Ready to Reimagine Your Data Center Network?
The pace of digital disruption is relentless — and it's putting enterprise networks to the test. Experience-led, virtual and IoT applications with cognitive capabilities demand networks that are high-performing and self-aware. Traditional networks, built on proprietary hardware and manual deployment, simply don't offer the flexibility or agility you need. To keep up, network infrastructure must evolve beyond the traditional data center boundaries.
Our software-defined framework delivers end-to-end transformation through automated policy enforcement, intelligent abstraction and hybrid interconnects across multicloud and on-prem environments. With data center networking at the heart of our approach, we help you build infrastructure that adapts as your business grows.
What's Holding You Back?
Growing complexity: Data volumes, devices, users and applications are multiplying — making data center networking more complex than ever.
Security challenges: Rapid east-west traffic, especially in multitenant environments, means security requirements must constantly evolve.
Legacy limitations: Rigid, disconnected legacy architectures slow down business agility and increase security risks.
Performance bottlenecks: Traditional edge hardware routing can slow applications, limit growth, drive up costs and add delays.
Transformation barriers: Mixing technologies, vendors and operations teams makes full-scale replacement expensive and disruptive.

Frequently Asked Questions about Managed DC Networking
Data center networking is rapidly shifting toward software-defined, automated and hybrid models. At HCLTech, we observe clients transitioning from rigid, hardware-centric designs to flexible, programmable networks that support cloud adoption, microservices and real-time analytics. This evolution enables greater agility, security and scalability for today’s digital-first enterprises.
Software-defined networking (SDN) enables centralized control, automation and programmability, facilitating modernization of data centers. At HCLTech, we leverage SDN to streamline network management, enable rapid provisioning and enforce consistent security policies. This approach reduces complexity, minimizes manual errors and accelerates digital transformation for our clients.
A software-defined data center (SDDC) abstracts and virtualizes compute, storage and networking resources, enabling centralized management and automation. At HCLTech, we deploy SDDC architectures that allow clients to dynamically allocate resources, enforce policies and scale workloads across on-prem and cloud environments—all through software control.
Observability provides real-time insights into network performance, security and health. At HCLTech, we implement analytics and monitoring tools that help clients detect anomalies, optimize resources and ensure compliance. Enhanced observability empowers proactive management and supports continuous improvement in data center networking.
Assessing SDN readiness involves evaluating the current network architecture, operational processes and skill sets. We conduct comprehensive SDN readiness assessments, identifying gaps and recommending actionable steps. Our experience ensures clients understand the technical and organizational changes required for a successful SDN adoption and network transformation.
Our data center networking services cover end-to-end transformation — from initial assessments and SDN integration to automation, observability and ongoing managed operations. We help clients with hybrid interconnects, policy-driven security, network modernization and 24x7x365 support, ensuring their infrastructure remains resilient and future-ready.
Automation is crucial for managing today’s complex and high-velocity data center environments. We utilize AI/ML-driven automation to minimize manual tasks, expedite service delivery and enhance uptime. Automated policy enforcement and self-healing capabilities ensure networks remain secure, resilient and responsive to evolving business needs.
Hybrid clouds require seamless integration between on-prem and cloud resources. We help clients extend network and security policies across environments, enable workload mobility and ensure consistent connectivity. Our expertise in hybrid interconnects and automation ensures clients achieve agility without compromising security or performance.
Micro segmentation divides the network into secure, isolated segments to limit the lateral movement of threats. We use this approach to enforce granular security policies, protect sensitive workloads and support zero-trust architectures. Our expertise ensures clients achieve robust, adaptable security within modern data center environments.
NetOps automation streamlines network operations by automating provisioning, configuration and monitoring tasks. At HCLTech, we empower clients to respond faster to business demands, reduce operational overhead and minimize errors. Automated workflows align network changes with DevOps practices, driving greater agility and efficiency.
