Advantages of Dell APEX Cloud Platform for Red Hat OpenShift
- Optimize cost
Cloud services often come with variable costs based on usage. Repatriating IT can help organizations achieve more predictable budgeting and avoid unexpected spikes in costs associated with variable pricing models. Dell APEX Cloud Platform for Red Hat OpenShift can help customers repatriate workloads on-premise without sacrificing the cloud-like experience.
- Mitigate risk
Customers who have standardized on VMWare may be facing uncertainty about their IT strategy moving forward. Dell APEX Cloud Platform for Red Hat OpenShift represents an alternative that can not only accommodate their virtualized workloads today, but can also be a singular platform for modernizing to containers and hybrid cloud environments.
- Grow revenue and deliver results
Dell APEX Cloud Platform for Red Hat OpenShift is an automated Red Hat OpenShift appliance, with streamlined updates that require little to no downtime. This means that the barrier to innovation is lower, so developers can respond to customer needs and deliver features faster.
- Reduce sprawl
Large enterprises often face challenges with virtual machine (VM) sprawl, greatly increasing management complexity and increasing security risk. Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization is a shift from traditional virtualization, managing VMs in a cloud-native way as declarative Kubernetes constructs, versus bespoke VMs that may have drifted from any known configuration. Because Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization is more conducive to DevOps practices, it can facilitate an organizational shift towards managing infrastructure in a more automated, reliable, and predictable fashion.
- Move to AI
The Dell Validated Design for Red Hat OpenShift AI on the APEX Cloud Platform provides organizations with a streamlined guide for deploying digital assistants using a large language model (LLM) and the Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) framework. This comprehensive multicloud solution demonstrates the secure on-premise use of RAG with your data, showcasing a unified integration.
The Dell APEX Cloud Platform and Red Hat OpenShift AI help data scientists with the agility, flexibility, portability, and scalability needed to design, build, and deploy AI-enabled applications on a large scale.
