Explore our compute services
End-user computing, servers, storage, virtualisation and hyperconverged infrastructure, one modern platform narrative. Hybrid and private cloud operating models sit in the Cloud domain and are cross-linked here.
Client computing
Secure, productive and manageable end-user devices, delivered across the full lifecycle: assessment, deployment, endpoint security, management and refresh.
↗ 02Server consolidation & virtualisation
Consolidate fragmented server environments onto resilient, efficiently utilised, virtualised platforms for approved workloads.
↗ 03Storage & data management
Scalable storage for applications, virtual workloads, databases, files, objects, analytics and backup, sized with protection, replication and lifecycle in mind.
↗ 04Hyperconverged infrastructure
Compute, storage, virtualisation and management unified into one software-defined platform, predictable to scale, simpler to operate and hybrid-cloud ready.
↗ Cloud →Hybrid cloud
Consistent operations across on-premises, private and public cloud. Delivered under the Cloud domain.
↗ Cloud →Private cloud
A controlled cloud operating experience with automation and governance. Delivered under the Cloud domain.
↗Delivery and support
Discovery, design, validation and deployment are scoped to your environment. The agreed deliverables and support responsibilities are documented before work begins.
