3.1. Dell APEX

Dell Technologies’ APEX helps combat the environmental impact of your IT operations by reducing resource usage, limiting e-waste and providing you with a responsible end-of-use management for devices.

Reducing resource usage

Reduce wasteful overprovisioning of your data center by up to 37%, and the associated costs of powering and cooling underutilised equipment by as much as 45%, by scaling up only when you need to with APEX. By right sizing your IT environment, and outsourcing parts of your infrastructure to colocations that run on renewable energy, you reduce carbon emissions and energy wastage.

Limit E-Waste

Minimise e-waste and remove the burden of end-of-use management by allowing Dell to take care of your infrastructure’s lifecycle as part of the APEX service. Dell recycles or re-uses 95% of all returned equipment and by responsibly repurposing or retiring technology on your behalf, you can save up to 53% in time spent decommissioning hardware.

Enjoy a responsible supply chain

Accelerate your efforts to create a sustainable supply chain through APEX as you benefit from Dell’s commitment to climate action and ethical practices. At Dell Technologies, as well as striving to meet our own ambitious sustainability goals, we drive suppliers to adhere to the Responsible Business Alliance Code of Conduct.
