Dell Reinvents the Commercial Desktop Segment, Updates Optiplex Series

Dell has comprehensively updated its OptiPlex commercial PC portfolio in five years to meet the changing needs of the next generation future workforce.

Considering the needs of a tech-savvy workforce in an increasingly globalized work environment, these smaller, faster and more energy efficient devices are designed to increase employee productivity by offering a seamless technology experience. The new Optiplex portfolio allows the workforce to execute and deliver quicker results, enhancing productivity by optimizing computing performance.

New Dell OptiPlex Desktops Optimize the Modern Workplace

The OptiPlex line of PCs are the world’s most secure commercial desktops available with industry-leading endpoint security solutions from Dell’s own Dell Data Protection suite that include comprehensive encryption, advanced authentication, leading-edge malware protection and advanced threat protection. OptiPlex is also the world’s most manageable commercial desktop portfolio with Intel® Core™ vPro™ processor technology and Client Command Suite. All of this is backed by enterprise-class support including Dell ProSupport Plus and Configuration & Deployment Services.

The fully revamped OptiPlex portfolio unveiled today will forever change perceptions about the commercial desktop with its smaller, faster and more energy-efficient Micro Form Factor, Small Form Factor, Mini Tower and All-in-One designs. The rapidly evolving workforce requires businesses to invest in technology that enables employees to work faster, make better decisions, and be more productive and collaborative. Yet today, over 200 million Dell commercial customers are working on a PC that is more than four years old.

“We are intent on delivering the most innovative solutions to meet our customers’ most pressing needs. For this reason we are investing in bringing new innovations to the market in the pursuit to define the future of the PC and the role it plays,” said Indrajit Belgundi, Director & General Manager, End User Computing, Dell Inc. “The faster and smaller Optiplex series are optimized to cater to the evolving workforce, enabling them to be productive and to deliver results in a technology environment which is conducive to faster work, better decisions and comprehensive collaboration. In combination with Dell’s data security and enterprise-class support, the new Optiplex series is set to transform the way the entire workforce computes.”
