Case Study: Large Bank cuts data center footprint by 50% with Dell Technologies APEX Private and APEX Hybrid Cloud

Large bank reduced its data center footprint by 50%

Large Bank, a cloud‑first financial institution, was struggling with aging on‑premises infrastructure that created latency and privacy issues, workloads that couldn’t move to the public cloud, shadow IT and pressure on a small IT team. Seeking predictable OpEx pricing, vendor consolidation, rapid deployment and seamless public‑cloud integration, Large Bank turned to Dell Technologies and its APEX offerings—specifically Dell APEX Private Cloud and Dell APEX Hybrid Cloud.

Dell Technologies implemented APEX as‑a‑service and a hyperconverged platform to phase out legacy equipment, reduce the bank’s data center footprint by 50% and deliver rapid deployments (in as few as 14 days for select configurations). The solution enabled a single platform for Kubernetes and traditional apps, cost‑effective branch clouds, a quickly deployed VDI for remote workers, consolidated vendor management, and measurable improvements to the online banking customer experience.
