Overview
  •  

    Subscribe to workload instances in a few clicks

    Dell Technologies Cloud Platform (DTCP) delivers application-ready cloud infrastructure with pre-configured instance-based offerings supporting a wide range of enterprise workloads running on virtual machines or containers.

    In a few clicks, you can subscribe to instances designed for your workloads through the Dell Technologies Cloud Console — and get it deployed in your data center, co-location facility and edge locations in as few as 14 days2. With a simple way to size and order on-premises cloud resources, this enables you to focus on your applications instead of infrastructure procurement and upgrades. 

    Now you can develop, test and run both cloud native and traditional applications on a single platform to deliver a simple path to on-premises cloud through automated operations.

All subscription offers are available with a 1- or 3-year term — where hardware, software and services (deployment, rack integration, support, asset recovery) components are included in a single monthly price. This also means you have a single point of contact for support and a technical team who’s dedicated to your environment and business. 

    With a simple way to size and order on-premises cloud resources, you can focus on your applications instead of procurement. You can also contact Dell Technologies to create a customized configuration designed for your unique application needs.

    Browse, order and manage cloud services with the Cloud Console

    The Dell Technologies Cloud Console is a brand-new online platform that delivers a unified and seamless experience, enabling you to more easily manage your on-premises cloud journey. With just a few clicks, you can browse a marketplace of cloud products, services and solutions, and then order a cloud solution built for your business. Through the console, you can deploy workloads, manage your multi-cloud resources, monitor your costs in real-time and procure additional resources — as your business demands.

  • Deploy instances designed for your enterprise workloads

    Instances are standardized combinations of compute, memory, storage and networking resources — powered by Dell EMC VxRail and optimized for virtualized and containerized workloads. Additionally, we offer special purpose instance types with Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) from Nvidia™ to address artificial intelligence/machine learning and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.

    They are optimized to fit your different use cases and range from small (4GB) to extra-large (32GB) memory-to-CPU core ratios for virtualized and containerized workloads. Instances are offered in quantities (i.e. blocks) of 50, 100, 200 and 500 [instances], enabling you to scale your cloud deployment to meet the requirements of your workloads. Instance blocks can be added together to run a larger quantity of instances of the same type, or you can mix and match in order to support multiple different workloads within the same solution.

    It's now easy to make the right choice for your business outcomes with an intuitive selection of cloud solutions aligned to your enterprise workloads.
