Enterprise Cloud Infrastructure

Infrastructure-as-a-Service

Building a better enterprise cloud

Enterprise cloud infrastructure today is most often a mix of public, private and edge cloud infrastructure. As cloud technology has evolved, enterprise IT teams tend to choose cloud platforms that will best serve the workload needs of specific applications. As a result, the average business today uses five different cloud providers, each with their own tools for governance, service definition, security and resource virtualization. This ad hoc approach to managing a multicloud environment inevitably adds cost and complexity while limiting innovation.
Dell APEX provides a solution — a portfolio of multicloud and as-as-Service solutions that simplify operations, eliminate infrastructure silos and provides a consistent management experience across private clouds, public clouds and edge locations.

How to Simplify Hybrid Cloud Management

Managing a hybrid enterprise cloud is a complicated matter. As IT teams seek to align cloud resources with the needs of specific workloads, organizations frequently adopt multiple cloud solutions, creating a chaotic and complex management environment. To overcome this hurdle, organizations must find ways to unify and simplify their hybrid cloud environments.
By adopting a solution for management consistency, enterprises can:

Accelerate time-to-market and increase the pace of innovation by simplifying operations and enhancing productivity.

Reduce risk exposure by providing administrators with greater visibility into enterprise cloud infrastructure and workload placement.

Improve workload mobility by providing administrators with more efficient processes, familiar tools and models for application deployments and migrations.

Reduce the cost of development by enabling developers to build for one environment and optimizing applications for unified infrastructure platform.

Navigating the Complexities of Multicloud Environments

Managing multiple cloud services can be a daunting task, especially when dealing with different enterprise cloud platforms, each with its own set of tools and governance policies. A unified cloud management platform can simplify this complexity.

Features to look for in an enterprise cloud platform:

Unified management:

A single dashboard to manage all your cloud services can significantly reduce complexity and the risk of errors.

Automated workflows:

Look for platforms that offer automated workflows to make it easier to deploy, monitor, and manage servers and applications.

Scalability:

The ability to easily scale up or down is crucial for adapting to business needs.

Compatibility:

Ensure that the platform is compatible with multiple public cloud partners to make it easier for your organization to adopt a diverse cloud strategy.

By leveraging these features, organizations can navigate the complexities of a multicloud environment with ease, ensuring that they get the most out of their enterprise cloud solutions.

Infrastructure-as-a-Service FAQs

Cloud networking is an IaaS offering where network capabilities and resources are made available on-demand, offered by a third-party cloud service provider via the internet or a dedicated network connection.
