Recognition underscores deep strategic alignment, cloud expertise, and investment in Dell’s technology portfolio.
Macquarie Cloud Services, part of Macquarie Technology Group, has attained Titanium tier in the Dell Technologies Partner Program for 2025.
The Titanium tier is the highest level in Dell Technologies’ partner program, marking Macquarie Cloud Services as one of a select group. This attainment reflects Macquarie’s technical expertise and long-term strategic collaboration with Dell.
As one of the few end-to-end Dell-powered cloud providers in Australia, Macquarie has built its private cloud and hybrid cloud solutions on Dell’s industry-leading infrastructure, delivering performance, cost efficiency and resilience for Australian businesses.
As part of its ongoing commitment to innovation, Macquarie Cloud Services has made a multimillion-dollar investment in Dell PowerStore scalable all-flash array storage, significantly enhancing storage performance, operational efficiency and sustainability. PowerStore’s unique active/active architecture, guaranteed 5:1 data reduction and programmable ecosystem support ensure that it simply just works with both traditional and modern workloads.
“Our Titanium Partner tier is a reflection of the strength of our collaboration with Dell Technologies, built on real innovation rather than pure volume of sales,” said Jonathan Staff, Head of Private Cloud, Macquarie Cloud Services.
“We don’t just resell Dell infrastructure – we integrate it into tailored cloud solutions that drive meaningful business outcomes for our customers.”
By deploying Dell PowerStore, Macquarie Cloud Services enhances its private cloud infrastructure with:
- Up to a 360% increase in throughput performance
- 83% reduction in latency, boosting application speed
- 68% reduction in data centre space usage
- 45% lower power consumption, improving sustainability
A key driver of the expansion has been Macquarie Flex, an Australian-first hybrid cloud solution that integrates Microsoft Azure Local (formerly Azure Stack HCI) and Dell APEX Cloud Platform for Microsoft Azure. This solution gives businesses a cost-effective alternative to public cloud – enabling them to bring compute and storage closer to the edge while maintaining the scalability and security of Azure.
In today’s economic climate, cost and risk mitigation are top priorities for Australian businesses. Macquarie Cloud Services is seeing strong demand for its hybrid cloud approach, particularly from risk-averse industries like financial services, insurance, healthcare and education.
“Many customers are rethinking their cloud strategy due to rising costs and security concerns. Macquarie Flex offers savings of up to 20% compared to public cloud alternatives, while also reducing operational risk,” Staff said.
Macquarie’s strategic approach to cloud infrastructure – rather than just hardware resale – was a key reason behind its recognition as a Titanium Partner, placing it alongside global heavyweights despite operating at a different scale.
“Our investment in cutting-edge storage and cloud technology is about delivering measurable value to our customers,” said Staff.
“This relationship continues to grow because it’s strategic, long-term and built on innovation – not just transactions.”
