Dell Technologies Expands Multi-Cloud Experiences Across Cyber Recovery, Data Analytics and Partner Ecosystem

Dell Technologies is delivering new cloud experiences, an expanded ecosystem, and offerings to help customers manage and protect applications across data centers and multi-cloud environments. These new offerings are designed to help organizations easily store, protect and control their data and applications across an increasing number of platforms and locations.

“Our customers want help reducing complexity and are seeking solutions that use a common approach to managing data wherever it lives – from public clouds, to the data center, to the edge,” said Chuck Whitten, co-chief operating officer, Dell Technologies. “We are building a portfolio of software and services that simplifies on-premises and multi-cloud environments and offers.”

“We are making bold moves to deliver solutions that are connected and increasingly digital to create a superior health care experience for consumers,” said Karen S. Lynch, President and CEO, CVS Health. “Our strategic collaboration with Dell is helping accelerate the value of our technology investments for our colleagues and consumers.”

Dell delivers cloud experiences for cyber recovery on-premises and in public clouds

According to a recent Gartner® report, global information security and risk management end user spending will reach around $168 billion in 2022, up over $13 billion from 2021.1 As cyber protection continues to become a greater priority, Dell is providing new options for managed cyber recovery offerings and public cloud cyber recovery solutions for multi-cloud environments.

Dell is bolstering its APEX portfolio with the introduction of Dell APEX Cyber Recovery Services. The first in a series of new APEX full stack solutions that deliver a cloud experience, APEX Cyber Recovery Services simplifies recovery from cyberattacks. Dell manages the day-to-day cyber recovery vault operations and assists with data recovery. Dell is delivering an as-a-Service experience with standardized configurations, simplified Dell-assisted recovery options and expertise from nearly 2,000 isolated vault solutions deployed globally.

 Dell is extending the reach of its multi-cloud ecosystem and speeding access to its data protection offerings for public clouds with the release of Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery for Microsoft Azure. The new service will join a broad portfolio of Dell offerings available through Microsoft Azure Marketplace and will allow organizations to:

  • Deploy an isolated cyber vault in the public cloud to more securely protect and isolate data away from a ransomware attack, improving cyber resiliency and helping reduce the impact of cyberattacks.
  • Provide flexible recovery options in the event of a cyberattack including recovery within the data center, in a new Azure private network, or in an unimpacted Azure environment.

Dell also builds on its collaboration with AWS by announcing CyberSense for Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery for AWS. With the offering, organizations will be able to:

  • Use adaptive analytics, scan metadata and complete files, and implement machine learning and forensic tools to detect, diagnose and speed data recovery.
  • Monitor files and databases to determine if a cyberattack has occurred and identify the last known uncorrupted copy of data to speed a more secure and confidential recovery.

Dell demonstrates data storage services in public clouds

Building on January’s introduction of Project Alpine, Dell is demonstrating how its storage software could be used in public clouds such as AWS and Azure. Project Alpine will provide data mobility and consistent operations across on-premises and public cloud environments. Organizations will be able to quickly deploy or easily consume Dell storage software and services that will offer performance in the public cloud efficiency and protection based on industry-leading enterprise storage.2

With Dell storage software in the public cloud, customers will be able to seamlessly move data to the cloud and leverage cloud-based analytics services. Developers can write applications once and deploy them anywhere they are needed to create a consistent, cloud-native experience across multiple public clouds.

 Dell and Snowflake collaborate to extend the multi-cloud experience

 Dell and Snowflake will work together to connect data from Dell enterprise storage with the Snowflake Data Cloud. A first of its kind, this collaboration will give customers greater flexibility operating in multi-cloud environments, meet data sovereignty requirements, and easily turn data into insights wherever it resides.

Dell and Snowflake customers will be able to use on-premises data stored on Dell object storage with the Snowflake Data Cloud while keeping their data local or seamlessly copying it to public clouds. The companies will pursue product integrations and joint go-to-market efforts in the second half of 2022.

Availability

  • Dell APEX Cyber Recovery Services is available today in the United States with broader availability planned for later this year.
  • Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery for Microsoft Azure will be globally available in the second half of 2022.
  • CyberSense for Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery for AWS will be globally available in the second half of 2022.

Dell Technologies Boosts Cloud Services with Availability of APEX Data Storage Services in Ireland

Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL) announces the expansion of APEX Data Storage Services with new availability in Ireland. The portfolio of scalable and elastic storage resources is deployable on premises, helping customers expand business and IT operations into new geographies while gaining better control of their storage costs.

According to Gartner, by 2024, over 50% of newly deployed storage capacity will be sold as-a-Service or on a subscription basis, up from less than 15% in 2020. APEX Data Storage Services delivers the industry’s leading enterprise storage portfolio as-a-Service. Through a cloud experience, customers pay for the storage capacity they use and can scale, at the service level they need with infrastructure owned and maintained by Dell. Ireland is one of 14 countries that now has APEX Data Storage Services availability.

The portfolio includes APEX File Services, which now offers object-enabled capabilities with support for the S3 protocol, expanding storage use cases to include cloud-native application development without the need to copy data. This approach allows customers to transform applications for greater agility and control.

Jason Ward, Vice-President and Managing Director, Dell Technologies Ireland, said: “70% of Irish organisations are gathering data faster than they can analyse and harness its value. The explosion in the growth of data is placing significant pressure on IT teams as they look to store this most value asset. Predicting storage needs is also becoming increasingly unmanageable.

“That’s why we’re introducing APEX Data Storage Services here in Ireland. Our new as-s-Service solutions will give businesses and organisations complete oversight of storage resources as well as the flexibility to scale their storage requirements as they need.

“With today’s business environment transforming at pace, I’m confident that our APEX Data Storage Services will provide immediate access to storage capacity which organisations require in a data-driven age. The Dell Technologies team will be supporting Irish customers in their Storage as-a-Service decisions over the coming months and work with them to simplify their storage need.”

 How APEX Data Storage Services works

Organisations can select from three performance tiers for APEX Block and File Services, available in one- or three-year terms, with base capacity options starting as low as 50 terabytes. Customers can easily procure their data storage resources through the APEX Console, a web-based tool that provides a single, seamless experience for customers to navigate their cloud and as-a-Service journey.

Customers can monitor capacity, performance and usage costs in real time, and update their subscriptions as needed. A recent Dell-commissioned Forrester Consulting study on APEX Data Storage Services shows customers can significantly reduce storage planning and provisioning costs while improving efficiency of storage professionals.

Channel partner opportunities in Ireland

APEX creates opportunities for channel partners to offer customers flexible and simplified IT solutions. With APEX Data Storage Services expanded availability, Dell Technologies Solution Providers and Storage Authorized Distributors in Ireland are able to earn incentives when selling these solutions on a referral basis. Cloud Service Provider partners also can host enhanced APEX Data Storage Services on behalf of customers.
