Dell Technologies This year’s Dell Technologies World was my first ever Dell event, so I’m sadly unable to compare it to the face-to-face version that had been running for nearly 10 years before COVID forced it online. In fact, virtual conferences are all I’ve ever known since I began covering them just over a year ago and I’m yet to experience the dubious pleasure of tasting a par-boiled croissant. In place of such conference delicacies, Dell Technologies World 2021 delivered a healthy portion of updates to its Apex services platform. After kicking off the show with a traditional speech by Michael Dell himself, Dell CMO Allison Dew led us through an introduction to the new additions, which include hybrid cloud and deployment for its Apex Cloud Services. Dew also unveiled the new Apex Data Storage Services, Apex Custom Solutions, as well as the Apex Console.
