Dell Cloud Marketplace

The market — such place where people gather to study different products, and then to purchase that which will meet their requirements. Dell started in November, 2014 the beta program under the name Dell Cloud Marketplace practically to experience the approach to aggregation of cloud services from many suppliers^[1].

Dell Cloud Marketplace is the on-line platform which will facilitate to the IT organizations providing cloud services to the internal users, consolidating management, billing and support of cloud services in one interface, convenient for use. Dell Cloud Marketplace will help both IT departments, and developers, providing to developers flexible opportunities and necessary functionality which those expect from a cloud, and unifying management of cloud services for IT personnel.

Dell tries to convince the enterprises that they need its help in streamlining of elements of cloud acquisitions which do business departments without control or the help from corporate IT departments. There are several cards which Dell spreads on a table:

• Dell wants that the enterprises believed that it is the entrusted partner and will help to return Wild West under corporate control;
• Dell she intends to make the list of the recommended cloud services to accelerate and secure the choice of providers;
• Dell wants to help the clients to provide the transparency meeting corporate expectations, controllability and compliance to regulatory requirements of the services used by them in conditions when business departments subscribe for services necessary for them without any participation of IT departments;
• Dell creates tools which will facilitate deployment of the selected cloud services;
• Dell hopes that its centralized billing will help the enterprises to estimate real costs for cloud services in comparison to actually received benefits;

Though Dell draws for IT departments an attractive picture of recovery of the control over IT lost by them, not really clearly whether business departments that IT departments set the power in the world of cloud services will allow. Business departments addressed service providers of clouds as they felt that corporate IT structures do not provide them necessary applications and services. Having tried to work within internal systems and without having seen desirable results, they redirected the budgetary funds on other appointment.

Dell, apparently, heard appeals of the IT organizations and developed the beta program to show that using Dell IT departments will be able to return control over use of IT in the enterprise.

At all nobility of effective objectives whether it is absolutely clear, first, the directory of services which would satisfy with everything to needs of corporate departments will be able to create Dell; secondly, whether the enterprises in a line will be able to force the divisions to be built and to use only the approved services; thirdly, whether Dell together with IT departments of the companies rather easily will be able and quickly to react to business requests to convince making decisions in business departments that IT departments will sensitively listen to their requirements this time.
