Today is an exciting day at Dell Technologies World 2021. All eyes are on the Dell Technologies APEX announcement, which brings a portfolio of as-a-service offerings that simplify your digital transformation while giving you the control and governance your critical workloads demand. The window into APEX is the Dell Technologies APEX Console, which provides a unified experience for modern IT service delivery, so you can drive the right outcomes for your business.
The APEX Console is where Dell Technologies APEX becomes a self-service, interactive experience. It empowers your users and stakeholders – developers, administrators and managers alike – with the insights, actions and workflows necessary to create a more agile IT organization.
Using the APEX Console, you and your organization have a single interface to:
- Discover resources from a catalog of Dell Technologies infrastructure services
- Configure and subscribe to new services more quickly and easily with built-in approval and purchasing workflows
- Deploy and provision your critical workloads and resources across your new services
- Monitor and manage your services while tracking key performance indicators for your business objectives
- Proactively optimize performance with complete transparency into utilization and spend
- Update or renew your subscriptions, and quickly grow service capacity to keep pace with your growing business
As-a-Service, at your service
Discovering services and exploring configuration options – with clear and transparent cost information – shouldn’t require hours of research and numerous meetings. As you embark on this APEX journey with us, you’ll start with the modern, self-service ecommerce experience through the APEX Console. You can browse our catalog of subscription-based APEX services with fixed-rate and usage-based pricing models. Today, that catalog includes APEX Cloud Services (APEX Hybrid Cloud and APEX Private Cloud) and the new APEX Data Storage Services.
Within the Console, you can then create, configure and place subscription orders through self-service workflows that offer the ability to save draft configurations or submit them for financial approval. Console administrators can use your organization’s policies to specify who should have permission to create, review, approve and place orders.
When subscribing to new services and expanding existing ones, built-in site surveys, order tracking and colocation deployment options ensure your services are deployed within your chosen IT environment quickly.
Once your subscription has been activated, the APEX Console gives complete visibility of billing details and documents, including invoices, credit memos, and even pre-invoice usage reports for APEX Flex On Demand customers.
Making agility a priority
The modern IT experience demands greater self-service for IT and financial users, and APEX Console delivers. From configuring services and deploying use cases to querying historical billing details and planning for future growth, the APEX Console provides all of the tools to power your IT journey with any user within your organization.
In addition to enabling project leads to choose new services and helping finance users to manage the budget, the APEX Console empowers IT users to monitor and modify subscriptions to increase capacity, improve performance and balance active and backup storage data sets. For APEX Data Storage Services, the APEX Console includes integrated monitoring and capacity management capabilities to give you a quick look at your system health, then provides access to deeper insights and metrics to optimize performance and utilization with predictive analytics for capacity management and forecasting. At every step of the APEX journey, the APEX Console provides the visibility you need to be agile and stay one step ahead of the competition.
This modern, unified workflow aligns your business objectives across infrastructure, software, licensing, documentation and support. Having oversight of all your resources through the APEX Console enables a more agile IT department that can meet mission critical business demands.
