Transform Your Hybrid Cloud: Dell APEX Enhances Azure Stack HCI Experience

The cloud market is on a steady rise, with IDC predicting global spending to exceed $800 billion in 2024 and potentially doubling by 2028. That’s why Dell is innovating hybrid solutions for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI to help businesses build effective strategies with their expertise and technology.

Dell offers two solutions for enhancing the Azure Stack HCI. First the Dell APEX Cloud Platform for Microsoft Azure provides deep integration and intelligent automation to simplify deployment and operations.

“Now this offering is co-engineered with Microsoft to optimize and extend the Azure Hybrid Cloud on prem,” said Matt McSpirit, senior principal engineering technologist at Dell and Microsoft Azure MVP.“It includes the Dell APEX Cloud Platform Foundation software, which provides a really deep integration and intelligent automation to help simplify things like that initial deployment and cluster creation, in addition to ongoing operations across the whole stack.”

The other is the Dell Integrated Systems for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI, which are preconfigured, tightly integrated hyperconverged infrastructures certified and backed by Dell’s engineering expertise.

“Now this offering is an excellent choice for customers who are seeking a smartly priced and reliable Azure Stack HCI solution with more of a native Microsoft management experience,” said McSpirit.

The Dell Integrated System gives a Microsoft-driven management experience, while the APEX Cloud platform offers exceptional productivity and automation. Both are built on the latest generation of PowerEdge.

In addition, Dell’s single source support for Azure Stack HCI simplifies everything, saving you time and money.
