Dell Technologies APEX as-a-Service Offerings – Increase IT Control and Agility

Imagine a data center where pooled servers, networking, and storage can be rapidly redeployed to meet changing needs; where business application developers can self-provision their workload deployments; and where optimized storage and intelligent infrastructure are the norm. Dell is moving well beyond industry expectations to unlock data center efficiency and help organizations work toward the goal of returning as much as 50 percent of their IT budgets. 

Dell Technologies made good on a platform it announced last fall to integrate APEX Data center utility as-a-service and cloud offerings, which includes hybrid cloud and private cloud options and integrated compute storage and networking resources with support for both traditional desktop-oriented and cloud-native applications. Dell would offer faster hybrid cloud deployment than if customers went the do-it-yourself route, and in convenient subscription plans. 

To focus on running your business, rather than managing your infrastructure,  Dell’s APEX delivers cloud and infrastructure services for a range of data and workload requirements, enabling you to accelerate innovation, adapt to evolving requirements, and stay in control of IT operations. APEX is based on innovative Dell Technologies infrastructure built with Intel flexibility and performance. 

The Data Center Utility is a highly customizable, pay-per-use method, allowing for maximum scaling flexibility. Both options offer the most secure, complete, and customized option within the APEX offerings. Customers can pick from all types of Dell EMC “Power” products from storage to servers to hyperconverged and deploy in the environment. They also provide centralized management through the APEX console. 

Apex Custom Solutions feature infrastructure-as-a-service, with an Apex Flex on Demand offering that provides Dell Technologies servers, storage, data protection, hyperconverged IaaS in a usage-based consumption model that customers can scale as they desire. “This is elastic capacity, and it can be paired with managed services to enable a managed utility service at enterprise scale.”
