From private cloud, to multiple public clouds, to the edge, your infrastructure landscape is probably more complex than it’s ever been. It’s why we introduced Dell Technologies APEX in May, to give you a consistent experience across multiple environments so you can focus on what matters most; building your business, not managing infrastructure.
In October, we shared APEX news with an aim towards making secure and consistent operations across multi-cloud environments even easier for you. If you missed these updates, fear not, we’ve pulled together the highlights in one handy location.
Discover APEX Cloud Services with VMware
We unveiled APEX Cloud Services with VMware, offering software-defined compute, storage and networking with secure and consistent operations across multi-cloud environments—private, public and edge. APEX Cloud Services can be used with VMware Tanzu, which means you can build, test and run cloud-native applications alongside traditional applications. APEX Cloud Services can be up and running in as few as 14 days¹, and you’ll be building on infrastructure that delivers 99.9999% of availability² with security and cyber-resiliency to help you keep your data secure.

Learn why cloud and on-prem shouldn’t be an either/or
As public cloud adoption has grown, many organizations have found that the benefits—increased agility, simplified operations and accelerate innovation—can sometimes come with unexpected downsides, like runaway cloud costs or increased risk. In our VMworld session, Cloud or On-Prem? BOTH – APEX Cloud Services with VMware Cloud Brings the Cloud to the Data Center (log-in required), we share how APEX Cloud Services with VMware helps bring you the best of private and public cloud so you get the best of both worlds, without trade-offs.
Get tips on making the cloud of your dreams real
As organizations increasingly turn to as-a-service solutions to reduce upfront expenditures and infrastructure management and maintenance, many are looking for best practices on what works, what doesn’t, and how they can better operationalize their clouds to achieve the outcomes their businesses need. Our latest blog post on making your cloud dreams real is the first in a series where we share key learnings in helping customers adopt and scale their cloud platforms.
Discover a day in the life of the APEX Console
If you haven’t had a chance to take a closer look at the APEX Console, now’s the time. Simply put, the APEX Console is your orchestration platform for cloud and infrastructure services, alongside being an operational dashboard that lets you track usage and spend and monitor system health. What’s more, you can easily assign role-based access for your key stakeholders, add and manage your cloud sites and set your notification preferences—all from the homepage. Our recent APEX Console blog shows you how the console can help you streamline your team’s IT processes while making it easy to configure and buy cloud and infrastructure services at the drop of a hat.
There is much more to come in the months ahead as APEX Cloud Services with VMware Cloud becomes available to customers in the US, UK, France and Germany by the end of Dell’s fiscal year. In the meantime, you can visit APEX Cloud Services with VMware Cloud or Dell Technologies APEX.
