What Dakel does

Dakel Informática S.A. is a privately held Spanish IT infrastructure integrator founded in 1990 and headquartered at the Parc Tecnològic del Vallès in Cerdanyola del Vallès, near Barcelona. The company designs, configures, and integrates enterprise-grade servers, unified storage systems (SAN/NAS/DAS), thin client endpoints, infrastructure monitoring, and immutable backup solutions, assembling certified components from more than 20 technology partners — including Intel, AMD, Supermicro, Infortrend, IGEL, eG Innovations, Tandberg, Promise, Actidata, 10ZiG, and Perle — and validating the resulting configurations in its own laboratory. Its proprietary R/T server line (R/T 1900, R/T 1800, R/T 500) is dimensioned at the component level (CPU generation, DDR5 memory tier, NVMe Gen5 storage, RAID configuration, and up to 200GbE connectivity) for specific workloads such as Proxmox and VMware virtualization, HPC, VDI backends, AI/ML workloads, and media production environments.

Dakel operates a pure consultative, enterprise field-sales model with no e-commerce or self-serve pricing; every engagement begins with a "Habla con un Experto" or "Pide una Live-Demo" form, followed by bespoke configuration, lab validation, and quotation. Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) one-time hardware sales of servers, storage, and thin clients, (2) multi-year support contracts including a standard 5-year on-site server warranty, and (3) recurring software licensing and subscription revenue from monitoring (eG Enterprise), endpoint management (IGEL UMS), and backup (Mast Backup) products. The company also acts as a Spanish distributor for its principal technology partners and runs a "Cómo ser distribuidor" channel to reach end customers through other VARs.

Dakel sells to medium and large enterprises in Spain across mission-critical use cases including data protection, secure digital workspaces (Windows 11 migration, Zero Trust endpoints via IGEL OS paired with Palo Alto Prisma or Zscaler), high-availability clustering, and hybrid infrastructure monitoring. Customer logos are not publicly disclosed, and the company does not report revenue, headcount, or ownership details beyond its existence as an independent Sociedad Anónima operating continuously since 1990.

Revenue model

1. Servidores y almacenamiento (Servers & Storage Hardware): Dakel generates revenue primarily through the sale of custom-configured server platforms and enterprise storage systems. Servers are built to order based on customer-specified CPU, memory, storage, and connectivity requirements. Storage solutions include Infortrend SAN/NAS, Promise Technology, and expansion enclosures. Hardware is sold as one-time capital purchases, typically accompanied by multi-year support contracts.
2. Thin Client y Endpoint: Sale of thin client hardware devices (IGEL, 10ZiG, UltrArmor brands) and associated endpoint management software licensing (IGEL OS, UMS). Devices are sold as hardware units, with software licensing bundled per device or per managed endpoint.
3. Soporte y Servicios (Support & Professional Services): Post-sale technical support, on-site service, health checks, onboarding, e-training, and warranty/RMA services. Servers come with a 5-year on-site warranty as standard. Support contracts are offered alongside hardware sales as recurring service revenue.
4. Monitorización y Software (Monitoring & Software): Distribution and integration of eG Enterprise monitoring software, Mast Backup software licenses, and other third-party software products. Revenue includes software licensing and renewals.
