Hetzner kinda does that. No advertising bs but they use desktop processors/hardware as for rent servers for significantly cheaper than xeon/Epyc chips.
It seems pretty clear that the future is a unified multi-cloud, on-prem and edge platform, so it doesn't surprise me that Dell is rolling out this service. But I don't think Apex is the computing platform I've been dreaming of. Dell will sell you multi-cloud agility, but I suspect they will try to lock you into their software and hardware ecosystem. Unless Dell releases this platform as open source (at which time they can continue to profit by selling it as a service), I will be steering clear.
The only Dell I've ever owned is a Wyse 5470 AiO. It's pretty good, I have it set up to run Octoprint dockers for my 3D printers. It's got just enough power left over to run an RDP client to a virtual machine on my desktop computer, so I can also run Solidworks and my slicer directly on it. Huge upgrade from the Raspberry Pi Zero W I was using before. Would definitely recommend their thin clients, they're great products. Can't vouch for their laptops or gaming computers though, I've heard bad things about those.
Hello there sorry for being completely out of the videos conversation but please in the future can we have an update video on the ryzen ddr5 memory issues when something changes? You’re the only guy who is fully answered my questions. And I’m worried that when something doesn’t change That I won’t get the information.
Software defined (or outcome defined infrastructure via some abstracted console) is the future and its already here. However, you should always avoid vendor lock-in when possible.
Be careful about spending too much time trying to be cloud agnostic. I’ve seen that end up meaning forgoing saving money using container based services and instead using VMs which are much more expensive and annoying to maintain.
I wouldn't bet money on this being a supportable system. Dell has a bad habit of killing products in the software defined infrastructure space. Look at OpenSwitch OPX or their scalable hypercoverged products.
My experience with ABS is quite simple: expensive sloppy software. You can do Dell ABS with a different backup system + Wasabi or Backblaze storage for significantly less in dollars/TB*Month Expect Dell to buy out SaaS offerings in the future to add to their Apex portfolio. Dell doesn't actually run this stuff, they buy companies that do. Once that small company chokes, you can expect Dell to sell them off to an investment firm.
Gotta have that OpEx, that Subscription, that over time *always* adds up to cost more in the long run when you run the numbers. "But it's OpEx, so it's ok"
How about ultra cheap cloud aas using obsolete discarded ready to scrap hardware powered by Linux...? Free ad-supported tiers...

Maintenance cost would outweigh the benefits. Next best thing is IPFS that anyone can run. Maybe there is a compute equivalent

@@thelol1759 yes, will agree there. Hence, when possible and makes business sense.
When you cant get simple pricing from their website you know its gonna be arm & leg level costs.

Yay, more jobs shipped off to "big tech" in the US. Luckily I'm middle aged without much life left to pay for... wait what?
Eh.
