Dell Technologies APEX as-a-Service acts as the underlying infrastructure of the new cloud transformation offering RISE with SAP S/4HANA private edition, customer data center option.
Enterprise software giant SAP and provider of modern IT infrastructure Dell Technologies have joined forces to integrate their world-renowned cloud-based technology solutions RISE with SAP and APEX. The latest offering RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition, customer data center option with Dell Technologies APEX brings together the German tech company’s private managed cloud and Dell’s infrastructure-as-a- Service to securely delivery customers a simplified as-a-service and cloud experience on-premises for SAP S/4HANA.
Explaining about the collaborative partnership, Peter Pluim, President, SAP Enterprise Cloud Services, SAP, said:
“We heard directly from customers that they needed an on-premises data center choice because of stringent regulatory/compliance, security, or data sovereignty concerns. Through this new deployment choice with Dell Technologies, customers can consume their mission-critical SAP landscapes based on cloud economics and characteristics in their own secure and reliable environment and thus simplify their journey to become intelligent enterprises.”

Dell Technologies launched its APEX portfolio of as-a-Service offerings in May 2021, a few months after the debut of RISE with SAP, to help organisations simplify transformation while still ensuring flexibility and scalability. The portfolio, which includes APEX Data Storage Services, APEX Cloud Services, and APEX Custom Solutions, empowers organisations to adapt to changing business needs as well as to drive efficiency and cost-effectivity on physical IT infrastructure management and maintenance.
