About the Dell APEX Block Storage for AWS Outposts
Dell EMC APEX Block Storage for AWS Outposts delivers enterprise-grade block storage capacity and performance within AWS Outposts racks, combining on-premises data residency with cloud-native consumption models. This solution integrates NVMe SSD storage media with inline data reduction—compression and deduplication—to optimize capacity utilization while maintaining high availability through redundant controllers and enterprise-class components. For storage architects and IT procurement teams evaluating hybrid cloud infrastructure, the APEX Block Storage (part number APEX-BS-AWS-OP-001) bridges the operational gap between AWS-managed services and on-premises regulatory requirements.
The Dell EMC deployment leverages thin provisioning and Amazon EBS API compatibility, enabling seamless integration with Amazon EC2 instances running directly on AWS Outposts hardware. Management occurs through the Dell APEX Console—a cloud-based interface—alongside the AWS Management Console, unifying control and observability. Native integration with AWS CloudWatch provides monitoring and alerting, while support for AWS IAM and data residency compliance ensures security policies remain aligned with regulatory mandates. Capacity scales dynamically via the Dell-managed, as-a-service subscription model, eliminating capital expenditure friction. This architecture is designed for customer-managed data centers and colocation facilities where on-premises EC2 compute requires persistent, low-latency block storage without replicating data to public AWS regions.
