Dell expands ecosystem of new multi-cloud experiences

Dell Technologies has expanded its ecosystem for a new and better cloud experience for their clients, said a top official. 

“Our customers want help reducing complexity and are seeking solutions that use a common approach to managing data wherever it lives – from public clouds, to the data center, to the edge,” said Chuck Whitten, co-chief operating officer, Dell Technologies. 

The new products will assist clients in managing and protecting applications across data centres and multi-cloud settings. These services are intended to make it easier for businesses to store, manage, and control their data and applications across a growing variety of platforms and locations.

Whitten added: “We are building a portfolio of software and services that simplifies on-premises and multi-cloud environments and offers.” 

Dell delivers cloud experiences for cyber recovery on-premises and in public clouds 

According to a recent Gartner analysis, global end user spending on information security and risk management will reach $168 billion in 2022, up over $13 billion from 2021. Dell is expanding its managed cyber recovery capabilities and public cloud cyber recovery solutions for multi-cloud scenarios as cyber security becomes a higher priority.

Dell’s APEX portfolio has been bolstered with the addition of Dell APEX Cyber Recovery Services. APEX Cyber Recovery Services is the first in a series of new APEX full stack solutions that give a cloud experience. It facilitates recovery from cyberattacks. Dell oversees the daily operations of the cyber recovery vault and assists with data recovery. With standardised setups, simplified Dell-assisted recovery choices, and expertise from nearly 2,000 isolated vault solutions deployed globally, Dell is providing an as-a-Service experience.

Dell is extending the reach of its multi-cloud ecosystem and speeding access to its data protection offerings for public clouds with the release of Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery for Microsoft Azure. The new service will join a broad portfolio of Dell offerings available through Microsoft Azure Marketplace and will allow organisations to: 

• Deploy an isolated cyber vault in the public cloud to more securely protect and isolate data away from a ransomware attack, improving cyber resiliency and helping reduce the impact of cyberattacks. 
• Provide flexible recovery options in the event of a cyberattack including recovery within the data centre, in a new Azure private network, or in an unimpacted Azure environment. 

Dell also builds on its collaboration with AWS by announcing CyberSense for Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery for AWS. With the offering, organisations will be able to:

• Use adaptive analytics, scan metadata and complete files, and implement machine learning and forensic tools to detect, diagnose and speed data recovery.
• Monitor files and databases to determine if a cyberattack has occurred and identify the last known uncorrupted copy of data to speed up a more secure and confidential recovery.
