For standard configurations, in just 45 business days, you’ll be able to plug in the power and the mainstream switches, and go. Reliable, Scalable Platform for Traditional and Cloud-Native Workloads Hyperconverged Solution: Hitachi Unified Compute Platform The hyperconverged UCP HC redefines simplicity with compute, storage and virtualization in a simple, scalable, easy- to-deploy appliance. Each UCP HC family model combines industry-leading policy-based management and data pro- tection solutions in a single, all-inclusive, easy-to-order solution to help you deliver agile and efficient IT services. Hitachi Vantara hybrid and all-flash hyper- converged appliances enable modern businesses to introduce digital transforma- tion for faster time to value and improved operational efficiency. Hyperconverged solutions with the UCP HC family deliver reliable systems for business-critical applications, databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, DevOps, and remote and branch office (ROBO) deployments. Drive Results With the Modern Platform Organizations that choose DXC’s Modern Platform with UCP HC over traditional self- built infrastructure environments that use hyperconverged solutions are more likely to: ■ ■ Achieve business benefits equivalent to $9.1 million per year over a five-year period, resulting in a five-year return on investment (ROI) of 360%. ■ ■ Realize faster application deployment using UCP – a 39% difference. ■ ■ Gain an average of 2,353 hours per 100 users per year by implementing UCP. ■ ■ Attain annual business productivity ben- efits worth $5.6M 1 . Digital Transformation Digital transformation is about a redesign of your IT architecture and operating models. You don’t have to “start big” to get there. IT Agility: Align IT With Business Requirements UCP HC solutions allow provisioning of virtual machines (VMs) in minutes after initial racking and cabling, enabling cus- tomers to accelerate time to value and align IT with business requirements. Improved IT Efficiency: Maximize IT Efficiency With Reduced Operational Overheads Increase VM density with predictable performance to maximize ROI from infrastructure investments. The ability to leverage software-defined data center elements with industry-standard hardware reduces capital and operational expenditure (capex and opex) of UCP HC solutions. Flexibility: Tailor IT to Your Business Needs UCP HC family solutions enable busi- nesses to become more flexible with pay-as-you-grow deployment models. Linearly scale out to provide investment predictability, without requiring massive upfront expenditure in legacy three-tier architecture. You have the flexibility in component configuration to meet IT needs that are application specific.
