Full story
Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) unveils its APEX portfolio of
as-a-Service offerings to simplify how businesses consume
technology.
Building on its IT as-a-Service expertise, Dell Technologies
APEX reduces the time and complexity of acquiring, managing,
maintaining and servicing physical IT infrastructure. Customers can
scale IT as needed to launch new applications, kickstart new
projects, and address the changing needs of their organizations –
all managed by Dell and accessed through a single console.
"The world is innovating faster than ever to meet new demands of
customers, students, patients and constituents – driving the need
for a more agile and simple technology approach. This is what APEX
offers," said Allison Dew,
chief marketing officer and executive vice president of Dell
Technologies APEX. "With the industry's leading IT portfolio,
decades of data center services experience and an unmatched global
supply chain and partner network, no other as-a-Service portfolio
comes close to our capabilities."
Customers want IT that delivers business outcomes and solves top
business challenges like scaling IT up or down based on changing
needs, getting assets off the balance sheet, or managing
underutilized IT resources. With the APEX outcomes-based approach
to IT, organizations remove the worry of managing a particular
product line, version of a technology or specification.
"It's our mission to build the important personal relationships
with our patients to support them in achieving a healthy, vibrant
life," said Jay Pendergraft,
director of Business Computing Services for Magellan Health.
"Technology is the lifeblood of our organization and with Dell
Technologies APEX, we have better control of the infrastructure
that helps us serve our patients faster and more effectively."
Introducing Dell Technologies APEX
APEX gives organizations the flexibility to choose technology
services that best meet their needs. Dell and its partners
architect and manage the infrastructure. Organizations can deploy
APEX IT resources in 14 days and expand their APEX footprint in as
little as five days1. Customers can monitor and manage
their APEX offers in one place.
"Today's IT leaders are increasingly turning to as-a-Service,
and IDC predicts that by 2024, half of data center infrastructure
will be consumed as-a-Service," said Matthew Eastwood, senior vice president, IDC.
"Dell Technologies APEX is yet another example of Dell's agility
when addressing the needs of a transforming marketplace and is in
tune with the way customers want to use, consume and simplify
IT."
APEX Data Storage Services provides a simplified
storage-as-a-Service experience
APEX Data Storage Services offers enterprise
storage from the world's leading provider2 when and
where organizations need it. APEX Data Storage Services provides
transparent pricing and no overage fees with performance unmatched
in the public cloud.
With technology deployed on-premises, at customer locations or
at colocation facilities, organizations can select three
performance tiers of block and file storage to meet their
requirements. One- or three-year subscriptions are available, and
capacity starts as low as 50 terabytes and can scale from
there.
APEX Cloud Services delivers a consistent cloud
experience across public cloud, private cloud and the
edge
As subsets of APEX Cloud Services, APEX Hybrid
Cloud and APEX Private Cloud offer integrated compute
storage and networking resources with support for both traditional
and cloud-native applications. Customers can easily choose hybrid
or private cloud resources designed to meet the needs of critical
workloads such as AI and virtual desktop infrastructure.
APEX Cloud Services simplifies and streamlines operations
through automated lifecycle management. Once the cloud resources
are selected, customers can access the industry's fastest hybrid
cloud deployment, which is up to 86% faster than do-it-yourself
hybrid cloud3. With secure and consistent infrastructure
across private cloud, public cloud and the edge, customers can
place workloads in the environment most suited to their needs.
Organizations can reduce operational costs and manage overall cloud
IT spend through transparent and predictable subscription
pricing.
APEX Custom Solutions offers the industry's broadest
technology portfolio as-a-Service

broadest infrastructure portfolio to customers
as-a-Service. APEX Flex On Demand provides Dell

custom metering and managed services applied across their data
center.
APEX Console provides customers a unified experience
The APEX Console provides a
self-service, interactive experience where customers manage their
entire APEX lifecycle. Customers use the APEX console to identify
and subscribe to APEX services that map to their needs and Dell
matches the technology and services to deliver the desired
outcomes.
The APEX Console simplifies IT by providing monitoring and
management of APEX services, delivered with actionable insights and
predictive analytics. Customers can access usage and spending
reports and refine their APEX services to meet the changing needs
of their businesses, so they pay for what they need when they need
it.
Dell Technologies and Equinix extend the reach of APEX to
global colocation sites
Dell Technologies announces a collaboration with global
digital infrastructure company Equinix to broaden the availability
of Dell Technologies APEX services through Equinix data centers.
Working with Equinix, Dell will offer customers more options to
deploy their infrastructure while maintaining control over their
data. Dell will manage the infrastructure in an Equinix data center
of a customer's choice and will consolidate colocation costs in a
single bill. Through the combination of Dell infrastructure and
Equinix's global footprint, organizations can deliver the APEX
services where they are needed and shift to an OpEx model to pay
for the resources they use and deploy.
