Dell CEO Michael Dell&#160;plans to announce a series of new products aimed at making life easier for IT managers.The announcement of these products is scheduled to happen during a keynote by Dell at the Oracle OpenWorld conference in San Francisco Nov. 14.&quot;What you&#39;re going to hear Michael talk about ... is some real products and services coming down the pipe here very shortly on how we simplify IT for customers of all sizes,&quot; said Brad Anderson, senior vice president and general manager of Dell&#39;s Business Products Group, during an interview.Among the products and services that Dell plans to announce are a cheaper and simpler virtualization product, new blade servers for large datacenters, and IT support services for small companies that face the same challenges confronted by corporations with large IT departments but don&#39;t have the same resources, Anderson said.The ultimate aim of these products and services is to help reduce the costs companies bear when they purchase new computers or roll out new software applications.&quot;You&#39;ve got to think about how customers procure [IT products like a server], how they deploy it, how they manage it on an ongoing basis, how they dynamically reconfigure it for their changing requirements, and maybe how they retire it,&quot; Anderson said. &quot;How can we really streamline and simplify each step of that lifecycle so the customer invests less of his or her money to go do those things?&quot;This effort to make lives easier for IT managers will start at the manufacturing level, where Dell is offering customers the ability to have PCs and servers shipped with software applications pre-installed and tested, Anderson said.&#160;

(InfoWorld) - DellÂ on Thursday announced that Michael Cannon, the current president and CEO of electronics maker Solectron, will head a newly formed group that will oversee much of the company's operations, including manufacturing, procurement and suppliers. Cannon's appointment is the latest sign of a management shakeup underway at Dell, and underscores the seriousness of the challenges facing the company. Paul Tufano succeeds Cannon and will serve as interim CEO while the company searches for a permanent replacement. Once the PC industry's superstar, Dell has struggled in recent quarters. The companyÂ lost its title of world's largest PC vendorÂ to a resurgent Hewlett-Packard. The company also faces scrutiny from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission intoÂ its accounting practices, which forced the company to delay filing its financial results for the second and third quarters of 2006. In addition, Dell last yearÂ recalled millions of defective laptop batteries, after they were determined to pose a potential fire risk to customers. In a bid to turn things around, Dell CEOÂ Kevin Rollins was replaced last monthÂ by Michael Dell, the company's chairman. Dell's return was accompanied by warnings that the company's financial results for the fourth quarter, to be announced March 1, will fall below analyst expectations. Cannon, who was president and CEO of hard-disk maker MaxtorÂ -- now part of Seagate TechnologyÂ -- before joining Solectron, will be responsible for improving Dell's manufacturing operations after he starts work on Feb, 26. His job includes the responsibility for opening factories that are closer to customers and improving the company's supply chain, Dell said, noting that plans are underway to add new factories in India, Poland and Brazil. The ultimate goal, according to Dell, is to improve product quality while shortening manufacturing times and reducing costs. Â
