Dell Technologies World, the company’s flagship event, has kicked off, and this year’s edition is being hosted at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The event is the world’s premier tech conference where participants can learn, connect, and celebrate. It is here where a community of forward-thinkers and thought leaders gather to ideate new business solutions, and inspire people.
And during the Dell Technologies World 2023 event, which started yesterday, the company’s executives unveiled new multicloud strategies designed to help businesses function and innovate quicker through enhanced management and mobility of their applications and data wherever they are.
During the event’s keynote session on day one, Dell’s CEO Michael Dell and Co-COO Chuck Whitten unveiled three new cloud platforms being developed in partnership with Microsoft, Red Hat, and VMware, the Dell APEX portfolio.
“Partnerships [have] been at the heart of our philosophy, and no partner has been on this journey longer with us than Microsoft. And today, we have a couple of really exciting announcements to turn the big idea of multicloud into real innovations for you,” Dell said during the event.
Dell APEX Cloud Platforms are a portfolio of fully integrated and turnkey systems that integrate Dell’s infrastructure, software, and cloud operating stacks to bring in consistent multicloud operations through extending cloud operating models to on-premises and edge environments. They will be available worldwide by the second half of this year.
“Our customers continue to look for a simpler technology experience to easily manage and access their assets and applications with predictable costs and greater flexibility,” Whitten said. “That’s where Dell APEX comes in. Now, Dell APEX spans the breadth of our portfolio to give customers greater freedom for technology to support businesses as their needs dictate.”
With the Dell APEX Cloud Platforms, workloads can be brought to the ideal location depending on the desired performance, costs, and security requirements with mobility of data across a common multicloud storage layer. Customers can then seamlessly move data between on-premises environments and Dell APEX Block Storage for Public Cloud deployments. Each system is created to boost IT and developer productivity by utilizing standard management tools, as well as software-driven automated deployment and lifecycle management.
The partners are looking forward to these new strategies.
“I’m excited about this,” said Red Hat CEO Matt Hicks.
Meanwhile, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said this new technology really takes all of Dell’s innovation and operational excellence.
Dell Technologies World 2023 will run until May 25th. Some of the upcoming talks and discussions will be about the latest technological advancements, how technology can drive meaningful climate action, the importance of innovation for business success, and so much more.
