PLANO, Texas — (BUSINESS WIRE) — April 24, 2013 — As enterprises face an increasingly complex and converged IT environment, they require a higher level of service to maintain and optimize performance.

With new support offerings and automation, customers can improve the hardware performance and stability in the data center, leverage the insights gained through intelligent data and increase the productivity of their teams.
“As customers struggle with adoption of new technologies and the resulting complexity in their data centers, IDC recommends they consider vendors with state-of-the-art offerings, deep domain expertise and the tools and automation to help address day-to-day operational issues. Dell's ProSupport Enterprise Suite of services demonstrates that Dell has stepped up to provide a true enterprise-class service offering to meets these needs,” said Rob Brothers, Program Director Hardware and Software Support and Deploy Services, IDC.
