Back to All Partners Dell/EMC INVITE Networks is a Dell Technologies infrastructure and storage partner, designing and managing Dell EMC server, storage, and hyperconverged infrastructure solutions for enterprise and mid-market organizations in Salt Lake City and Phoenix. INVITE handles architecture planning, procurement, deployment, and day-two managed support for Dell EMC environments — so your internal team focuses on strategic initiatives while INVITE owns the infrastructure stack. TL;DR: INVITE Networks designs, deploys, and manages Dell EMC storage, server, and HCI environments for mid-market and enterprise organizations in Utah and Arizona. From PowerStore to VxRail, INVITE handles the full stack — procurement, implementation, and day-two management. This page is for IT directors and VPs of Infrastructure evaluating a Dell Technologies partner who can own the deployment and ongoing management of their Dell EMC environment. What does INVITE Networks deliver as a Dell Technologies partner? INVITE Networks is an authorized Dell Technologies partner with hands-on experience deploying and managing Dell EMC infrastructure across storage, servers, hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), and data protection. INVITE’s engineers design solutions around the customer’s actual workload requirements — right-sizing compute and storage rather than defaulting to whatever ships fastest. Engagements typically include solution architecture, bill of materials, procurement coordination, rack-and-stack or remote deployment, and integration with existing VMware, Microsoft, or cloud environments. Beyond implementation, INVITE delivers ongoing managed infrastructure services that keep Dell EMC environments healthy — firmware patching, capacity planning, performance monitoring, and support escalation with Dell. Customers get a single point of accountability for their infrastructure rather than splitting responsibility between a reseller and an internal team. Why do Salt Lake City and Phoenix organizations choose INVITE for Dell EMC infrastructure? Organizations in Utah and Arizona choose INVITE because INVITE operates as an extension of the IT team, not just a hardware fulfillment vendor. INVITE’s engineers have deployed Dell EMC storage and HCI across healthcare, financial services, and professional services verticals — industries where downtime has direct revenue and compliance consequences. That operational depth means INVITE can assess a customer’s environment honestly, recommend the right Dell Technologies solution, and own the outcome after delivery. A Phoenix-based financial services firm with approximately 400 users engaged INVITE to replace aging SAN infrastructure with Dell PowerStore. INVITE scoped the migration, coordinated data movement during off-peak hours, and handed off a fully managed environment — reducing storage-related support tickets by over 60% in the first six months. The firm’s infrastructure team now operates without a dedicated storage engineer on staff, with INVITE handling all day-two operations through a managed services agreement. How does INVITE deploy and manage Dell EMC as part of its managed infrastructure services? INVITE approaches Dell EMC deployments with a lifecycle model: discovery and design, procurement and deployment, and ongoing managed operations. During discovery, INVITE engineers assess current infrastructure performance, capacity headroom, and workload requirements to produce a solution design that aligns with the organization’s three-to-five-year roadmap. Procurement runs through INVITE’s Dell Technologies partnership, which ensures customers receive authorized configurations with full warranty coverage and Dell support entitlements. Post-deployment, INVITE transitions the environment into its managed services practice. Engineers monitor Dell EMC storage and server health through centralized tooling, respond to alerts, manage firmware and driver updates, and coordinate Dell ProSupport cases when hardware replacement is required. Customers receive regular capacity and performance reports so infrastructure decisions are data-driven, not reactive. For organizations also managing network and security infrastructure, INVITE integrates Dell EMC management into a broader co-managed or fully managed IT model through its managed services practice. What Dell EMC products does INVITE deploy and manage? INVITE deploys and manages the core Dell Technologies infrastructure portfolio, including PowerStore all-flash storage arrays, PowerEdge rack and tower servers, VxRail hyperconverged infrastructure, PowerProtect data protection appliances, and Dell Networking switching for data center and campus environments. For organizations consolidating workloads onto HCI, INVITE has particular depth with VxRail deployments that run VMware vSAN and integrate with existing vCenter management environments. INVITE also supports Dell Technologies client hardware — Latitude and Precision workstations, OptiPlex desktops, and Wyse thin clients — as part of device lifecycle programs for organizations that want a single managed services partner across endpoint and infrastructure. Configuration, imaging, deployment, and asset management are handled end-to-end through INVITE’s operations team in Salt Lake City.

Frequently Asked Questions: Dell Technologies Infrastructure Is INVITE Networks an authorized Dell Technologies partner? Yes. INVITE Networks is an authorized Dell Technologies partner with active resale and services agreements. All Dell EMC hardware procured through INVITE includes full Dell warranty coverage and ProSupport entitlements. INVITE engineers maintain current Dell Technologies certifications across storage, server, and HCI product lines. Can INVITE manage our Dell EMC environment if we don’t have an internal infrastructure team? Yes — this is one of the most common engagements INVITE runs. Many mid-market organizations in Salt Lake City and Phoenix have generalist IT staff without dedicated storage or server expertise. INVITE’s managed infrastructure services are designed to fill that gap, providing expert Dell EMC management at a predictable monthly cost without the overhead of a full-time infrastructure engineer on staff. How does INVITE handle firmware and software updates on Dell EMC storage and servers? INVITE manages firmware and driver updates as part of its standard managed services agreements. Engineers track Dell’s recommended update cadence, test updates in customer environments where possible, and schedule maintenance windows to minimize impact. For Dell EMC storage arrays and VxRail clusters, INVITE uses Dell’s native lifecycle management tooling to validate compatibility before applying updates. How long does a typical Dell EMC storage deployment take with INVITE? Most Dell EMC storage deployments — from signed scope to production cutover — run four to eight weeks, depending on data migration complexity and existing environment readiness. Greenfield deployments with no data migration are typically faster. INVITE provides a project schedule during the scoping phase so stakeholders have accurate timeline expectations before hardware is ordered.
