FAQs

What is software-defined hybrid cloud infrastructure?

Converged infrastructure (CI) and hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) are yesterday’s architectures. Modern data demands the flexibility and scalability of software-defined infrastructure—cloud-smart infrastructure that is AI-managed and delivered as a service. FlashStack is that infrastructure. It runs your data centre and your cloud. The integrated storage, compute, and network layers are managed holistically, but still scale discreetly. With FlashStack as a Service, you can now provision each layer independently to precisely align your operating expenses with your IT usage.

People also ask:

1. What are the benefits of software-defined hybrid-cloud  infrastructure?

Common benefits of software-defined hybrid cloud or “smart” cloud  infrastructure solutions include:

  • Consolidation of storage, network, and compute resources into a single AI-managed  software and hardware solution

  • Alignment of the capacity requirements and infrastructure costs precisely to the IT requirements of your business. 

  • Infrastructure that is easy to manage, deploy, maintain, and scale from on-premises to multicloud environments.

  • A single interface that manages your storage, compute, and network layers
  • Consumption monitored and managed in real time
  • Industry-leading data reduction 
  • Tier 1 resiliency with zero performance loss 
  • Built-in disaster recovery and protection 
  • Global flash management
