Dell APEX offers scalability by enabling cloud utilization and providing a subscription-based solution. You can have Dell manage everything, whether the infrastructure is in the cloud or on-premises. They handle all the patching, updates, and maintenance, freeing up your team to focus on more strategic projects. The main challenge is often cost—comparing the total cost of ownership to purchasing and managing on-prem hardware yourself. However, recent price reductions have made it more competitive. With APEX, maintenance costs are built into the monthly subscription, so your team doesn't need to spend time on operational tasks, allowing them to concentrate on engineering, architecture, and design.
