Chairman and CEO of Dell, Michael Dell recently launched the company’s new line of desktop and notebook computers aimed particularly at businesses that have lesser than 25 employees. This line called ‘Vostro’ has features like data backup, network setup, and PC maintenance that will greatly aid such organizations lacking IT specialists.
Vostro in Latin means “yours”. The name is indicative of Dell’s attempt to provide small businesses with products that are simple and inexpensive and are also supported by highly effective service.
Vostro computers do not have any trial ware or limited versions of software that require re installation later on. For the first year, free versions of customized support tools will be available on these computers. These tools include the following: Automated PC Tune-Up, which makes maintenance tasks very simple; Dell Network Assistance, which greatly facilitates network set-up and repair; and Dell DataSafe Online, which helps in online data backup. Moreover, 6,500 Dell employees have been assigned to provide technical support for Vostro users.
At a meeting recently, Dell remarked that entrepreneurs have been for too long forced to incorporate solutions intended for either consumers or large corporates into their highly specific environments. He said that Vostro will empower owners of small businesses by allowing them to choose exactly those IT solutions that will enable them to be successful.
The Vostro line has four notebooks with screen sizes varying from 14 to 17 inches. The price of notebooks starts at $449, while that of desktop PCs starts at $319. In late August, a performance desktop is expected to hit the market. Visit the following site for more information on products: www.dell.com/webelieve
