Atos og Dell EMC indgår samarbejde for at adressere Internet of Things markedet

Atos, markedsleder indenfor digital transformation, og DELL EMC annoncerede at de indgår partnerskab for, at adressere det voksende Internet of Things (IoT) og business analytics marked. Dette samarbejde baseres på best-in-class hardware og software fra Dell EMC, kombineret med Atos’ ”Codex”, et komplet sæt løsninger og kapaciteter til at designe, bygge, drifte og sikre ’smart data’ forretningsservices, platforme og Internet of Things redskaber. Fokus vil i første omgang være på Nordamerika og Europa.

I 2020 vil næsten 40% af services indtægter komme fra IOT relaterede tjenesteydelser ifølge Markets and Markets. Behovet for IoT vil stige år efter år grundet en stigende efterspørgsel for IT-rådgivning og støtte. IoT tegnede sig for 57 milliarder dollars i 2016 og er estimeret til at nå 158 milliarder dollars inden 2021, en CAGR på over 22%.

Den overvældende vækst i brugen af connected devices og de data der opsamles af disse devices, vil kræve en bred og industriel robust løsning for at kunne udøve data management af de enorme mængde data og de mange datafangststeder skabt af IoT.

Yuga Joshi, Practice Director at Everest Group: “Atos’ approach to enabling IoT use cases for achieving operational efficiency, customer engagement, and business transformation meets a clear market requirement. It’s capabilities across the IoT stack, enhanced by strategic investments, partnerships, such as with Dell EMC, and experience in executing large-scale projects drives continuous value delivery and improved business outcomes for the customers.”

Atos og Dell EMC arbejder sammen om at opbygge et IoT service framework – kaldet Atos Codex IoT Services - der vil sikre kundernes kontrol af deres data og anvendelsen af disse data i forhold til forretningsværdien.

Atos Codex IoT Services-strukturen indeholder et katalog af tjenester, herunder styring af devices, connectivity, data & storage, change & release control, incident management, ServiceDesk & support samt struktur for at minimere fejl eller forstyrrelser. Disse tjenester vil blive leveret med bruger-definerede serviceniveauer, herunder de nødvendige sikkerhedsforanstaltninger for access management og data kryptering. Atos Codex framework codex indeholder også en reference arkititektur for hardware- og softwareløsninger fra DELL EMC samt softwareløsninger og integrationsydelser fra Atos.

Samarbejdet forventes at dække to områder:

• Fælles udvikling/design af Service Delivery Framework ved at benytte de eksisterende aktiver fra begge selskaber.
• Fælles go-to-market aktiviteter, underbygget af den fælles brandværdi fra Dell EMC og Atos, og de fælles ressourcer for at møde kundernes efterspørgsel.

Atos Codex IoT Services er tilgængelig nu for kunderne, og porteføljen vil blive udviklet i takt med kundernes efterspørgsel.

Jay Snyder, Senior Vice President, Global Alliances, Industries & Service Providers at Dell EMC: “We are proud to help Atos enhance their IoT service offering, which will leverage our comprehensive portfolio such as Dell Edge Gateways to securely transfer and analyze important data at the edge of the network and Dell EMC hyper-converged infrastructure and scale-out storage at the core. Combining these assets with Atos’ expertise, services, hardware and their IoT capabilities in the Atos Codex end-to-end managed analytics offering, we are well positioned to help our customers successfully deliver their IoT-driven digital transformation agenda.”

Paul Albada Jelgersma, Head of IoT Solutions at Atos: “We are proud to partner with Dell EMC to provide our clients with the services, technology and capabilities they need to effectively manage their assets and generate value from them, by leveraging our combined strength in IoT products and services. This will offer businesses the tools to utilize their data and assets to provide continuous value and improved business outcomes, wherever they are.”
