Deliver Private Cloud at Scale

IT teams are increasingly required to deliver more and to deliver faster. Keeping up with IT operational efficiency while also keeping customers happy is a delicate balance that requires a thoughtful approach, with agile strategy. More than ever, it has become apparent that to maintain a relevant infrastructure, you must keep it up to date and innovative at the same time.

You need an innovative platform for such an undertaking. A platform that can deliver predictable performance, scale with ease, and excel in automation to get rid of manual tasks is what you need to keep all the cogs in the wheel running.

Initially, it was thought that public cloud was the answer to these challenges. However, despite the agility and easy consumption of public cloud, that view has been quickly dispelled. As a result, enterprise IT teams are combining on-premises workloads in a private cloud with workloads in the public cloud. For this hybrid cloud approach to run successfully, you need a private cloud that can provide agility and self-service, full control of performance, and lower costs over a public cloud option.

So, now, IT teams are faced with an important choice: Which infrastructure do we choose?

Your storage teams are responding to data growth while budgets and staff might be diminishing. Your application teams might want a solution that helps meet business demands and that also guarantees high performance and protects availability. Your CIO might be interested in digital transformation and in controlling costs. You have many teams with interests at stake and many opinions to sift through, ultimately making this decision much more complicated.

Hyper Converged Solutions

As a way to modernize legacy infrastructure, to meet the needs of stakeholders, and to enable private cloud all at the same time, enterprise IT teams are turning to hyper converged infrastructure (HCI). Not every HCI is the same, however. So, again, we are left wondering, which solution do we choose?

Thankfully, now is not the moment when we rattle off each type of HCI solution. We’re here to tell you that NetApp^® HCI is simply the right solution—for your storage team, your application team, and for your CIO. Only with NetApp HCI can you guarantee performance for, easily automate, and power your private cloud, all at scale.

Achieving a high-performance, efficient private cloud is difficult in itself, and many factors can prohibit its success. Do any of the following sound familiar?

Scaling is difficult.
Performance is unstable.
Automation is complex.
Connection to the cloud is limited.

Simplify, Automate, Integrate

With NetApp HCI, the obstacles that might have stopped you from considering an HCI in the first place are eliminated. NetApp HCI enables your private cloud to automate with ease, and it simplifies management. Say goodbye to disruptions and expensive surprises. The beauty of NetApp HCI is that it overcomes the business and technical challenges of the private cloud, complete with a platform that you can scale, automate, and integrate.
