OVERVIEW
A more flexible approach helps you right-size capacity and Infrastructure
Today’s dynamic business environment drives the need for a more elastic, on-demand approach to capacity. With Dell APEX Flex on Demand, you customize your hardware and software configurations and set “Committed” and “Buffer Capacity” upfront. Your usage is measured with automated tools. You pay only for what you use, with a single billing rate that helps you accurately predict future costs. Dell APEX Flex on Demand gives you additional peace of mind by capping total monthly billing at 85% usage of total installed capacity – an offer unmatched by other infrastructure providers1.
-
Deploy with confidence
We work with you to establish the “Committed Capacity” you currently need and the “Buffer Capacity” you will require in the future. All technology is installed and available to you on day one.
-
Pay flexibly
Each payment includes the fixed cost of your committed capacity plus the variable cost of buffer capacity, which is measured on a regular basis using automated tools installed with your equipment.
-
Adapt on demand
If usage consistently consumes most of the installed capacity, simply increase your capacity and all related payments will adjust commensurately.
