One software-defined platform, not four things to integrate.

Hyperconverged infrastructure brings compute, storage, virtualisation and management into a unified platform, designed for predictable scaling, simpler operations, resilience and hybrid-cloud readiness.

A conceptual sequence used to explain the service, not a customer deployment.

What it is

A hyperconverged platform that unifies compute, storage, virtualisation and management in software, positioned as the bridge between infrastructure consolidation and cloud operating models.

01

Who it is for

Simplifying the data centre

Teams reducing the complexity of separate compute and storage stacks.

Planning to scale

Environments that need predictable, incremental growth.

Cloud-bound

Organisations preparing for hybrid-cloud operating models.

What you get

Predictable scale

Grow the platform in known, incremental steps.

Simpler operations

One software-defined platform to manage, not several stacks.

Platform resilience

Availability designed into the architecture.

Hybrid-cloud ready

A foundation aligned to cloud operating models.

How we deliver it

Step 1
Assess
Review workloads, capacity, growth and resilience requirements.
Step 2
Design
Size the HCI platform, scaling model and management approach.
Step 3
Deploy
Implement and validate through an approved change plan.
Step 4
Operate
Hand over with a clear operating and scaling model.

Questions about this service

How is HCI different from traditional infrastructure?

HCI brings compute, storage, virtualisation and management into one software-defined platform, simplifying operations and enabling predictable, incremental scaling.

Does HCI support hybrid cloud?

Yes. HCI is positioned as the bridge between infrastructure consolidation and cloud operating models, and CDS designs it to be hybrid-cloud ready.

Consider HCI for your next platform.
