Building an Enterprise Cloud with HCI

As agencies deepen their investment in the cloud, they need to make strategic choices about which applications and data move the cloud and which stay on-premises. While the public cloud offers appealing benefits, it’s not always the best choice. In the case of some mission-critical applications or sensitive data, a private cloud is a better option, making it easier to manage risk and to comply with regulations and policies. As a result, most agencies are moving to a hybrid cloud environment.

But how can agencies create an environment that is robust enough to meet the performance requirements of the hybrid cloud? This three-part course will discuss the role of hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) as the foundation for an on-premise, cloud-ready environment. We will provide an overview of how HCI works and how it simplifies cloud deployment, and we will offer best practices for putting HCI in practice.
