Modernize Your IT Environment
Modernizing federal IT takes more than incremental change. This solution brief shows how Dell Technologies supports AI adoption, multicloud operations, cyber resiliency, and efficient data centers while aligning with federal mandates. Explore the brief to see how your agency can modernize infrastructure, improve performance, and support mission outcomes.
How can Dell Technologies help our agency accelerate AI adoption?
Dell Technologies helps you deploy AI where your data already lives—whether that’s in your data center, in the cloud, or at the edge—so you don’t have to redesign everything from scratch.
Key points:
- **Deploy AI close to your data:** Run AI workloads in your existing environments (data center, cloud, or edge) to reduce data movement and latency.
- **Right-sized infrastructure:** Dell focuses on infrastructure that is appropriately scaled for your needs, helping you avoid overprovisioning and unnecessary spend.
- **Compliance-aware design:** The AI-ready infrastructure is built to support the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, helping you address risk, governance, and accountability requirements.
For federal teams that expect innovation to speed up—**88% of leaders expect innovation to accelerate, but only 52% feel prepared**—this approach helps you move forward with AI in a controlled, cost-conscious, and compliant way.
What does it mean to modernize our data center and multicloud environment with Dell?
Dell Technologies focuses on helping you modernize both your data center and your multicloud/edge operations in a coordinated way.
**Improve data center efficiency**
- By **2027, 40% of data centers running AI are expected to face power constraints**.
- Dell’s latest **PowerEdge servers** are designed to deliver the performance of about **seven older servers while using significantly less energy**.
- This can help you:
- Reduce power and cooling demands
- Lower total cost of ownership (TCO)
- Support **Executive Order 14057** sustainability goals
**Optimize multicloud and edge**
- Dell helps you **unify operations across edge, core, and cloud** with a more consistent operating experience.
- You can maintain control of sensitive data while still enabling innovation across environments.
- This approach aligns with:
- **Cloud Smart** strategy
- **FedRAMP Modernization** efforts
In practice, this means you can reimagine your infrastructure so it’s more efficient, easier to manage across multiple clouds and edge locations, and better aligned with federal policy and budget expectations.
How does Dell Technologies support cyber resiliency and compliance for federal agencies?
Dell Technologies focuses on trusted infrastructure and secure practices to help you strengthen cyber resiliency as you modernize.
Why this matters:
- **83% of organizations worldwide experienced security attacks last year**, so resilience is now a baseline requirement, not a nice-to-have.
Key elements:
- **Trusted infrastructure and secure supply chain:** Dell emphasizes secure supply chain practices and infrastructure designed to help protect critical workloads.
- **Support for federal compliance:** Solutions are built to support:
- **FedRAMP** and **FISMA** requirements
- **Zero Trust** architecture principles
- **CISA directives** for critical infrastructure protection
- **Resilience during cloud transitions:** As you move workloads to and across clouds, Dell’s approach is designed to maintain mission flexibility and continuity, rather than forcing you into a single operating model.
Combined with modern application platforms—blending traditional three-tier flexibility with hyperconverged simplicity, at a time when **89% of organizations see multi-hypervisor evaluation as strategic**—Dell helps you rethink your environment so it is more secure, more adaptable, and better aligned with federal cyber expectations.
