of innovation or one problem, but there are four different areas that are all in a period of rapid innovation and change, respectivelyArtificial intelligenceMulti-cloud infrastructureEdge computingwithCybersecurity
Let's take a look at what John Roese said.
In terms of the impact of artificial intelligence, John Roese saidThe point of AI is to rebalance work
We've been trying to offload most of the human workload to machines. And this time, it's not just mechanical work, it's intellectual work. This will be a huge opportunity and a potential disruption
At the same time, we must consider what will happen when we move into an AI-driven future. It's not just about job creation, it's about what tools we need. If you're a developer and suddenly faced with the task of moving from cloud-native development to building large language models, do you have the right tools?Fundamentally, we don't just have to think about AI developers, we have to fast forward into the future. In the future, you will be surrounded by artificial intelligence 'co-pilots', what kind of computing environment do you need at this time?What kind of peripherals?”
At this year's Dell Technologies Global Summit,Dell and NVIDIA launched the Dell Project Helix projectto make it easier for businesses to build and use generative AI models. Based on Dell and NVIDIA infrastructure and software, Project Helix provides a full-stack solution with technical expertise and pre-built tools that simplifies enterprise-generated AI deployments through a tested and optimized Dell hardware and software portfolio, providing enterprises with more innovative data transformations, better value results and more secure data privacy protections.
In terms of multi-cloud, John Roese said that as we entered the era of cloud computing, we did a good job welcoming cloud computing, but it was too good.
Because the result of our hug is,Each infrastructure has its own cloud operating model。These infrastructures don't do the same thing in the way they cloud the cloud, they create silos, they create the best. So the challenge is how to transform the multi-cloud that we rely on – public, private, edge, etc. – into a system that will end up in chaos, fragmentation, and complexity if we don't.
And in the next multi-cloud era, we want to make the world's clouds work together, and it's really like a platform that we use to drive the transformation of our business into an AI world. ”
In November of this year,Dell Technologies officially launched the Dell APEX Cloud Platform in China, a fully integrated, turnkey system portfolio that integrates Dell infrastructure, software and cloud stack to deliver consistent multi-cloud operations by extending the cloud operating model to on-premises and edge environments. With the Apex Cloud Platform, users can place workloads in the best locations based on performance, cost, and security requirements, and enable data migration across a common multi-cloud storage layer.
When it comes to edge computing, John Roese says that you may not think that the edge has a lot of potential, but you definitely realize that most forward-looking data processing will not happen in the data center.
The reason isMost of the world's data that needs to be processed is not generated in data centers, but through sensors and devices in factories, hospitals, retail stores. So we're spreading the edge everywhere. ”
Also unveiled at this year's Dell Technologies Global Summit was Dell NativeedgeDell's Edge Operations software platform, built for zero-touch deployment and open systems design, helps customers streamline edge operations from the edge to the core data center by automating the management of edge infrastructure and applications at scale through a single digital interface.
When it comes to security, John Roese said, "I've been in the security industry for a long time, and we've always been reactive to threats.
As far as I know, there isn't a single person in the world who wakes up every morning and says, 'I'm doing a great job with security.'" This reactive response, constant fear of what will happen, is not a sustainable path, and we need to be more proactive in addressing threats.
In layman's terms, our vision for security is:With a reliable solution that allows you to 'sleep safely'。Of course, this is not something that can be solved casually, but we think it's the right journey. Technology is interconnected, and when you bring it together, you may end up with a better IT world and a better platform to drive digital transformation and the growth of the enterprise. ”
To help enterprise organizations minimize the risk of cyberattacks, Dell has launched the Project Fort Zero solution. This end-to-end zero trust solution can serve a variety of use cases, such as data centers where data security and compliance are critical, on-site implementations for operational continuity in places where indirect connectivity is required, and areas where customer data needs to be securely and analyzed in real-time in retail stores, such as retail stores. A fully configured Project Fort Zero solution will lower the barrier to entry for Zero Trust, and the estimated time to adoption of advanced Zero Trust can be reduced through a private cloud.
As John Roese said"Innovation is not just an idea, but an idea to find an answer, apply technology to it, and ultimately make progress".Dell Technologies has always insisted on technology upgrading and innovation, and constantly applies proven and innovative technologies to the right products. In the face of the challenges of the IT industry, Dell is well positioned to better support business growth and human progress.
