Small businesses feel the effects of EMC-Dell merger | #DellWorld
Data centers are often beyond the purchasing power of smaller companies, but that is starting to change. As easily expandable options become available through Nutanix, Inc., businesses like Southwest Bank have been able to eliminate on-site servers in favor of remote access. The company operates a highly centralized main office with one desktop tech that travels as needed.
The 18-branch Dallas-Fort Worth area bank is “focused on security aspects” as opposed to Big Data at this time. Therefore, the demands on data are less than might otherwise be anticipated. Bryce Tuck, AVP of network services at Southwest Bank, spoke with John Furrier and Dave Vellante, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, at Dell World 2015 in Austin, Texas.
Making the right purchase the first time
Tuck made a point that smaller companies have to be more conservative with their technology purchases. While larger companies can make a $100k purchase that does not pan out and chalk it up to experimentation, smaller companies must make the right purchase the first time.
Southwest Bank is “primarily a Dell shop,” but with the recent merger, he is seeing a “whole new breath of product.” EMC is known for its storage, but Tuck feels this emphasis is misplaced, as EMC has much more to offer than storage.
