The colocation giant gives Dell’s nascent subscription business a global data center platform. When it rolled out its subscription service for on-prem storage earlier this month, Dell Technologies also said it would leverage Equinix data centers around the world to deploy these storage systems in, if that’s what customers desire. The service, and other services that are or will be part of Dell’s push into selling computing infrastructure subscriptions, branded as Apex, aims to give enterprise customers a more cloud-like experience than buying Dell hardware on their own and getting it deployed in their own or colocation data centers.
