LIBERTYVILLE, IL (January 20, 2021) – MBX Systems, a manufacturer of purpose-built and deployment-ready hardware platforms for OEMs and ISVs requiring turnkey hardware/software solutions, has been awarded the 2021 Rising Star Partner by Dell Technologies OEM Solutions. The award was based on MBX’s 2020-2021 spend for Dell Technologies OEM systems, which added multiple new logos to the Dell Technologies OEM Solutions’ customer base.

The adoptions spanned edge, embedded and data center solutions for vertical applications ranging from medical and AI compute/inferencing to IP video surveillance, leveraging the strengths of both MBX and Dell Technologies OEM Solutions’ offerings.

Key factors helping MBX grow its Dell Technologies OEM Solutions based business included MBX’s development of dozens of vertical-specific Dell Technologies OEM Solutions reference platforms that dramatically shorten time to market, along with fast-track customization options for new products through the MBX Rapid Integration Center. MBX also offers services and components not available directly from Dell Technologies OEM Solutions to address the unique product development and integration needs of OEM customers.

Also contributing to MBX’s Dell Technologies OEM Solutions based growth were the industry-first MBX Hatch™ toolset enabling customers to track all aspects of their hardware programs without multiple phone calls and spreadsheets, and high-touch MBX program services including inventory management, global logistics, component lifecycle management, and custom branding from bezel to box.

Dell Technologies OEM Solutions’ benefits to MBX customers include global certifications, global warranties that travel with the finished systems, and an OEM partnership in both the U.S. and European Union that eliminates the time, expense and supply chain delays of shipping product between continents. MBX customers using Dell Technologies OEM Solutions platforms also have the option to have their applications imaged, tested and verified at Dell manufacturing facilities around the globe utilizing MBX Forge, a proprietary production infrastructure that yields an industry-leading 99.5% defect-free workmanship through quality control, security and scalability features unavailable from any other hardware integrator.

“Many of our customers want to build their platforms on Tier 1 hardware, in part to facilitate their expansion into global markets. Dell EMC servers are an ideal solution because they are certified for use worldwide and backed by strong global support programs,” said MBX CEO Chris Tucker. “This Dell Technologies OEM Solutions Rising Star Partner award recognition reflects both the benefits of the Dell Technologies’ OEM portfolio and our own value-add in helping OEMs and ISVs requiring hardware deployments get to market quickly, seamlessly and with the easiest hardware program management in the industry.”
