What a day yesterday at the Dell Technologies APEX event packed with valuable insights, conversations, and forward-looking ideas around infrastructure and cloud strategy. At Ekco we're always thinking about what's best for our clients, and while many run successfully on Microsoft Azure, there are times when a well-considered multi-cloud strategy can offer the flexibility and resilience they need. Solutions like APEX enable a cloud-like consumption model within a locally hosted, sovereign data centre which offers the best of both worlds. Events like this help us stay sharp and continue to deliver that value. Huge thanks to Gavin Tyrrell and the Dell team for organising a fantastic day and an even better after party in the Gravity Bar at the Guinness Storehouse!
