Dell and Inktomi Team to Optimize Corporate Network Performance

📅 June 25, 2001 - Hardware manufacturer Dell and infrastructure software developer Inktomi Corp., announced on Monday that they had formed a relationship intended to offer Inktomi's industry-leading scalable infrastructure software on Dell's award-winning PowerEdge servers.

Available immediately, the hardware and software combination will be offered to U.S. customers as caching appliances to help reduce bandwidth costs, increase availability on critical Web servers and improve the Web experience for end-users by accelerating content delivery. Dell's PowerApp.cache Inktomi Powered server, built on Inktomi's Traffic Server Engine and Dell's PowerEdge 1550 and PowerEdge 2550, are designed to provide large telecommunications companies, xSPs, Web hosting companies, and enterprises of all sizes with a caching solution that is easy to install, deploy and manage.
To ease the installation of the new appliances, customers can take advantage of Dell OpenManage Kick-Start Utility, a simple network configuration tool that can be run from any machine with a Java-enabled browser. This utility allows the user to input basic network information, such as loading of the IP address, naming of the host and gateway, subnet address assignment and initial cache configuration. Additionally, Dell customers can choose Premier Enterprise Services, which include support, consulting and deployment services to help them more efficiently build and maintain their IT infrastructures.
"As companies of all sizes take greater advantage of the Internet for conducting business, the need for a scalable, efficient network infrastructure becomes a top priority for our customers," said Russ Holt, vice president and general manager for Dell's Enterprise Systems Group. "By combining Dell's award-winning hardware with Inktomi's best-in-class caching software, we're offering our customers a solution to enhance network performance, resulting in a better Web experience for their end-users."
"Inktomi's relationship with Dell extends our reach within the enterprise by providing companies of all sizes with build-to-order content management solutions that enable a faster, more responsive network experience while reducing bandwidth requirements," said Ted Hally, senior vice president and general manager, Content Networking Solutions Group at Inktomi. "We're pleased to be working with Dell on the development of these new Internet appliances to meet market demands for easy-to-install caching and streaming media content delivery platforms."
