Quotes
“I find PocketCloud invaluable when I am doing my rounds to see patients,” saidDr. Michael Klein, a pediatric physician at Middlesex Hospital in Middletown, Conn. “Being able to get the applications and information on my iPad when and where I need it helps me complete routine charting in a fraction of the time. The additional mobility is particularly helpful, because it means that I can go to where the children are and update information on the fly rather than having to log information or find a desktop to make amendments.”
“Users require access to their digital assets at their fingertips wherever they might be,” said Tarkan Maner, vice president and general manager, Cloud Client Computing at Dell.“With the larger and more user-friendly interface available on tablet devices, users can do it all, from sharing personal memories to editing professional documents. Dell Wyse PocketCloud solutions makecloud computing less ’pie in the sky‘, and more ’palm of your hand’, as users are able to not only access all their assets from their mobile devices, but also change, upload and delete them at will.”
“Dell continues down a path to capitalize on opportunities to address the ever-increasing pressures of BYOD with new consumer solutions for easy data access while also adhering to demands of IT to create secure and manageable environments,” said Stacy Crook, program manager, mobile enterprise at IDC. “Dell’s updated portfolio of PocketCloud services enables consumers to easily access, view and share content across personal clouds, within multiple operating environments, while providing IT with a secure means of providing remote access to professional content.”
