About the Dell APEX Block Storage for AWS – 4th Gen Nodes
The Dell APEX Console web-based unified management portal provides storage architects and IT procurement teams with a centralized control point for block storage operations across hybrid cloud environments. Dell EMC's APEX Block Storage for AWS – 4th Gen Nodes (part number APEX-BS-AWS-4G) delivers fully managed, subscription-based storage-as-a-Service operated by Dell on AWS infrastructure, eliminating the operational burden of on-premises hardware deployment and maintenance.
This 4th Generation solution combines NVMe SSD drive technology with iSCSI protocol connectivity to AWS EC2 instances via VPC, enabling high-performance block storage for mission-critical workloads without upfront capital expense. Built on Dell EMC's multi-cloud storage management ecosystem, the system supports on-demand capacity scaling through the APEX Console, thin provisioning, snapshots, and replication for comprehensive data protection. Consumption-based pricing aligns storage costs with actual usage, while Dell-managed operations eliminate procurement cycles and infrastructure overhead.
Typical Workloads and Deployment Scenarios
- Data lakes requiring elastic, high-throughput block storage with snapshot capabilities for data retention and recovery
- Backup and disaster recovery repositories leveraging replication features for geographic redundancy across AWS regions
- Database environments demanding consistent iSCSI performance and thin provisioning to optimize storage utilization
- Enterprise applications needing seamless integration with existing Dell APEX on-premises and multi-cloud deployments
- Hybrid infrastructure scenarios where unified management across clouds reduces administrative complexity and operational risk
