A Foundation for Scalable Infrastructure: Dell + Broadcom

A Foundation for Scalable Infrastructure — Dell + Broadcom

Business leaders are increasingly focused on finding ways to improve existing operational efficiency and support new cloud and AI applications. These operational imperatives must be met while simultaneously ensuring data privacy and governance is maintained. These challenges have led many organizations to explore ways to build a hybrid cloud that can leverage both public and private cloud resources. 

An important component of any IT environment is the networking technology utilized, as the network quite literally serves as the glue that holds these disparate resources together. Increasingly, Ethernet has become the fabric of choice, due to its ubiquity and ability to be utilized for server, storage and now AI environments across the hybrid multi-cloud resources. 

The use of proprietary networking, specifically Fibre Channel and InfiniBand is diminishing, due to the added cost, complexity and lack of access to these networks across hybrid cloud environments. In addition to AI, the biggest concern many businesses have is security and cyber resiliency. With cyber-attacks an increasing threat experienced by many organizations, ensuring IT infrastructure is secure is a critical consideration. 

The Futurum Group was asked to evaluate Dell’s networking options, including the security, management features, and integration with existing and new networking requirements. This included Dell 16th Generation PowerEdge servers with Broadcom 57508 line of Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) cards utilizing both Futurum Group and Dell lab facilities. 

In our latest Lab Insight Report, A Foundation for Scalable Infrastructure: Dell + Broadcom, completed in partnership with Dell and Broadcom, we evaluate the impact of network speed on storage, applications, and the security and cyber resiliency features of Dell Servers with Broadcom NICs. 

In this Lab Insight, you will learn:

  • Ethernet requirements for Modern IT Infrastructure
  • Security features of Dell and Broadcom data center Infrastructure

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
